¡No manches! chido antojo ¡Échale ganas!
The Spanish app for life after Duolingo

Your everyday life is
your Spanish textbook.

Write a short journal about your real day, and AI finds the expressions you actually wanted to say — then takes you straight into conversation practice with them. Every session earns chiles 🌶️ that grow your Tacotchi. No more random drills: your own words come first.

How it works

Write it → find it → say it.

You don't follow a textbook's order — you start from what you wanted to say today. One loop takes just 5–10 minutes.

STEP 1📓 Write your journal

Jot down your day in Spanish. Can't say something? Just write that part in English — the gaps are the point.

Hoy fui a una cafetería. I wanted to order the new seasonal drink but had no idea how to ask for it…
STEP 2✨ AI extracts your expressions

You get 4–5 expressions for what you actually meant to say. Verbs come with the conjugations your context calls for.

pedir peh-DEER verb
to order, to ask for
quiero pedir I want to orderpedí I ordered
el menú el meh-NOO noun
STEP 3💬 Make it stick in conversation

The AI builds a one-session chat where your new expressions come up naturally. Corrections appear separately, marked 📝.

¿Qué vas a pedir hoy? 🌮
(What are you going to order today?)
Quiero pedir un café con leche.
¡Buena elección! Yo también quiero uno.📝 Perfect! "quisiera" would sound even more polite
Growth — and rot

Study and it grows. Slack off and it rots.

Journals and conversation practice earn chiles 🌶️ that level up your Tacotchi. Skip a few days and its freshness starts dropping… it's a very honest taco.

Keep skipping days and… it rots.

When the freshness gauge hits zero, out come the mold and the flies. Don't worry — you can always start over with a fresh, warm tortilla. It's a taco that puts its body on the line to give you a reason to come back. That's the point.

Features

Everything it takes to actually use your Spanish.

🧩Output at your level

Beginners build sentences by arranging word chips; intermediate and advanced learners type freely. Pick the challenge that fits you today.

📖Conjugations that fit your context

Not just "trabajar" but "I worked yesterday = trabajé." Each card shows the conjugations you'll actually use in your own sentences.

🎥Native speakers, on video

One tap jumps to real clips where your new expression is actually being spoken. Proof that people really say it.

🌐Explanations in English / 日本語 / both

Switch the language of meanings, translations, and corrections anytime.

⌨️Your normal keyboard works

No accent marks needed (é, ñ, ¡¿). Type "trabaje" and it's still recognized as "trabajé."

🔍Deep-dive requests

Send a theme like "I want to order at a taquería" and get a custom expression set plus a practice session, generated on the spot.

For schools & classrooms

One class code, and today's lesson is set.

For university language courses, language schools, and corporate training. A taco worth raising solves the oldest problem in language learning: students who stop.

🎟 Onboard with a class code

Students just enter the code you hand out. Fifteen minutes into the first class, everyone is writing their first journal.

🔒 Teachers can't read journals

Journal text belongs to the student alone — enforced at the database access-control level, so learners can write honestly.

📊 You see who's keeping up

Teachers see only stats: streaks, journal counts, expressions learned. Spot a student going stale before their taco does.

🧾 Invoice billing available

Per-seat annual licenses, with quotes and invoicing (bank transfer) supported.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost? Can I try it for free?
You get full access free for 7 days — no credit card required. After that it's ≈$6/month (billed ¥980 JPY, tax incl.), or ≈$60/year (billed ¥9,800 JPY, 2 months free). USD amounts are approximate; your card is charged in yen. Even if you don't subscribe after the trial, your phrasebook and learning history stay viewable for free, forever (only new journal analysis and conversation practice go on pause). See Pricing for details.
Is it easy to cancel?
Yes. You can cancel anytime from your account page in the app (it opens the Stripe billing portal). After canceling, you keep full access until the end of the period you've already paid for.
What if I can barely write any Spanish?
That's fine. Your journal can mix Spanish with your own language. The things you wanted to say but couldn't are exactly what become your study material. In beginner mode, conversation practice works by arranging word chips instead of free typing.
Which variety of Spanish does it teach?
Latin American Spanish, prioritizing how people actually talk in Mexico. That includes living expressions like ¡No manches! and chido that you won't find in a textbook.
Can anyone else read my journal?
Journal text is readable by you alone. Even in a school or classroom setting, teachers only ever see learning stats — never the text itself.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs right in your browser. If you want the full app feel, add it to your home screen and it launches full-screen like a native app (no App Store or Google Play). See Use it as an app for the steps.
Are other languages available?
A Chinese version, "Pandatchi" 🐼, is in the works — with more languages planned after that.
