Lessons that get you talking • Every lesson now starts as a full lesson with speaking practice. Prefer reading? Pick it before you start. • Free speaking practice now covers the first ten lessons. • Beginner Lessons 1–10 are rewritten around real situations: introducing yourself, ordering, asking someone to repeat, a call from your driver, and hearing Puerto Rican speech. Fairer feedback • Say what the exercise asks and you get full marks, with a local way to say it as a tip. • Talk like a local ('toy, pa') and the app cheers you on. • Lessons skip questions you've already answered and mark what's new. • Can't talk right now? Skip a speaking step and keep going. Fixes • On iPhone, recordings that picked up no sound now stop quickly and ask you to try again. • Names in lesson text no longer get mixed up.
Speak Spanish the way people really talk. Learn the phrases locals use from Puerto Rico to Spain, say them out loud, and get a pronunciation score. BoricuaSpeak started with Puerto Rican Spanish and now teaches 11 regions: Puerto Rico, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, Costa Rica, Spain, and neutral Latin American Spanish. SPEAK FROM THE FIRST LESSON • Short lessons built around your voice: hear a phrase, say it back, then answer the way a local would. • Pronunciation scoring by Microsoft Azure Speech shows which words you nailed and which to practice. • Review with spaced repetition, and compare how each region says the same thing. A TUTOR FROM EVERY REGION • Chat with an AI tutor from the region you are learning, like Carlos from San Juan or María from Ponce. • Practice real scenarios by typing or speaking, with coaching after each reply, a scorecard at the end and a dial from formal to street. • Real Message: paste or say a message you got and see what it means, its tone and how a local would reply. STREET MODE • Answer real situations out loud or in writing. Your tutor reacts out loud and rates how local you sound (Sounds Local, Textbook or Tourist) with a one-line roast you can share. • Velocity: the same challenges played slower, at normal speed, or fast with heavy slang. • Send a friend a challenge and keep a running score. DAILY GAMES • Guess the Region: 10 slang phrases a day, each from a different region. Hear or read each one, pick where it's from, then see how your friends and everyone else did. • Daily Decoder: a Puerto Rican phrase at street speed. Catch it, then see the dropped sounds and slang explained. • Sound Local test: type or say a phrase and see how local it sounds in each of the 11 regions. KEEP IT GOING • A weekly league (Liga Boricua in Puerto Rico): earn XP from lessons, games and Street Mode and see where you rank this week in your region, among friends and overall. • A daily mission built from what you need to practice, plus streaks, badges and reminders from your tutor. • Slang Vault: more than 500 slang words and phrases across the 11 regions, each with its meaning and an example. Collect them into your review deck and complete sets. FREE AND PREMIUM BoricuaSpeak is free to download.
