Kwazzl Learn Spanish
by living it.

The five Kwazzl neighbours posing together: Alba with blue hair, Tito the muscly ice-cream man, Carmen in her red dress, Dani with headphones, and bearded Paco. ¡Hola, vecino! ¿Qué quieres?

The Sims for language learners. Move into a sunny Spanish barrio on your phone, order ice cream from Tito, get the gossip from Carmen, haggle at Paco’s fruit stall, and say every line out loud.

Made for complete beginners. No Spanish needed.

You’ve got a 412-day streak, but you still freeze when it’s time to
order a coffee.

Apps drill words. Chatbots talk back. Neither gives you a counter to stand at, or someone waiting for your answer. Kwazzl does.

Order an ice cream. Out loud.

Tito sells ice cream in the park. He’s loud, he’s sunny, and he is definitely not the lost DJ Tito Frutti. Order right and you walk away with a scoop. Order wrong and… well, you’ll see.

You don’t study Spanish here. You move in.

One word, quiero, travels through a whole day in the barrio. Press play. Sound on.

How it works

A day in the barrio.

Everything in Kwazzl is a place you go and someone you talk to. These are real screens from the current build.

Swipe through →

  1. Three-minute stories with the neighbours. Tap any word to see what it means, then say your line out loud.

    A scene: Tito at his cart says ‘Bienvenido al helado de Tito’, and the tapped word shows its meaning, welcome.

  2. Tap a neighbour on the map and just talk: speak, type or pick a reply. They answer in their own voice and remember what you said.

    A live conversation with Carmen, with three suggested replies and a keyboard.

  3. Finish a scene and Tito wants to know how the ice cream was. Answer in Spanish and he answers back.

    Tito's text messages: ‘¡Hola, Sam! ¿Qué tal el helado?’ and the player's reply, ‘Quiero otro.’

  4. Five-minute workouts built from lines you actually heard. Hear it, build it, then say it, and Kwazzl tells you how it sounded.

    A Gimnasio workout: You say ‘¡Sí, quiero bailar!’, marked ¡Muy bien!

  5. Three-minute lessons on Tito’s chalkboard: soy, eres, es with a pigeon in the front row and papá calling at the worst moment.

    Tito at his chalkboard, which reads SER: yo soy, tú eres, él / ella es.

  6. Carmen flew for thirty years, and now she makes announcements. Each aviso trains one sound. Aviso 1: the h says nothing. Carmen says plenty.

    A bordo con Carmen: Carmen in her crew wings plays Tito's line over the cabin speaker, and you pick ¿Qué helado, amigo? over elado and jelado.

  7. Every word, phrase, grammar pattern and sound you meet lands in your Diario, ready to practise.

    The Diario: 82 of 300 words, sorted into topics like food, the body and clothes.
Los vecinos

Your new neighbours.

Five locals with their own voices, habits and running gags. They remember you, gossip about you, and text you when you’ve been away.

Hover a neighbour to say hi.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do I need to know any Spanish?

No. Kwazzl starts from zero. Every Spanish line has its English one tap away, and the first scenes only ask for a word or two.

Do I really have to talk out loud?

That’s the idea: you get better at speaking by speaking. When you can’t talk, on the bus say, skip a spoken line and come back to it later. With the neighbours you can also type.

Which Spanish will I learn?

Latin American Spanish, the variety most of the world’s Spanish speakers use. Your Spanish will work in Madrid too.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone and Android. Tell us which one you have when you sign up, so we send the right invite.

Is it free?

The playtest is free. We’ll share pricing before the launch.

How long does a visit take?

A scene takes about three minutes and a workout about five, so a visit fits into a coffee break.

Can I make my own character?

Yes. On your first day Carmen asks ¿Cómo eres?, and you build your look from the barrio’s wardrobe. Then she hands you your ficha de vecino, and you’re in.

Who makes Kwazzl?

A small independent team of game makers, working with a learning designer. Spanish comes first; more languages follow after the launch.

Move in early.

The first neighbours move in this November. Leave your email and we’ll send your invite when the playtest opens.
