The Don JoaquĂ­n Universe

You Don't Learn To Cook Without Cooking. So Why Learn A Language Without Speaking?

Every other app teaches you about a language. We teach you to speak it — with the coffee shop cashier, the cute vacation fling, the local talking $hit about your accent. Because that's who you'll actually meet.

Those Apps Need You To Fail.

You've done the streaks. Hoarded the badges. "Learned" for 200 days straight and still panic when someone actually speaks to you.

That's not a bug — it's the business model. Those apps are profitable because most users don't show up. If everyone actually practiced, they'd go bankrupt.

We charge per minute. We only get paid when you actually talk. That's not a pricing quirk — it's the whole point.

The Part Other Apps Skip

Actually Talking.

Characters With Receipts

Every conversation builds on the last. Your mistakes, your progress, your weak spots — they remember it all. No starting over. No pretending you didn't struggle last time. And no forgetting when you finally nail it.

The Way People Actually Talk

Nobody speaks like a language course. Our characters use the slang, shortcuts, and regional quirks you'll actually hear.

Practice What You Suck At

Conversations expose weak spots. Drills hammer them. You improve where it matters, not where it's easy.

No Multiple Choice To Hide Behind

You can't tap your way through a real conversation. You have to actually respond. That's uncomfortable — and that's why it works.

Practice Volume That Works

A tutor costs $15-40/hour. We cost $5-8. Same budget, 5x more practice. Research shows volume wins—and now you can actually afford it.
