See Lina in action
Lina plays a barista in Madrid
Lina¡Buenos días! ¿Qué le pongo?Good morning! What can I get you?
YouUn café con leche, por favor.A coffee with milk, please.
Lina¡Marchando! ¿Algo para comer?Coming up! Anything to eat?
✅ “Un café con leche, por favor” = perfect - natural and polite
💡 Tip: In Spain, people often order with “¿Me pone…?” (Could I have…?). It sounds more natural than “quiero”.
Why Spanish is different
Tú vs usted
Tú with friends and people your age, usted with elders and in formal places. Lina tells you which fits the scene.
Real life, not textbook
Tapas bars, markets, the metro, family Sunday lunch — not just "the cat is on the table."

Spanish questions
Is Spanish hard?
It's one of the easiest languages for English speakers: clear pronunciation and lots of shared words. Verb endings take practice — that's what conversations with Lina are for.
Spain or Latin America?
Lina uses neutral Spanish and can switch to Mexican, Argentine or Spain vocabulary when you ask.
Are there stories and podcasts?
Yes — Spanish is one of the two languages (with German) that also has stories, podcasts and the phrasebook in 2Lingua.
Can I learn for work or travel?
Yes — hotels, restaurants, meetings and doctor visits are all scenes you can practise.
