Your first lesson
Order a coffee, in Spanish.
This is the first lesson of the Spanish course, as the app plays it. Prima is the barista; you have 3 things to say, and she scores you out of 100 at the end.
Prima opensHola, buenos días. ¿Qué le doy?
She corrects in the flow. Say “una café” and she answers “Un café, claro. ¿Algo más?”, with the right form, and you say it again. "café" is masculine in Spanish, so it takes "un": un café. Every noun has a gender and the article carries it, so learn them together: un café, not "una café".
Stuck? Ask in your own language: “How do you say ‘to take away’?” She tells you (“para llevar”) and carries on in Spanish.
TipGreeting"Buenos días" until lunch, "buenas tardes" after; "buenas" covers both.
TipAsking"Quería ___" asks more politely: the past form of "quiero" softens it, like "I would like".
TipLeaving"Gracias, hasta luego" closes anything.

Questions
Can I practise Spanish with Prima if I am a complete beginner?
Yes. Choose Beginner and Prima speaks slowly, in short sentences with everyday words, and asks easy questions you can answer in a word or two. Every lesson starts with a short preview of what to say, and you can tap Slower or Say it again, or ask “how do you say…?” in your own language, whenever you are stuck.
Which Spanish does Prima speak?
Two: Latin American Spanish and Castilian Spanish. Pick one when you start, or change it any time in Settings, and Prima keeps to the one you chose.
How does Prima correct my Spanish?
In the flow: when something comes out wrong, she says it the right way in her next sentence and you say it again. An example from the first lesson: say “una café” and she answers with “un café”. "café" is masculine in Spanish, so it takes "un": un café. Every noun has a gender and the article carries it, so learn them together: un café, not "una café".
How long does it take to learn to speak Spanish?
The US Foreign Service Institute, which trains diplomats, puts Spanish at about 24 weeks of full-time class, around 600 hours, for an English speaker to reach a professional working level. Nobody needs that much to order a coffee or to hold a first conversation: speaking grows by speaking, a few minutes out loud every day.
How much does it cost to practise Spanish with Prima?
Free: 10 minutes of live speaking on your first day and 3 minutes a day after that, the whole course and 50 text messages a day, with no card needed. Pro: $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year for 10 minutes a day and unlimited text chat, and a first subscription starts with 3 days free. Cancel Pro any time.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Prima Speak runs in your browser: open primaspeak.com in Safari on iPhone (iOS 15 or later), in Chrome on Android or on any computer, allow the microphone, and talk. You can add it to your home screen like an app.
