Learn Paraguayan Spanish in Asunción
Asunción speaks Spanish mixed with Guaraní, called jopara. People use vos, greet you with ¿mba'éichapa?, soften requests with luego, and drink tereré, cold yerba mate, all day.
In Solvelingua you move to Asunción, find a home in Centro, and learn Paraguayan Spanish the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
