Learn Belizean English in Belmopan
Belmopan speaks Caribbean English with British spelling, a touch of Kriol (weh di go aan?) and the odd Spanish word, since half the country speaks it. Breakfast is fry jacks.
In Solvelingua you move to Belmopan, find a home in Market Square, and learn Belizean English 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.
