Learn Peruvian Spanish in Lima
Lima's Spanish is clear and easy to follow, with every s pronounced. Friends say tú, elders get usted, and you'll hear chévere, bacán, al toque and plenty of ya pues.
In Solvelingua you move to Lima, find a home in Barranco, and learn Peruvian 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.
