Learn Mexican Spanish in Mexico City

Mexico City's Spanish is the one most of Latin America hears on TV: clear, warm and full of everyday Mexican words. People soften everything with ahorita and little diminutives, answer the phone with ¿Bueno? and say ¿mande? when they didn't catch you.

In Solvelingua you move to Mexico City (Ciudad de México), find a home in Coyoacán, and learn Mexican 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.
