Learn Honduran Spanish in Tegucigalpa

Honduran Spanish uses vos with friends and usted with elders and strangers. OK is cheque, a mate is a maje, and everyday things come from the pulpería on the corner.

In Solvelingua you move to Tegucigalpa, find a home in Centro Histórico, and learn Honduran 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.
