About the language
Why Spanish matters for the next generation.
Spanish (español, also called castellano) is one of the world's great connector languages — the official tongue of Spain, twenty Latin American countries, and Equatorial Guinea, and a first or second language for more than 500 million people. For a child growing up in the UK, learning Spanish opens a door from Madrid to Mexico City to Buenos Aires without ever changing the alphabet.
The language has a relatively gentle learning curve for English speakers: spelling closely matches pronunciation, the vowel system has only five clear sounds (a, e, i, o, u), and the grammar — though gendered and conjugated — is consistent and well-documented. Linguistic Quest will teach a hybrid of Castilian (peninsular) Spanish and neutral Latin American Spanish so children meet both worlds.
Spanish is the next language we're shipping, with native-speaker reviewers in Madrid, Barcelona and Buenos Aires. Sign up to be notified the moment the first themed vocabulary set goes live.

For parents & carers
How to learn Spanish together at home.
Watch a familiar children's film with Spanish audio and English subtitles — the simple vocabulary and emotional cues do a lot of teaching for you.
Learn nouns with their article (el / la) from day one — it's much easier than re-learning gender later.
Count and label everything in the kitchen in Spanish for a week — uno plátano, dos manzanas, tres galletas.
Celebrate the day they ask for water (agua) instead of pointing at the tap — that's the language switching on.
A note from us: Spanish-speaking cultures often double up on greetings — '¡Hola, buenos días! ¿Qué tal?' is just the opening. Children pick up the full exchange (and the kisses on the cheek that go with it) quickly when they hear it modelled at home.
