Understood In Spanish
The complete Spanish course: 280 lessons from A1 to C2, 24 graded stories, 18 conversations, a 64-verb Conjugation Gym — every lesson free, taught in 33 languages.
Language courses that actually teach.
Understood In is a family of apps — one per language — built on one idea: a course you can finish and then actually use. Real grammar explanations, speaking practice that listens to you, typed answers instead of tile-matching, and spaced-repetition review. Every lesson free, fully offline, explained in your own language.
Understood In Spanish is out now on the App Store and Google Play. French, Chinese and Italian are next.

How every course works
A course that teaches, not a game that nags
Most apps teach you to tap matching tiles. Understood In teaches you the language — the way a good course does, with the parts that make it stick.
Grammar, explained
Every lesson starts with a real explanation — the why, not just the what — with examples you can play out loud.
Speak from day one
Say each sentence out loud; speech recognition on your phone checks you and tells you what it heard. Skip any time.
Type it, don't tap it
Typed answers, word-bank building, listening dictation, fill-in-the-blank, matching and dialogues.
Smart Review
Spaced repetition resurfaces every word you have learned right before you would forget it, plus a Daily Workout of due words and your misses.
Stories & conversations
Graded readers with tap-a-word meanings and audio, and branching conversations where every reply is a choice with feedback.
Taught in your language
Lessons are explained in the language you choose — 33 languages today.
100% offline, no account
The whole course ships inside the app. Your progress stays on your phone; there is nothing to sign up for.
No hearts, no paywalled lessons
Mistakes come back at the end of the lesson until you get them. You are never locked out for trying.
