Hablá: Argentine Spanish

Hablá teaches the Spanish you hear on the street in Buenos Aires — not the textbook version. Real lunfardo slang, rioplatense sayings, voseo grammar, and the hand gestures porteños use instead of words, all built from authentic Argentine usage and organized into flashcard packs you can work through daily.

What makes it different from a generic Spanish app

Every speakable card is read aloud in a real Argentine accent, not a generic Latin American text-to-speech voice. Every gesture card shows real filmed video of the gesture, not a cartoon or emoji. Tap a card to flip it, swipe to move to the next, and mark "Got it" to track what you've actually learned — with a "hide cards I know" toggle so review time stays focused on what's left.

900+ flashcards across 31 topic packs, including:

- Lunfardo — traditional porteño slang about money, trouble, and each other - Voseo Grammar — the River Plate's distinctive "vos" conjugation, explained - Gestures & Body Language — real filmed video for gestures that carry more meaning than words - "This, not that" — Unlearn the generic vocabulary they taught you in Spanish class to sound like a true porteño - Truco and Truco Signs — the card game every Argentine grows up playing, plus the secret signs partners use to talk across the table without words - El Mate and El Asado — the vocabulary behind Argentina's two defining rituals, from cebar to punto de cocción - Gauchismos — the language of the gaucho horseman, straight out of Martín Fierro - Criollo Wisdom, Sayings, Character, Compliments — the proverbs and personality words that color everyday conversation - Plus Fútbol, Money, Love & Relationships, Politics, Prison slang, Gen Z slang, Boomer slang, Work, School, Friendship, Travel, Famous Places & Figures, Countryside, Customs, Tango, Kids & Parenting, and more.

Built for real learners, not just tourists.

Whether you're moving to Buenos Aires, studying abroad, or just tired of sounding like a textbook when your friends are speaking lunfardo, Hablá teaches the castellano Spanish you'll hear on the streets of Buenos Aires.

Read explanations in your own language.

The app's interface — and every card's explanation — is available in English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, so you can learn Argentine Spanish without needing to already read fluent English.
