Your two AI coaches

Meet Camila and Andrés.

Pick a friend to chat with or a teacher who goes slower. Both speak Colombian Spanish, and you can swap coaches anytime.

Camila

Medellín, Antioquia

  • AI coach
  • Friend
  • Uses tú

Warm, with paisa charm: pues, ¿sí o qué?, un ratico. Many people in Medellín say vos, but Camila uses tú with you so you learn the forms that work everywhere.

«¡Hola! Soy Camila. ¿Qué más? Hoy vamos a practicar un ratico, ¿listo?»

Hi! I'm Camila. What's up? Let's practice for a little while today, ready?

Andrés

Bogotá

  • AI coach
  • Teacher
  • Uses usted

Patient and clear, a little slower, with a Bogotá accent. He uses usted, as many Colombians do, and teaches one thing at a time.

«Hola, soy Andrés. ¿Cómo le va? Hoy vamos a practicar un ratico, ¿listo?»

Hello, I'm Andrés. How's it going? Let's practice for a little while today, ready?

Camila and Andrés are AI voice coaches, not real people. Their backgrounds are made up so the conversation goes both ways, and no human is listening.

Signature expressions

Words you'll hear in Colombia.

Your coach uses them in conversation and gets you saying them out loud. Every variety of Spanish is real Spanish; these are just the ones people use in Colombia.

¿Qué más?
What's up? How's it going?
The everyday greeting. Among friends: ¿Qué más, parce?
Parce
Buddy, friend
Short for parcero. Very common in Medellín.
¿Me regala un tinto?
Can I get a black coffee?
¿Me regala…? is a polite way to order. It doesn't mean free! Un tinto is a small black coffee.
¡Qué bacano!
How cool!
Also ¡qué chévere! and ¡qué nota!
De una
Sure, let's do it
Instant agreement: “right away”.
¡Qué pena!
Sorry! / How embarrassing!
Not “what a shame”: it's how you apologize or excuse yourself.
Listo
OK / All set
Agreement, or “done”. You'll hear it everywhere.
Con mucho gusto
My pleasure
The warm Colombian reply to gracias.

How they say it

  • Clear and steadyConsonants are pronounced clearly and the pace is calm, especially in Bogotá, so it's a comfortable accent to start with.
  • The paisa melodyIn Medellín the intonation rises and falls, with pues at the end of a sentence and ¿sí o qué? to check you agree.
  • Usted, even with friendsMany Colombians use usted with family and friends, not only strangers. In Bogotá and Boyacá you'll also hear the warm sumercé.
Who it's for

For people who want to talk, not just tap.

Trips to Colombia

Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena or the coffee region. Practice the taxi, the café and the market before you land.

«¿Me regala un tinto, por favor?»

Long stays and remote work

A few months in Medellín? Get used to ¿qué más?, listo and usted before your first week.

«¿Dónde queda un buen café para trabajar?»

Partners, family and friends

Talk with the people in your life who speak Colombian Spanish, in the words they use at home.

«¡Qué alegría conocerlos!»

How it works

Short conversations, out loud.

Headphones in, phone in your pocket. No typing, no flashcards: you speak, Camila listens and answers.

  1. Start a 5-minute conversation

    Camila asks about your day, or plays a role, a barista or a taxi driver, and waits until you've finished your thought.

  2. On a roll? Extend to 10

    Keep going for five more minutes. When you slip, you'll hear «Yo lo diría así…» and you try again.

  3. Take the 20-minute challenge

    Ready to stretch? Go for one longer conversation and see how far your Spanish goes.

After every conversation you get a written recap: the verbs you used, the fixes to say again (Dilo otra vez) and a challenge for next time. Your mistakes come back later in a quick spoken review.

What you'll practice

Real moments, set in Colombia.

A few of the lessons on your learning path, adapted to Colombian Spanish. Each one has five target words that light up as you say them.

  • Un tinto, por favor

    At a café in Medellín: ¿me regala un tinto?, ¿grande o pequeño? and ¿para tomar aquí o para llevar?

  • En el restaurante

    Lunch in Bogotá: the menú del día (soup, a seco and a fresh jugo) and asking for the check.

  • En el mercado

    A fruit stand at the Galería Alameda in Cali: lulo, maracuyá, granadilla, guanábana and their prices.

  • En taxi y en metro

    A taxi from the Bogotá airport: the address, the fare and ¿primera vez en Bogotá?

  • En el hotel

    Check in at a small hotel in Cartagena: your name, nights, breakfast and check-out time.

  • En la droguería

    Say what hurts and ask for something at the pharmacy, which in Colombia is usually a droguería.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my coach a real person?

No, your coach is an AI, not a person. Camila and Andrés are AI voice coaches, powered by advanced AI voice technology. Their backgrounds are made up so the conversation goes both ways, and no human is listening in. That also means you can make as many mistakes as you like, at any hour, with zero judgment.

Like any AI, your coach can occasionally get something wrong. If an explanation sounds off, ask again or check it in the reading tools.

Does “¿me regala…?” mean it's free?

No! In Colombia, ¿me regala un tinto? is just a polite “can I have a coffee?” in a shop or café, and you pay as usual. Your coaches use it, along with usted, which many Colombians use even with friends and family.

Will people outside Colombia understand me?

Yes. The grammar is the same everywhere, so you'll be understood in any Spanish-speaking country. Only some everyday words and sounds change, and your coach points them out when they come up.

Can I switch to another Spanish later?

Yes, anytime. Go to Ajustes (settings) and choose another Spanish or another coach: Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Spain or neutral Latin American. It's the same plan and the same price whichever Spanish you pick.

I'm a total beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. When you start you choose beginner, intermediate or advanced, and your coach adapts: slower, simpler Spanish and English help for beginners; richer topics and fewer hints as you improve. Just say «más despacio» or «¿en inglés?» whenever you need to.

What do I need? Does it work on iPhone and Android?

A phone with an up-to-date browser (iPhone or Android), headphones with a microphone (any earbuds work), and an internet connection. You can add Paseo to your home screen so it opens like an app. No app store needed. It also works on a laptop.

What's free, and what's in Pro?

Free: all the books, the daily news, the music lessons and the learning path, plus 20 minutes of conversation with your coach so you can try it. No credit card.

Pro adds voice minutes every month: 300 on the monthly plan (about 10 minutes a day) or 200 on the yearly and founder plans (about 7 a day), with teacher mode, recaps and spoken review. Choosing your Spanish is included in every plan.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings in the app at any time. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again. The free voice minutes don't need a credit card, so there's nothing to cancel if you're just trying it.

Thinking of another Spanish?

Same app, same price. Switch anytime in Ajustes.

Your next walk could be in Colombian Spanish.
