Phrase Passport

About Phrase Passport

Just enough Spanish for your holiday, learned by ear.

The short version

Why it exists

Most language apps want you for life. Most people just want to order a coffee, pay the bill and say thank you.

Most apps are also built on reading and spelling. If reading is hard work for you, they are hard work too.

Phrase Passport was made by [your name] at Lanternfish Media, a small independent UK publisher. [Keep or remove:] I am dyslexic and I find languages hard, so I built the app I wanted for myself.

How it teaches

You can switch on the spelling, or a sound-it-out line, if they help you. You never need them.

The Spanish

The app teaches the Spanish of Spain. Most of it is understood in Latin America too.

[Say who checked the Spanish, once it has been checked.]

The voices and pictures

The Spanish voices and the pictures were made with artificial intelligence tools. The voices are not recordings of real people. The English is read by your own device's voice.

How it is paid for

The app is free. It has no adverts and does not track you. One day we may add links to useful things for a trip, such as a travel SIM. If a link earns us money, we will say so clearly beside it.

Your privacy

There is no account and nothing to sign up for. Your progress stays on your own device. See the Privacy page.

Mistakes and ideas

If a phrase is wrong, a voice sounds odd, or something confused you, we want to know. Email [contact email]. Tell us which picture it was.
