Practice Spanish with friends: a plan that keeps you both going

Studying alone is where most learners stall. A friend who expects you on Thursday keeps you going. Here is a simple format that works, at any level, and where an AI tutor fits into it.

Pick one fixed slot a week

Thirty minutes, same day, same time: a video call, a coffee, a walk. A fixed slot beats "let's practise sometime" because nobody has to organise it. Put it in both calendars and treat it like any other plan.

Give the half hour a shape

Ten minutes each: your week. What you did, where you went, what went wrong. It is past-tense practice without calling it that.
Ten minutes: one topic. Plans for the weekend, a film, a strong opinion. Pick it before the call so you can look up two or three words.
Two minutes at the end: the slips. Each of you names one or two mistakes you heard. No more than two, or it stops being fun.

Correct each other without nagging

Interrupting every sentence kills the conversation. Agree on the rule up front: no corrections while someone is talking, a short note of anything you notice, and the two worst slips at the end. If you are unsure whether something is right, check it afterwards in the free Spanish grammar checker, which shows the fix and the reason.

Different levels? Change the roles

If one of you is ahead, the stronger speaker asks the questions and keeps their own sentences short; the other answers in full sentences. Swap for the topic slot. A beginner and an intermediate learner can share a call, as long as the stronger one remembers it is practice, not a performance.

Make it a little competitive

Play Spot the slip, a free ten-round quiz with no account, and send each other your scores. It is two minutes, and the wrong answers are the Spanish that says something you did not mean.

Where an AI tutor fits

A weekly call is where you use your Spanish. The daily part, where you build it, works better on your own. That is what Juntos is for: every day a 2-minute warm-up on your own slips, a lesson of about 15 minutes and a short call about your day, with every answer graded out of 100 with the fix and why. Turn up to the weekly call having done the work, and you will notice the difference by the third week.

Do the daily part with Juntos

A plan for every day, every answer graded with the fix and why. 7 days of everything, no card. The grammar courses and games stay free after that.
