Practise a family video call in Spanish, with an AI that grades you

An easy-level scenario on a bad connection: can you hear me, say that again, how was your week, how's work, and when are you coming to visit.

Video calls with family are where a lot of real Spanish happens for people with a Mexican partner or relatives. The topics are simple (your week, your job, the weather, when you will visit) but the conditions are not: the line cuts out, the picture freezes, and an older relative mishears half of what you say. That makes it a great place to practise the phrases for checking and repairing a conversation (¿me escuchas?, se cortó, te lo repito) as well as clear, short sentences in the present and the past.

Juntos rates "Videollamada con el abuelo" easy: the AI plays Abuelo Toño, 82, calling from Monterrey on a choppy connection. He uses tú, speaks slowly, asks you to repeat things and sometimes hears the wrong word, so you practise saying the same thing a second way. It pairs well with daily routine for your week and Future & Plans for the visit. Try it in AI Call mode: a call is the natural way to do this one.

How the AI session works

You open the Videollamada con el abuelo scenario (a choppy video call: share your news, repeat, speak up) and the AI takes the other role. In the app this scenario is rated easy, which sets the vocabulary, sentence length and pace the AI starts with. You can also choose easy, medium or hard for any scenario, so the same conversation grows with you from A2 to B2.

Every message you send is scored 0–100 for grammar, vocabulary, fit with your level and how quickly you replied. Tap the score and you see one clear piece of feedback and the specific corrections: what you wrote, what a native speaker would have written, and why. Mistakes that keep recurring are filed into your Error Bank and come back in spaced-repetition reviews.

Prefer to speak? AI Call mode runs the same scenario by voice: tap the mic, say your line, and the AI transcribes it, replies out loud in Latin American Spanish and grades your spoken turn. For a situation like this one, doing it by ear is the closest thing to the real conversation.

3 mistakes learners make here

• Te pierdo mucho. → Te extraño mucho. Perder is to lose (or miss a bus). Missing a person is extrañar in Latin America; echar de menos is more common in Spain.
• Voy a visitar a ti en diciembre. → Voy a visitarte en diciembre. Object pronouns attach to the infinitive or go before the verb (te voy a visitar). A ti only adds emphasis alongside te.
• Los domingos soy muy aburrido. → Los domingos me aburro mucho. / Los domingos estoy muy aburrido. Ser aburrido means you are a boring person; feeling bored is aburrirse or estar aburrido.
