VocabloLearn Mexican Spanish,
one glance at a time.
Vocablo puts real, conversational Mexican Spanish vocabulary on your iPhone Home Screen, Lock Screen, iPad, and Mac desktop — so you learn passively, all day, without opening an app.
Free to start · iPhone, iPad & Mac · No account required
Vocabulary widgets, everywhere you look.
Widgets make learning ambient. A new word — with its meaning, an example, and cultural notes a tap away — meets you at a glance all day long.
- iPhone Home Screen & Lock Screen. Full-size widgets plus compact accessory widgets keep Spanish in view from your first glance of the morning.
- Mac desktop. Vocabulary sits beside your work — Vocablo is a fully native Mac app, not a port.
- Multiple widgets, side by side. Each one rotates through a different topic you're studying.
- Synced by iCloud. Your streak, learned words, and settings follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Real Mexican Spanish, not textbook Spanish.
Most Spanish apps teach a generic, region-less Spanish. Vocablo's dictionary is different:
- 550+ curated words and phrases, hand-picked for everyday conversation in Mexico.
- Frequency-graded difficulty — you learn the words people actually say first, ordered by real-world usage.
- Cultural nuance included — like why "ahorita" can mean right now, in an hour, or politely never.
- Native pronunciation with a Mexican Spanish voice, spoken on demand.
13 practical topics:
- 🔤 Essentials
- 🎨 Colors & Numbers
- 🏠 Daily Life
- 🍽️ Food & Drink
- ✈️ Travel & Directions
- 👥 Family & Relationships
- 🧠 Emotions & Mind
- 💼 Work & Money
- ❤️ Body & Health
- 📅 Time & Calendar

Practice that actually sticks.
Games and streaks turn passive exposure into recall, built from the very words your widgets have been showing you all day.

- Streaks & automatic progression. Daily practice streaks and curriculum advancement keep you moving from beginner words toward natural vocabulary.
