The SOAK feed: a cook from De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina with tappable Spanish subtitles below the video

Nobody learns a language from a textbook. You pick it up by hearing real people, every day. SOAK brings real México to your phone, always just at your level.

How it works

A little México, ten minutes at a time.

Four things happen every time you open SOAK.

01 · Watch

Real Mexicans. Real life.

Cooks, travellers, storytellers and street interviews, picked so you already know most of the words.

The SOAK feed with word chips
02 · Tap

Tap a word. Keep it.

The meaning appears instantly, with its base form, and the word is saved. Nothing to type, no lists to manage.

03 · Remember

It comes back right on time.

Just before you'd forget a word, SOAK asks if you remember it. Then you hear it again, from someone new.

04 · Grow

Always at your level.

Every video shows how much of it you'll understand. As your words grow, so does the feed: food, travel, stories, music.

FAQ

Questions.

Something else? Visit support.

Is SOAK really free?

Yes. Watching is free with no limit: the feed, Explore, series, music, word meanings and English translations. SOAK Pro adds unlimited saved words and the practice tools, for $59.99 a year (with a 7-day free trial) or $9.99 a month.

Do I need to know any Spanish?

No. SOAK starts by showing you the Spanish you already know, then a 3-minute check finds your level. Beginners get a "Start here" series, and the feed gets more native as your words grow.

Why only Mexican Spanish?

Because it's the Spanish most learners will actually hear, from Mexico City to Los Angeles. Mixing accents and slang from five countries makes listening harder. SOAK does one accent, properly.

Where do the videos come from?

From Mexican creators on YouTube, played through YouTube's own player, unaltered. Every clip credits the channel and links to the full video. Creators can learn more or ask to be removed on our creators page.

How does SOAK help me remember words?

Every word you tap is saved and scheduled with a memory model (FSRS). Just before you'd forget it, SOAK asks if you remember, then plays it again in a new sentence from someone new.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. SOAK is coming to iPhone first. Leave your email and we'll tell you when other platforms are ready.

How do I cancel Pro?

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then SOAK. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date.

What do you do with my data?

We use it to run SOAK and to make it better. We don't sell it and there are no ads. You can delete your account in the app at any time. The full story is in our privacy policy.
