Why I built Oye

Six years of giving up on Spanish. Then I built the app I needed.

I’ve been a language learner my whole life. I took French to B1 and stalled. I took Russian to B1 and stalled again. With Spanish I was determined to go all the way to fluent, and for six years I kept stopping.

Every attempt went the same way. A new app, a new textbook, a streak I swore I’d keep this time. A month or two later the drills had gone stale, real Spanish still sounded like a wall of noise, and I’d quietly give up. Again.

What I never ran out of was time on my phone. Hours of scrolling, every single day. So I stopped fighting it and built exactly what I needed: a feed of real Spanish from real shows and real people, where every word is one tap away the moment I don’t get it, and the words I save come back as flashcards with the original audio.

That’s Oye, and it changed everything for me. Every day I get constant, immersion-like input, the kind you’d only get living abroad, plus the colloquial Spanish no textbook ever taught me: the slang, the shortcuts, the way people actually talk. My Spanish has skyrocketed, and for the first time in six years I haven’t stopped. I open it for the clips, not out of guilt.

I built Oye for everyone who’s started Spanish more times than they can count. This time, keep scrolling.
