Question 1

What is comprehensible input?

Accepted Answer

Comprehensible input is language you can mostly understand — slightly above your current level. The theory (Krashen’s input hypothesis) is that we acquire languages mainly by understanding messages, not by memorizing rules. HablaCore gives you that input with instant support for the words you don’t know yet.

Question 2

Is HablaCore free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can start reading, watching, and practicing immediately with no signup — an anonymous account is created automatically so your progress is saved. You can add an email later to keep it.

Question 3

How is this different from Duolingo?

Accepted Answer

Duolingo teaches through gamified exercises on its own content. HablaCore lets you learn from real Spanish you actually want to read or watch, with tap-to-translate and spaced repetition built around your personal vocabulary gaps.

Question 4

Do I need to be at a certain level?

Accepted Answer

No. Because every word is one tap from its meaning, even beginners can engage with real content slightly above their level — which is exactly where acquisition happens.
