Spanish through song — for expats

Learn Spanish the way you actually live it

Songs built around real life — the store, the café, the market. Pick it up like a local, not a textbook.

Our promise to new expats

A new city shouldn't feel silent

Songstead is brand new — built by people who’ve fumbled through a foreign checkout line and wished the words would just stick. Here’s what we commit to.

01

Sing it before you say it

Melody makes phrases impossible to forget. You’ll catch yourself humming your next sentence before you need it.

02

English right after, every time

No guessing. Every lyric repeats in English so you always know exactly what you just sang.

03

Built for real errands

We start where your life happens — the checkout line, the menu, the front desk — not chapter one of a textbook.

Sing → Repeat → Remember

Learn the language of your errands, one song at a time

Each Songstead track walks you through a real place — the store, a restaurant, the library. You sing the phrase in Spanish, then it echoes back in English. By the third chorus, it’s yours.

At the store

Voy a la tienda

I’m going to the store

At the restaurant

Quiero la sopa, por favor

I’d like the soup, please

At the library

¿Dónde están los libros?

Where are the books?

Every phrase, in Spanish then English
