Ok, so feedback from me.

It asks me for my level; I'm half way through this audiobook (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Next-Steps-Spanish-Paul-Noble/dp/B0...), and have listened to the book before it a number of times, so I'd say I'm between beginner and intermediate. I think you could do better than a "what level are you, pick from 3 options" and throw you straight into a chat - ask some basic Spanish questions, and then try and figure out where the user is from there.

Next I chose Blanca from Barcelona, and she said an awful lot of words and I understood very little of them, so I think I'm not ready. Half the grammar lessons have both a Spanish and English explanation, and half don't.

I'll keep the feedback coming, but I'm on a train now and the questionable internet is not good enough for an actual conversation.

(not at all relevant but I work for Devyce, from the YC S22 batch!)

Also a YC company who's actively hiring. We had two new joiners start last year, we have another two lined up for March/April and we have one open position (with more to come later in the year if all goes well). I'm "in charge" of hiring at Devyve (YC S22), and by "in charge" I mean that I'm acting as the TA team because, you know, startup. I don't mean "in charge" as in I make all the decisions on who gets hired - we do that as a team.
