01 How it works
Step 01
Start with an assessment
A short adaptive test places you precisely on the CEFR scale — A1 through C2. No guessing, no wasted time on lessons below or above you.
Step 02
Follow your personal path
Rumbo builds a structured curriculum around your level and goal. Grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing — woven together in the right order.
Step 03
Track real progress
XP, level milestones, section exams — everything is designed to show you how far you've come and what's next. Progress that actually means something.
02 What's included
Most apps give you fragments. Rumbo gives you a system — from your first word to fluency, with the structure to get there.
Curriculum
A real learning path
11 structured sections from A1 to C2. Grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing lessons that build on each other — not random content you pick through.
Grammar
24 grammar units, properly taught
From ser vs estar to the subjunctive — every unit explained clearly, practised in context, and tied to real usage. No rote drills, no guesswork.
Media library
Spanish in the wild
120+ videos, podcasts, TV shows, and articles — filtered by your level, your dialect, and the grammar you're working on. The bridge from textbook to real Spanish.
Flashcards
Vocab that actually sticks
Spaced repetition flashcards tied to your lessons. Review what you've learned, surface what you're forgetting, build lasting vocabulary.
Section exams
Prove what you know
Adaptive exams at the end of each section — MCQ and fill-in-the-blank, scored and explained. The honest measure of whether you've actually got it.

05 A note from the founder
Built by
David Latchman
Building Rumbo
“I didn't build Rumbo because I wanted something for myself. I built it because nothing else actually worked — and I thought I could make something that did.”
I've been learning Spanish on and off for a decade. In Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru — and what struck me every time wasn't just the language itself, it was how alive it feels in each place. The rhythm, the slang, the culture woven into every sentence.
I tried every app, every method. Nothing stuck. Not because I wasn't committed, but because none of it was built to actually get you there. No real structure, no clear path, no honest sense of progress.
So I built Rumbo — a system designed from the ground up to take you from where you are to where you want to be. Structured, warm, adult, and honest about what learning actually takes.
The founding waitlist isn't a marketing list. It's the first people who get in at launch, help shape what gets built next, and have their feedback land directly with me. A rare chance to influence something from the inside — I'd love you on board.
Free at launch. Founding members lock in £9.99/mo forever — before it rises to £12.99. And a real chance to shape the product from day one.
