En Línea
Post, share, follow, and message — and say it all in Spanish, out loud.
The textbook verbs are publicar (to post), compartir (to share) and seguir (to follow) — but street Spanish runs on different phrasing: subir una foto beats publicar in everyday speech, liking a post is darle like or darle a me gusta, and people say las redes, dropping "sociales" entirely. Even "follow me" splits by region: sígueme in Mexico, seguime in Argentina's voseo. In the En Línea lessons there are no flashcards or drills — you learn this vocabulary by using it in a real conversation about your own feed.
Below: the words lesson by lesson, the Spanglish locals actually type and say, the false friends to dodge — and a way to rehearse it all out loud.
The warm-up pack
The words you'd actually type — and say — about your feed, your DMs, and the password you just forgot.
01 · What you say instead of publicar
Voy a subir una foto.
I'm going to post a photo. (Subir una foto beats the textbook publicar in everyday speech.)
Publicar is correct and nobody says it. Subir is what actually comes out of people's mouths.
02 · How you ask to be followed
¿Me sigues? Sígueme.
Do you follow me? Follow me.
Both directions of the same request, and both land as completely normal things to say out loud.
03 · The regional swap
Seguime en Insta.
Follow me on Insta. (Argentina — voseo swaps sígueme for seguime.)
Same request, one letter of grammar different. Voseo shows up everywhere once you're listening for it.
04 · Liking something
Dale like si te gustó.
Like it if you liked it.
Darle a me gusta is the dictionary phrase; dale like is what you'll actually hear.
05 · Posting to your story
Postealo en historias.
Post it to your story.
Postear isn't 'proper' Spanish, but it's said constantly across Colombia and Venezuela — you'll be understood instantly.
06 · Asking for the link
Pásame la liga del video.
Send me the link to the video. (Mexico — la liga instead of el enlace.)
El link works everywhere too. La liga just means you sound like you're actually from there.
07 · Getting someone to message you
Mándame un mensaje.
Send me a message.
Plain, useful, works in every country — the phrase you reach for before you learn any of the slang.
08 · The DM, not translated
Escríbeme al privado.
Message me in DMs. (Colombia — al privado, or al inter, for the DM.)
El DM also just gets used as-is. Al privado is the version that sounds native.
09 · What you ask before sharing your wifi password
¿Cuál es tu clave de Wifi?
What's your Wifi password? (Clave is what people actually say for contraseña.)
Contraseña is textbook-correct. Clave is what gets asked at every house party.
10 · The moment you realize you've been hacked
Me hackearon la cuenta.
My account got hacked.
Contraseña is always feminine — la contraseña — even talking about a man's password. This is the sentence you'll want ready if it ever happens.
11 · When the phone won't stop buzzing
Me llegó la notificación.
I got the notification.
Say it exactly like this, or drop into slang and just say 'me llegó la notif' — both are completely normal.

The part no drill site can do
Olivia
Your vocabulary teacher for this pack
No flashcards, nothing to memorise off a list. In the En Línea lessons you talk, and Olivia treats you like a friend scrolling next to you: what did you see on las redes today? You tell her — someone subió una foto, you le diste like, a stranger sent un mensaje you had to bloquear. She asks how much time you really spend on which aplicación, and the vocabulary of your actual digital life comes out of your mouth, in Spanish, until it's just how you say it.
Blank mid-sentence and nothing bad happens — she waits. That's the practice, without unnecessary judgement.
Finish the 5 lessons and En Línea is yours — earned, not given.

Quick answers
Officially darle a me gusta — literally "to give it a like". In practice everyone says darle like, and in Mexico also mandar like: dale like si te gustó.
Sígueme — the informal imperative Mexicans use constantly. In Argentina and Uruguay the voseo form is seguime, as in seguime en Insta.
The dictionary word is el enlace, but in daily speech el link is used far more. Mexico has its own word: la liga — pásame la liga del video.
La aplicación, or just la app — everyone understands both. Careful with the false friend: aplicar means to apply (for a job), not to be an app.
La contraseña — always feminine, never contraseño. In everyday Latin American speech you'll hear la clave just as often: ¿cuál es tu clave de Wifi?
