Velocidad-AI is an open-source Spanish learning engine licensed under GPL-3.0 with twenty reference files including a Cognate Accelerator that unlocks thousands of words, a military-style Field Manual for daily practice, five real-world scenario ladders, six agent prompts, two hundred cloze exercises, and fifteen memory techniques. The reference content is CC BY-SA 4.0, fork it, adapt it, share it. No app, no account, no subscription.
