Which VR Headset?
Dynamic Spanish is best used with an Oculus headset.
There are currently three main Oculus headsets. This post contains affiliate links to purchase the headsets via Amazon. Thank you for using them and supporting VRlanguages.
Oculus Quest
Great for playing VR games like Beat Saber, Superhot, and Star Wars Vader Immortal.
Oculus Rift S (PC Required)
Great for playing VR games like Half Life Alyx, Lone Echo, and Robo Recall.
*The Oculus Go was sadly "sunsetted" by Oculus. We still love using our Go to explore new places and going on Dynamic Spanish Trips. Oculus and VRlanguages will continue to provide security patches and bug fixes until the end of 2022. Updates will need to be delivered using SideQuest.
Mobile VR Headsets
Dynamic Spanish Trips are available on Vimeo as 360 videos for mobile VR headsets. Here's our advice on what headset to buy.
Non-Oculus PC VR Headsets
Dynamic Spanish can be used with HTC Vive by following these instructions. If you have a different headset, please sign up for the 7 Day Trial of the VR Starter Pack and we will try to accomodate you.

How should I behave in VR
Sit somewhere comfortable but make sure you have space to stand up.
Try to be alone when you use the Dynamic Spanish app. You'll feel more confident.
Speak when spoken to. Even if you get it wrong, it's better to try and fail than not try at all.
Pause and rewind the videos if you need to. You should go at the pace that suits you.
Stand up when instructed. You need to fully engage with these lessons to really get the most out of them.
Have fun! This should be an enjoyable learning experience, so try not to get too frustrated if you're struggling. Follow our advice and you'll be speaking Spanish in no time.
