We're currently looking for fluent Spanish speakers who are also proficient in English to join a paid audio recording study.
Who we're looking for
Fluent Spanish speakers, proficient in English
Genuinely bilingual - for example, you grew up speaking both languages, lived abroad, or regularly speak both at work or home
Outgoing and comfortable speaking conversationally for extended time (up to 30 minutes at a time)
Have a stable internet connection and a dedicated external microphone (or headset with microphone)
What you'll do
You'll join an online call from your own device with 1 other participant. We'll record a natural conversation in your native language - but here's the twist: as you talk, you'll naturally mix in English words and phrases too, the way many bilingual speakers do in everyday life (for example, switching mid-sentence to an English word, or saying a full sentence in English before switching back). This is called "code switching."
Simple conversation parameters:
Roughly 1 out of every several sentences should naturally include English. Just talk the way you would with bilingual friends or family - dropping in English phrases and sentences naturally, without translating or explaining them.
Ensure you do not reveal any PII (Personally Identifying Information) about yourself or others
Avoid toxic or sensitive topics
Speak expressively! Sentence- and discourse-level prosodic variation consistent with naturalistic dialog, including pitch variation, rhythm, and intonation
Pragmatic engagement: Speech reflects conversational intent and responsiveness (e.g. natural conversational pace of turn-taking)
Example: "Fui al cine ayer con mi hermana, y honestly the movie was so much better than I expected. Después fuimos a comer algo ágil."
We want natural code-switching where English mixes into the native-language conversation — mostly single words or short phrases, with full English sentences acceptable but appearing less often.
Conversation topics can include, among others
Talking about a news event you've been following
Riffing on a topic you love, as if recording a podcast
Telling stories using fictitious names and places (no real personal/private info, please)
Discussing finance, healthcare, customer service or restaurant experiences, and/or technology
Important
Session format
Only fluent speakers are eligible to participate
2 participants per recording
Minimum 7 recordings per session
Location: Remote — recorded on your own device, from anywhere (as long as there is no background noise whatsoever)
Compensation: Paid a total of $57.60 (USD) for a recording session which lasts 3.5 hours.
If you would like to recommend a friend or a family member to have the conversation with, this can be done during the Application process.
