Currently, Grammarly supports only the English language. With that being said, Grammarly recognizes a number of spelling, grammar, and punctuation differences in American, British, Canadian, and Australian English.

Unfortunately, no. Although it is 2018, the Spanish language does not have an equivalent grammar checker like Grammarly is for English. Language Tool at www.languagetool.com. Another issue to be aware of with the spellchecker is that if you have a spelling mistake in a sentence, this can confuse the grammar check.

LanguageTool is currently the best free online Spanish grammar checker for those who can understand explanations in Spanish. SpanishChecker may be better for beginners and useful for intermediate Spanish learners, as the interface and explanations are in English.
