Which best describes your current Spanish ability?

I’m a beginner. I only know words.

I've learned the basics, but speaking is so hard.

Small talk is now possible but only in present tense.

Using past tenses in my speaking is a struggle

The more tenses & structures I learn, the slower speaking gets. I'm overthinking everything!

Puedo mantener conversaciones espontáneas sobre muchos temas

What type of learning do you prefer?

I want to learn with live classes to practice speaking

I prefer to learn on my own and study independently

The classes must be in-person. I don't want to learn online.

When are you available to attend live classes?

My schedule is flexible.

If the classes are 1-2 hours a week (daytime), I can make it work.

I am ONLY available classes in the evening or weekends.

It looks like we have an availability conflict...

At this time, we only only offer live classes from Mon-Fri (daytime), however, we do have online courses that can be studied independently.

I'm not interested in a program without live classes.

Which of these are challenges you are facing with your Spanish?

I reply on a translator app, it's okay, but awkward

ALL OF THE ABOVE

How quickly would you like to improve those areas of your Spanish?

This is a top priority -> I want to start ASAP!

It's important → But I can’t commit until next month.

It's for fun → I’m learning for general interest.

Casual → I’m not really committed to learning.

"The First Course That Finally Made Spanish Click"

Previously I had started a couple of online beginner courses without much successas the grammar and verb tenses were so confusing which led to frustration and loss of interest.

The course is set up for continual review, listening and speaking skills. I have gained more confidence to speak Spanish by taking this course. I highly recommend this course to anyone!

"The Program That Took Me From Knowledge to Real Conversation"

I had taken several other Spanish courses previously and gained a lot of vocabulary and grammar; however, when I spoke Spanish, I was not conversational.

With this program, I was quickly able to master the connector words and common vocabulary that I needed to finally start speaking.

“When I Realized This Type of Spanish Was SO Desperately Needed, I knew I had to be the one to create the course”

Hola. My name is Amy Whitney, and like you, I am an expat who had to learn Spanish as an adult. And trust me when I say that I completely understand how hard it can be to learn.

For over 14 years, I tried Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, taking private lessons, and even travelling to different Spanish-speaking countries to ‘be immersed’… but nothing worked!

It wasn’t until I started focusing on how people speak in real-life that things started to make sense and finally stick and I became conversationally fluent with just ONE YEAR.

As I was living in Mexico, I started to notice people who genuinely wanted to learn Spanish, but they were struggling to get traction, even after living in Mexico for years.

This is when I saw the real problem.

NO ONE is teaching the type of Spanish we need as people LIVING in the Spanish speaking world…

But beyond that, it was as if was looking in rearview mirror at my own Spanish journey and I saw a better, easier, and more effective way to teach the Spanish.

Most courses are teaching a type of ‘general’ Spanish that teaches you a little bit of everything in hopes that one day, if you stick with it long enough, you will finally learn what you need. This is completely backwards!

People learn Spanish to communicate, and they need a course that aligns with their goals. And this is why our approach is different.

We focus in on teaching MEXICAN SPANISH and they type of Spanish you need to thrive as someone who is LIVING in the Spanish-speaking world.

Every lesson is carefully designed to teach you the RIGHT words, phrases, and structures for your current level and ability. Nothing extra.

By removing the unnecessary details, our students start speaking quickly, can immediately use what they’ve learned and make amazingly fast progress without feeling overwhelmed.

And this is why so many of our students, say they feel ‘understood’ and that they feel they’ve found a course that is going to get them speaking Spanish with confidence, even those who have struggled for years.

If you are ready to learn conversational Spanish and to start speaking, interacting, and having FUN practicing yoru Spanish with the locals, I would be delighted to show you ANYONE can learn Spanish with the right approach!
