"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!

To get started, complete this 1-min quiz so we can give you an instant recommendation for lessons that will be perfect for your level and learning preferences.
