You've DREAMED of the vibrant mercados in Mexico City, the beaches of Colombia, the tapas bars of Barcelona.
But will you connect with these places or just pass through them?
The difference? Speaking Spanish.
Let's be honest, you could rely on translation apps or English-speaking tour guides.
But then you'd miss:
- The joy when a local lights up at your effort
- The hidden gems only unlocked by real conversations
- The confidence to go off-script and off-grid
- The cultural respect that comes from trying, not being perfect
"Robin is great, funny and easy to get along with! She makes it feel like you're talking with a friend who has an amazing lesson plan to learn Spanish!"

"I learned so much in a short amount of time. There are different learning techniques, by video, text, audio, workbook, daily challenges, all this made it fun and interactive. The program allowed me to get super comfortable with this new language. I can now write texts, read books and have simple conversations in Spanish."

After taking this program I feel that I have a solid foundation and a better understanding of the Spanish language. My pronunciation and listening skills have improved dramatically."

Eliana is amazing! With 5+ years of experience as teacher for for professionals and travellers, her classes are designed to be 100% practical and interactive. I firmly believe that the best way to learn is through immersion and active participation, so each session is filled with dynamic activities that facilitate natural language learning. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident using Spanish in everyday and professional situations.
"As a travel addict with a passion for connections, languages and creating opportunities, I had to find a way to help others in their language journey. Speaking and learning four languages has taught me the journey to fluency inside out.
I have had good and bad teachers, who showed me how to inspire and what not to do. I know how important it is to interact with the language, stay motivated and enjoy the process. The latter is so important to stay consistent and motivated.
My goal is not just fluency - I want you to feel confident, happy and fulfilled. You deserve to be that badass explorer you aspire to, wherever you are or will be!
I truly believe languages open worlds, doors and souls and this is why I hope to help you find those everyday joys in your next trip or home away from home - the joys given by being able to connect deeper with others, nature and yourself.
To your next adventure and Spanish journey!🥂

This course was specifically designed for busy people. Daily challenges take just a few minutes, and you can download materials to review during commutes or waiting times. Students who complete this course within the 90 days timeframe spend an average of 3.5 hours per week total.
Free apps lack personalized feedback, community support, and carefully sequenced travel-specific content. Our students consistently report that they wasted months on apps before finding real progress with this structured approach.
The goal isn't perfection, it's connection. Even basic Italian used respectfully opens doors to experiences that remain closed to tourists who don't try. Italians appreciate the effort more than you know.
For the student who wants hands-on support
For the independent learner who just needs the roadmap.
