No, it is a structured, guided, assisted immersion course. You will have some assignments/resources to work with on your own time and at your own pace but the program's core consists of 3 live (face-to-face via Zoom video calls) 1 hr classes per week. The sessions vary between lessons and conversation practice sessions with our native speakers plus coaching and conversation reviews with your very own bilingual Spanish coach.

You can expect to have 4 weekly 1hr live Zoom classes scheduled around your availability and spend about 30-40 minutes a day 3 times a week, working through your self study resources.

No, this program is designed for people who want to learn to speak casual, everyday Spanish spoken on the streets of Latin America (although we also have personalized programs for professionals and specific circumstances).

This program is not for anyone who wishes to learn to write in Spanish or who is learning the language with the aim of passing an exam.

It is for you if you are committed to achieving your Spanish goals and want to get there as soon as possible!

This program was created specifically for people who want to learn Spanish for verbal communication purposes primarily.

This is a "hands on" program and 70-80% of your time will be spent learning through doing. We use a holistic approach very similar to the way babies learn their native language (based around the natural learning process of association) but altered to fit an adult's brain and lifestyle.

Apart from helping your drastically improve your conversational Spanish & fluency within the 12 weeks, our mission is to help you understand the brain's natural learning processes so you can create a brain friendly learning environment that facilitates the process and accelerates your results.

We offer a 14 day money back guarantee. If you sign up for the program and for whatever reason decide it's not for you, (within the initial 14 days of beginning the program) we will refund your money.

All you need is a stable internet connection, a quiet environment and a free Zoom account registered and installed on your device. (we can help you set up a Zoom account if needed)

Within the next 24 hours you will receive an email requesting you to book a quick 15-minute level assessment session via Zoom. Once this is complete, we will establish a start date, and work out a schedule for our initial sessions!

They are from different countries throughout Latin America - Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, etc.

You start with one native speaker for your conversation sessions and at week 5 we will add in another speaker, so you can get accustomed to the variations in speech (You'll now speak with 2 native speakers each week instead of just 1). We always match you up with speakers from the region you are most interested in, whenever possible.

You will meet with our team of native speakers 2-4 times a week to practice conversation, where they play the role of conversation partner. However, many of these conversation partners are also teachers but partake in both the lessons and conversation practice sessions.

If you're in the beginner program, you will also meet with your tutor each week and have a coaching session with Nadine every 3 or 4 weeks.

If you're in our novice or fluency program, in addition to the conversation practice sessions, you will have a conversation review session twice a month with Nadine as well as a coaching session.

All tutors and conversation partners undergo a comprehensive training course before they join our team and quality control is carried out regularly to ensure a high quality standard.

The conversation practice sessions are designed to create a safe practice environment as natural as possible but your conversation partners are still able to answer questions, help you if you get stuck and guide you through constructive correction & mirroring (much like how parents teach their babies to speak).

Once you sign up we will ask you for your general availability (if you prefer mornings, evenings, etc.) and then each week we will ask when you're available within those times so we can work around your other commitments when creating the schedules.

For the 1:1 option, we can pause the program for you at any time, if you will not be available. When you're ready, you can pick up where you left off. However, we recommend not taking off more than a week or 2 at a time, a couple of times during the program, to avoid interrupting the momentum you'll be gaining. Consistent repetition is essential for your progress.

If you choose the small group option, we will discuss it with the group and decide how to move forward. Sometimes the other participants may agree to pause the program during your time away. If not, you will still be scheduled for half of the sessions for that week, at another time that works for you. We can also send you the recordings for any sessions you miss.

Our classes are still available during the holiday season, if the student and corresponding tutor are both available. Each schedule is addressed on a case-by-case basis.

If you need time off during the holidays, that is fine. We will pause your program and you can continue once the holidays are over. If you'd like to continue with classes throughout the holidays, please let us know once you sign up and we will do our best to pair you with a tutor(s) who has availability during that time.
