Sound familiar?

"¡Buenos días! ¿Qué tal? ¡Qué calor hoy, eh!"
"…um… sí. Sí. Yes. Hot."

You understood every word. You just couldn't get a sentence out in time.

You've put in the work. You know the grammar, you've used the apps, and you can read any menu.

Yet everyday small talk still feels stressful. The moment a Spanish speaker says "¡Buenos días!", your mind goes blank.

You don't have a Spanish problem — you just lack practical speaking practice. And if learning to speak fluently truly matters to you, don’t do it alone. I created this program to help you hold short, friendly chats with total confidence.

Is this for you?

This is for you if…

  • You've put in the years, but you still freeze

    You know the grammar and recognize words on paper, but your mind goes blank when a Spanish speaker talks to you.

  • Your understanding is way ahead of your speaking

    You can read menus and understand videos, but getting sentences out in real time feels stressful.

  • You avoid everyday interactions

    You hesitate at the checkout, the café, or with neighbours because you're afraid of getting stuck or causing embarrassment.

  • You're tired of vocabulary apps and AI tutors

    You don't need another screen exercise — you just want to practice natural conversation with a real person.

If you recognized yourself in any of these, this program was built for you.

How it works & what to expect

A calm, structured space designed for real practice.

  • Live 90-minute sessions on Thursdays

    9:00 – 10:30 AM Costa Rica
    11:00 AM – 12:30 PM New York · 4:00 – 5:30 PM London

    Plenty of time to learn, process, and speak without ever feeling rushed or put on the spot.

  • Small groups (6 people max)

    Don’t do it alone. Practice with 5 other learners your age, guided live.

"I should have done this sooner — Great experience!"

This was my first time to attempt to speak in Spanish with others and I'm so delighted I took this first step. Carolina made it very comfortable to go at my own pace and was super helpful in guiding me when necessary. I was in a small and friendly group and we not only learned a great amount but it was great fun all the way along. Do this and you won't have a single regret!

"This is the only way to learn to speak Spanish!"

For the last 25 years, I have tried—and failed—to learn Spanish using a variety of techniques. I tried every "Learn Spanish in Two Weeks" book, video course, and adult education class. Nothing really worked for me, and I would inevitably give up. […] It's easy to waste years on entertaining apps like Duolingo that only get you 10% of the way there, but if you want to make real progress, Carolina will help you get there.

"A great way to learn to speak Spanish"

The discussions were a lot of fun and I was able to learn a lot. Carolina was very helpful in guiding the discussions and encouraging us to participate. She corrected us at times but it was gentle. She continued to remind us that the discussions are open and we should speak Spanish as comfortably as we could.

Comments left by viewers on my channel.

I have just found your channel and you are talking directly to ME! I have literally spent thousands of dollars, and decades trying to learn español… I’m now 78 and I have tried just about every app, program, book and online tutoring that you can name.

Paco, 78 · YouTube comment

We have soo much content — YouTube, podcasts, Dreaming Spanish, Duolingo — and we think the more content we consume, the more we’ll know. But the problem isn’t knowing the info, it’s actually using it in a conversation. It would be like watching videos about working out but never actually going to work out. Would you be any stronger?

Questions you might have

My Spanish isn't great. Is that a problem?

Not at all — as long as you have some basics: you can read simple sentences and recognize common words. This isn't a beginner's grammar course. It's speaking practice for people who have already studied and want to finally use it.

Will I have to speak in front of other people?

Yes — gently, and in a group of six at most, all at your level. That's the whole point: speaking out loud is the only thing that removes the fear. Nobody is corrected harshly and nobody is put on the spot.

What does it cost, and when does it start?

The first group starts Thursday, October 8, 2026 (4 Thursdays: October 8, 15, 22, 29). We meet from 9:00 to 10:30 AM Costa Rica time (11:00 AM to 12:30 PM New York · 4:00 to 5:30 PM London). The regular price is USD 197; everyone on this list gets the early-bird price of USD 149. You'll get the full details by email before deciding anything.

Does joining the list commit me to anything?

Nothing at all. You're saying "this sounds interesting, tell me more." No payment now, and you can leave the list with one click at any time.

Four weeks from now

Someone says "¡Buenos días!" in the park — and this time, you answer.

That's the whole goal. Nothing more complicated than that.
