Why straight A+ Spanish students still can’t speak
When I first started teaching Spanish, I followed the traditional playbook: grammar drills, conjugation charts, endless worksheets. That’s all I knew. But something never felt right. I’d hand out quizzes on stem-changing verbs and watch even my A+ students freeze when asked to actually speak. They could memorize rules, but they couldn’t use the language. And honestly? It broke my heart. I remember thinking, “I know, kiddo. I don’t make the rules.” Well—now I do. Six years ago, I left the...

Why we don’t expect perfect Spanish from your kid....
Our students don’t come in scared to speak—they come in excited to learn. And that’s not luck—it’s intentional. From day one, we create a space where kids feel safe, seen, and successful. No grammar drills. No vocab lists. Just stories, movement, laughter, and connection. When kids enjoy the process, confidence grows—and the speaking follows naturally. And they do speak! Our students regularly post short videos, read their comics aloud, and participate in monthly speaking challenges. It...
It starts with 7 skills no one talks about—until now.
This email comes to you with a whole lot of love, Reader—and some truths no one else seems to say out loud about language learning. But if you want your kiddo to TRULY speak another language—a skill they’ll carry with them for life—we need to have a real chat. Here’s the deal: I’ve spent 20+ years teaching myself three languages (spoiler: I’m not perfectly fluent yet). I failed Spanish at 14 and thought, “No way am I ever going to speak another language.” Fast forward: I earned a Master’s in...
My kid won’t speak Spanish because....
To the mom who keeps telling herself, “My kid won’t speak Spanish because we don’t live in a Spanish-speaking home,” this is for you. We’ve got your back 👇 Here’s the wild truth about language learning: It’s not all about your current circumstance. 👉 Just because a child lives in a Spanish-speaking home doesn’t mean they’ll automatically speak Spanish. 👉 And just because your home is English-speaking doesn’t mean your child can’t learn Spanish fluently. What matters most? 💙 Consistency 💙...

6 years in—and we still do THIS first
Reader, our online school turns SIX today! 🎉 It has me reflecting on all the growth and changes that have happened—for the better—but one thing has always stayed the same: 👉 We prioritize speaking first. Always. Six years ago, it was just me, teaching Spanish, French, and Italian—sometimes in person, sometimes online, and sometimes to toddlers! But I knew something was missing in traditional systems… so I followed my gut and left the classroom. Fast forward to now? We’re a full online school...
Shhh… this isn’t how schools usually teach Spanish.
