In 90 Days, Your Child Could Actually Speak Spanish

I’ll never forget teaching something on a Monday… Then giving the quiz on Friday— And watching my students completely forget everything we’d just covered. They “knew” the vocab. They aced the worksheet. But could they use the Spanish in real life? Nope. That’s when I realized: this system isn’t working. It’s not enough to memorize colors and numbers and call it language learning. So I changed my approach. I ditched the drills and started teaching through stories—the way we naturally learn to...

don't just not just study, use it!

Hi there, I’m a certified language teacher with a Master’s in Education, but here's what nobody's telling you... But here’s the truth: credentials don’t mean much if kids aren’t using the language. I used to assign vocab lists and grammar drills. The kids memorized for Friday… and forgot it by Monday. So I flipped the script—focusing on stories, real-life connection, and Spanish that sticks. Now? My students speak with confidence and actually enjoy learning. One family with siblings in our...

Get the Inside Scoop: How Kids Use Language Naturally in Class

Here’s the secret: everything we do is designed to get kids talking. Every story, every game, every moment—it’s all about creating chances for natural, confident communication. Our stories aren’t just stories—they’re conversation starters. Over on our teachers’ Slack channel, we share student wins, and this one had me laughing out loud… A student was reading Book 2 in our series—Octopus Island—where Salt, Pepper, and Sunny head to a tropical island for a surf competition. In the story, a...

This is why I love what I do ❤️ (and how your kiddo can benefit too)

Yesterday reminded me exactly why I’m so passionate about what we do. I had the chance to push into a private school that’s using our easy-reader book series to teach Spanish to middle schoolers—and I’ll be going back soon as a guest teacher for 3rd–5th grade! The students had only read the first two chapters of The Word Thief (our first book in the series), and yet… we were having real conversations. No grammar talk. No vocab drills. Just natural back-and-forth in Spanish. These kids had...

“We’re not starting from scratch again, right?"

Hola Reader!!!I’ve been chatting with parents during meet-and-greets, and a few themes keep coming up: 🧩 You want classes that build and grow—no more starting from scratch every week. 🙅 You’re done with classes that feel too kiddy or just surface-level. 🙌 You want your child to actually use Spanish confidently.

You’ve lived this. Endless verb charts...

¡Buuuuuenos días Reader! 🌞 Can we talk about how traditional schools treat grammar like it’s the main event of language learning? Spoiler: It's not. You’ve lived this. Endless verb charts. Noun gender tables. Pages of grammar rules drilled into your brain... and yet, you still couldn’t speak the language. It’s wild how far you can get with just 20 verbs. Honestly, even less. I know because I’ve done it. I’m fluent in 3 languages, conversational in 6+, and I didn’t get there by diagramming...
