How it works
A method built for real conversation
Practical, community-centered Spanish, tailored to your level. The live class is for speaking; short activities on our platform before and after it do the rest. Plan on about two hours a week in total.
Before class
The week's practice opens 6 days before class. Listen to the new words and expressions, match them with their meaning, and say the key forms out loud. They also arrive in your flashcards.
Your class
Speaking tasks every class, and role plays in everyday situations with neighbors, coworkers and friends.
After class
Review the class slides, finish the after-class practice (some weeks, a chat with your AI conversation partner), and a one-minute check-in. Flashcards bring words back right before you'd forget them.
Tiny groups
Just 4–6 students, so you get personalized feedback and lots of speaking time.
Level up every 12 weeks
Each level ends with a capstone: a longer role play that shows what you can do. No written exam.
Start at the right level
Complete beginners start at Ready, Set, Spanish! 1. Already speak some Spanish? A friendly 10-minute chat places you in the right level.
Levels
Ten levels, from first hello to relaxed conversation
Five stages with two levels each. Every level lasts 12 weeks, so you level up about every three months.
1–2 Ready, Set, Spanish!Everyday essentials CEFR A1
By the end, you can: greet neighbors, shop and order food, ask for directions, talk about your routine, family and home, chat about the weather, explain basic health needs, and ask for small favors.
3–4 Finding Your Spanish VoiceStories and plans CEFR A1 to A2
By the end, you can: tell what you did last weekend or on a trip, describe how things used to be, sort out a problem with a service, make plans and reservations, give simple instructions, and share tasks.
5–6 Letting Spanish FlowHopes, feelings and small surprises CEFR A2
By the end, you can: say what you hope, doubt and feel, explain small accidents without blaming anyone, give kind feedback, set conditions, and take part in school and community conversations.
7–8 Stepping into FluencyTricky conversations and many accents CEFR A2+, B1 exposure
By the end, you can: negotiate a deal, calm a disagreement, say no nicely, talk about past decisions, pass on what others said, and follow speakers from Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Spain.
9–10 Speaking Spanish with FinesseRelaxed, spontaneous conversation CEFR B1, B2 exposure
By the end, you can: banter and tell a good story, joke and tease, understand slang, talk movies and fútbol, argue for fun, give advice between friends, and make a toast.

Capstones and progress
Week 11 of every level is a capstone: a longer role play that brings the whole level together, like a full Saturday of errands or a dinner with friends. Week 12 is a recovery week to polish anything you need before you level up.
Your teacher looks at five things (getting it done, grammar, vocabulary, politeness, and keeping the conversation going) and scores each from 1 to 4. A 3 means you've met the goal; mistakes are fine as long as people understand you. Each week also ends with a one-minute check-in on the platform, and your can-do checklist shows when you're ready for the next capstone.
