I’m a native Spanish speaker from Madrid, Spain, and I’ve taught Spanish for thousands of hours to learners all over the world. I’ve created courses, books, audiobooks, podcasts, and videos, all designed so you can learn Spanish that real people actually use.
My mission
Learning a language shouldn’t be frustrating, boring, or slow. Too many courses focus on endless grammar rules or useless vocabulary, and that’s exactly what I wanted to change. I believe:
- You learn best when the lessons are clear, fun, and practical.
- You should speak Spanish from the very first lesson, even as a beginner.
- Everyday Spanish, the kind used in real conversations, is the most valuable thing you can learn.
Whether you’re learning on your lunch break, on your commute, or while walking the dog, my lessons fit your life.
Why my method works
I started learning languages as a teenager and quickly realised that traditional lessons often miss the mark. Over the years, I developed techniques that help learners:
- Put words together instinctively, even as a beginner.
- Remember and use vocabulary quickly.
- Master Spanish verbs without dread.
- Speak with a natural accent.
I design every lesson so you can build real confidence, not just memorise rules. Students tell me they finally feel comfortable speaking Spanish in contexts that used to feel impossible.
