Be the neighbour lady to hang out with... in Spanish, and not just the new person that lives next door in Madrid.

Stop feeling exhausted because everything you do in Spanish feels like an uphill mental battle. It needn't be like that.

This is a Storytelling-based Spanish Course for Expat Ladies that live in Madrid, who are Advanced Beginners.

  • From the 2nd week of September 2026 to the end of January 2027

  • Intimate group of maximum 6 people

  • Investment: €260 / month

This is what you'll be able to do in Spanish in 4 months:

  • Tell a story from your weekend to a Spanish friend, from start to finish, mixing past tenses, without switching to English halfway through.

  • Follow conversations in Spanish, even if you don't understand every single word.

  • Tell your life story to a stranger while you wait for your delayed flight in nearly flawless Spanish (true story!).

  • When something exciting or horrible happens, explain what happened to a doctor, a landlord, or a friend, without your new bestie ChatGPT on standby.

  • Say your opinion in Spanish because you do have one.

And above all, feel normal speaking Spanish and understanding what is going on around you.

And this is how a class looks like:

  • We start with a bit of calendar talk: what is happening this week with you? Any exciting plans? Any birthdays, aniversaries or parties on the horizon? It's a bit gossipy, but we all love to talk about our plans. Very much like real-life chit chat.

  • Then we talk about what you did last weekend or what your next weekend plans are: more pasts and future practice without memorising conjugations.

  • We start with the story. One sentence and verb at a time, with lots of questions and repetition for you to absorb Spanish naturally.

    • This is where we co-create the story to make it more fun and exciting.

  • Then, you and the rest of compis (classmates) re-tell the story. First with help, then without. And as you're re-telling it, I write it down for you to read over whenever you like.

  • Last, we read together part of a chapter of a book in Spanish, for you to expand vocabulary and practice pronunciation.

  • And then I let you go about your day, because, believe me, your brain will've worked a lot.

And just like that, you'd have spoken more Spanish than what you actually thought was possible.

"As a beginner with only high school level classes 40 years ago, I am so grateful not only for her patient style, but for her ability to meet me wherever my Spanish-speaking skills might be on a weekly basis."

"... her style of teaching -through stories and conversations - is enormously effective and engaging. Top it off with repetition, patience and and obvious care for the student, and you can't find a better person to help you with Spanish acquisition."

Elizabeth McGuire - USA
