You may have taken Spanish in high school and never really learned to speak it. Or maybe you have been using language learning software or language apps but still don’t feel confident you’ll ever be fluent.
Something is missing, and you can feel it.
That’s where we come in.
We have created a learning method built on the conversation and process of learning, NOT on the content itself.
No more memorizing phrases or looking up conjugations.
How? We use short, real-time conversations to teach you a new language.
Just like when you learned your native language, you used small bits of real conversation with real speakers. We use this same learning method to teach you a new language — once and for all!
WHO ARE WE?
Conversa Spanish Institute™ was founded in 2018 by Inés Ruiz and a team of experts in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language.
