LEARN SPANISH QUICKLY & EASILY
& Immediately Start Speaking in Your Everyday Life
IF YOU ARE LIVING IN MEXICO
YOU KNOW LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER HERE
Even with the Spanish language barrier, you manage to get through most interactions with lots of smiling, gesturing, and of course, your translator app.
But you want to converse with the locals, build real connections, and truly be part of your new community.
And that's why...
LEARNING SPANISH HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF YOUR PLAN
You knew it would take some time to learn a new language, but you would eventually figure it out. You're smart. You've learned lots of things in your life!
After realizing Duolingo wasn't cutting it, you decided to sign up for one of those online courses where you study by yourself, and you even tried classes with a local teacher.
No matter what you try, your progress is painfully slow and it feels like the Spanish you've picked up is not enough for your everyday interactions in real life.
Months later, you are struggling through basic conversations and often freeze up and forget words you need.
When someone speaks to you, they speak so fast that it is impossible to understand.
“I have already learned more from one class than I did from 6 years of on-again off-again Duolingo. ¡Estoy muy feliz! Thank you so much!”

HERE'S WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY
“Amy's course starts with the basic things you need to start actually speaking. I was able to speak my first real sentence in Spanish during the first class, something that Duolingo didn't help me with after 1 year, even after paying the full course! The one-on-one feel of her class has been particularly helpful.”
Monica O'Neil
Student
“I couldn't be happier with the progress I have made. I am so much more confident to speak and understand basic phrases in stores, restaurants, taxis etc. I highly recommend this course 100%!”
Heather Fischer

Hola! My name is Amy Whitney. I am a Canadian expat, and I have been living in Mexico full-time since 2016, originally in Puerto Vallarta, and now in Guadalajara.
Learning Spanish was a MASSIVE struggle for me.
For over 14 years, I was stuck at a 'useless' beginner level, despite trying Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, private lessons, immersion retreats, half a dozen online courses, and even 5-years of high school Spanish!
I knew a lot of grammar and vocabulary but when it came to real communication… It took me forever to come up with a simple sentence. And my listening ability was non-existent.
I finally had a huge breakthrough when I started to focus on conversational Spanish I could actually use in the real world.
Within less than a year, I reached an advanced level, and even more importantly, I gained extensive insights into the process of HOW to learn a language as an adult.
Seeing so many expats struggling to learn the local language was hard, especially because I knew WHY they were having such a hard time and HOW to help them. So I set out to create this course which is centered around OUR needs as expats and the situations we face daily.
Each lesson has something that you can immediately go out and use, which will keep you motivated! The classes are fun, interactive, and full of speaking practice to build your confidence quickly.
The first step to getting started is to book a call with me to understand your goals, learning challenges, confirm your level, and ensure the program is the right fit for you.
