But don’t take my word for it…
“I simply cannot recommend Victoria more! Having not spoken Spanish for a long time, I felt very nervous about my first class and interaction with Victoria. I really had nothing to worry about, she put me at ease right away. Victoria made me feel so welcome, relaxed and comfortable in each class, she is very warm, kind, patient and incredibly supportive.
I have loved the Ya Hablo Espanol course … I am currently writing this from Spain where I have met with my Spanish friends who have even commented on how well my Spanish is coming along, that is definitely down to this course and all the input you receive from Victoria.
If you are considering this course, my advice would be just to go for it! You will gain so much within such a short time from this valuable experience. Victoria, thank you again, you are the best Spanish teacher!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My methodology is based on engaging, real life topics which encourage students to speak and express themselves.
Kindness, care, acceptance and respect are essential, as the student’s comfortability will allow them to feel safe and relaxed to speak.
Communicative approach is the main aim, as I understand a language as a means of communication, connection, link with another culture. Obviously, perfection will be happening as we communicate regularly and in a determined and enthusiastic way.
My sources for discussions are varied and so the pair work and group activities. Thus we avoid boredom, apathy and monotony.
The role of the student is always active. Students spend most of the time interacting, talking, discussing and commenting topics.
Students have access to feedback constantly.
Sense of humour is crucial to learn. Our brain relaxes, opens up and absorbs naturally the language. Moreover, it brings an atmosphere of trust and peacefulness.
We are a small and unique school where you can be sure to get individual attention. There are many, much bigger, and probably cheaper schools than ours, but I think you’ll find it hard to find better value or a more personable and friendly school. There’s only one teacher here and that’s me!
I offer a free 15 minute video intro session for everyone joining my courses, so nobody is anonymous to me. I will welcome you individually and answer your questions. You can tell me your needs and learning priorities so that I make sure they are met.
If you take the ¡YA HABLO ESPAÑOL! course, in addition to our weekly Zoom lesson, you’ll have chance to ask questions through a Whatsapp group, and through a weekly video Q/A session so I can understand your specific needs and expectations, both in terms of the language and in terms of motivation. It takes motivation and commitment to complete the course and I want to be able to help you with that.
¡YA HABLO ESPAÑOL! runs several times a year according to demand and my other workload. After registering your interest, I’ll contact you with details of the next course. Please tick the box to receive my newsletter to be sure you don’t miss out on new courses that are introduced from time to time.
If you’re asking this, you maybe shouldn’t be applying! You will need to be ready to make a commitment to stick with the course for the full 8 weeks. If, after the first week, having attended the first group session and done the preparation, you decide the course is not for you, just let me know, and I’ll give you a full refund.
But we do understand that life throws unexpected things at us sometimes. At any time, if something crops up that means you can no longer commit to the course, I will hold a space for you to re-join on a subsequent course.
NO. All the topics already come with a selection of vocabulary, common phrases or expressions, questions, linking words and even a video of Victoria’s answers (if you fancy improving your listening too), which will help you to get ready for the speaking sessions.
There are also extra written and oral texts and extra videos for you to acquire vocabulary and grammar in context.
Please let me know your concerns as soon as possible. We have clear, firm rules in Spanish with Victoria and those people who do not follow them will need to leave the community. Respect and none judgement are essential for all people to feel part of the group. Thank you!
You’re very welcome to join us! You will be committed to create your fluency and confidence (or bring it back if you have lost it) talking about familiar topics and in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. I’ll contact you to let you know the dates for the next course, bearing in mind the availability you expressed on your registration form. Being flexible about availability and being prepared to let something else go if necessary for two months will help you get the best from the course.
Please do not miss a session for this reason! There is so much to learn from the others in the speaking sessions! And you will always have something to say, as we will be dealing with topics you already know somehow.
Having said this, please, try not to let this happen more than once, as this is a short, intensive course and the aim is gaining fluency and confidence very quickly. You will need to find preparation time before each session, and maybe make a sacrifice or two to ensure you get the best from this experience.
Apart from having an intermediate level of Spanish, only one simply thing: being willing, determined and enthusiastic to improve your Spanish!
If you are an intermediate Spanish student, NO topic will be new to you. They are about family, free time activities, sports, holidays, technology, education, environment, shopping, food… But they will take you beyond your current level to a new feeling of confidence and fluency!
Every Friday you will get the three new topics that you will discuss in the following week. Thus you will be allowed some time to prepare them beforehand on your own, if you like.
You will need to be ready to make a commitment to stick with the course for the full 8 weeks. If, after the first week, having attended the group session and fully done the preparation, you decide the course is not for you, just let me know, and I’ll give you a full refund.
There are various options. During the course I will get to learn the needs and interests of the group. There is an option for me to put on a weekly session if the group wants to stay together, or have 1-2-1 lessons. After the course, you will feel encouraged to carry on improving your communication, so you are welcome to join a formal follow-on course for graduates from ¡YA HABLO ESPAÑOL!
