It’s hard because you freeze.
You overthink.
You panic.
And when it’s finally your turn to speak,
your mind goes blank.

But guess what?

No one actually cares
about your mistakes
but you.

to speak Spanish without the most common mistakes

Mónica Bernabé Pérez, online Spanish teacher at BlanBla

I want to start speaking for real

I always freeze when it’s my turn to speak…
but will I actually be able to have a real conversation on my next trip to Colombia?

I understand so much, but when I try to respond, my mind goes blank…
will I be able to sit at a café in Madrid and just talk without panicking?

I’m tired of smiling and nodding because I don’t know what to say…
will I finally be able to joke with my girlfriend’s family in Argentina this Christmas?

I hate the sound of my accent…
will I ever speak without feeling embarrassed?

I avoid speaking because I don’t want to make mistakes…
will I be able to order food, ask questions, and stop overthinking every word?

I get stuck translating everything in my head…
will I ever speak without mentally building the sentence first?

I feel like everyone is better than me…
will I ever feel like I belong in the conversation?

I’ve started learning before and quit…
will this time actually be different?

I’m scared people will switch to English the second I speak…
will I be able to hold the conversation long enough that they don’t?

I don’t just want to “know Spanish.”
I want to use it.
To connect.
To live in it.

Will I actually get there?

YES

The answer

is always

SÍ

Spanish is ugly at first

Awkward. Broken. Frustrating. Embarrassing.

It only gets better
when you’re not alone.

This is not a course.
This is not a method.

Not an app.
This is not another promise of “fluency”.

This is an entry point
into Spanish as it’s actually lived.

Messy. Human. Used.

This is the first step

What Students Say About Their Online Spanish Lessons with me

I absolutely love Monica’s teaching style as it makes it so easy to learn Spanish in a practical way. By telling stories and using news, ads and music we’re able to easily process the language to learn to understand what’s being said. Personally I find this way of teaching to be easily digestible. Highly recommend this school if you’re looking to learn Spanish!

Nicola Roque

I always enjoy Monica's classes - she is a highly qualified Spanish teacher and examiner, she has an interesting approach to the language through current affairs, films and culture, and she is very supportive, especially through moments when progress feels slow.

Robyn Owens

Monica is the gentlest and most patient Spanish teacher I have ever had. She provides guidance when I need it, but she never makes me feel bad for not knowing how to express myself. I highly recommend BlanBla for anyone looking for Spanish classes!

Robyn Patrick

Monica goes above and beyond for her students. She has amazing language strategies. With her you are not only learning Spanish but you also feel and breathe the language. She gives you a lot of insides and is a fantastic storyteller. I learnt so much about the culture, traditions. She teaches through movies, books, news, music and food.
