Duolingo won’t teach you to Speak Spanish.
Stop wasting time.
Stop memorizing.
Start speaking Spanish.
Learning Spanish with apps is like studying car mechanics when all you want is to drive.
Duolingo has you memorizing how the engine works:
🔧 Past tense verbs,
🔧 Grammar rules,
🔧 Vocabulary lists.
But when you finally sit in the driver’s seat (aka real conversation)…
🚗 You stall.
🚗 You panic.
🚗 You crash into “Sorry, I don’t understand.”
Let’s be honest — you don’t want to become a mechanic. You want to DRIVE.
In my classes, you skip the grammar garage.
You start driving from day one: speaking real Spanish, making mistakes (yes, that’s normal!), and getting confident fast.
Hundreds of my students have thrown away the mechanic’s manual and finally hit the road.
Now it’s your turn.
🚗 Apps teach you how to fix the engine.
I teach you how to actually drive the car — and enjoy the ride.
I teach you how to actually drive the car — and enjoy the ride.
You WILL discover:
🧠 How to understand and actually speak Spanish faster — and cheaper — in less time.
(Yes, even if you’ve been stuck in the beginner zone for years.)
❌ The biggest mistake most learners make — and how to stop doing it today.
(Hint: it’s not about verbs. It’s about obsession with perfection.)
🐦 Why I despise Duolingo (kind of)… and the crucial thing it forgot to teach you.
Spoiler: no one talks about apples in real life.
⌛ Why we waste 80% of our time and money learning Spanish — and how to stop the madness.
(Start spending your energy on what actually matters.)
🎧 How to sneak Spanish into your day — and actually love it.
Learn without “studying.” Make Spanish your background noise. Your new vibe.
🎭 How to survive conversations — even when you don’t know the words.
(There are tricks. I’ll teach you. They work. Always.)
🧏 How to train your ear to understand accents, fast talkers, and that one guy in Sevilla who never opens his mouth.
It’s a thing. And yes, you can do it.
💬 How to say more with fewer words.
You don’t need to speak perfectly. You need to speak smart.
🤡 Why making mistakes is not just okay — it’s essential.
You’ll mess up. You’ll say weird things. And you’ll finally start speaking.
Hola, soy Monica, your native Spanish tutor
👋 I learned this the hard way (over fish and chips and total humiliation)
After 14 years of English classes,
I thought I was ready.
I had passed exams. I knew the rules. I had the vocabulary.
But then I got to the UK… and I couldn’t understand a thing.
My boss spoke with a Manchester accent that made every vowel sound like a mystery.
The pub was loud and chaotic. People mumbled, laughed, shouted — and I just stood there, smiling politely, heart racing, completely lost.
That night I went home and cried.
Not because I wasn’t trying — but because I still couldn’t connect with people.
And it wasn’t my fault.
❌ I had never practiced real conversations.
❌ I didn’t know how to handle different accents.
❌ No one had taught me what to do with the language — just what it looked like in a book.
That moment changed everything.
It’s how I started designing my Spanish classes:
📌 Based on real life.
📌 Focused on connection, not perfection.
📌 Rooted in my own experience — and backed by science.
💬 I’ve listened to my students. I get it.
So many of them come to me saying:
“I’ve been using apps for months… even years…
but I still can’t understand or speak.”
Like Joan, who spent a year on Duolingo.
She could say “the apple is red” 🍎 but froze the moment someone asked her a question at a café in Spain.
That’s when I realized something:
👉 You don’t need more grammar.
👉 You need real conversations, adapted to your level.
👉 You need to speak. Even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.
👉 Book your first class today — just $10 AUD (€6)

I tell you what I don't do in my classes
My commandments:
- I don’t teach grammar. Just very basic grammar, no more than 5 minutes explanation.
- I don’t tell you boring stories. My stories are interesting, about culture, festivals, history…
- I don’t teach advance levels. Because I think after intermediate level you are ready to roll on your own.
- Yes, we speak — but with support.
You’ll get tons of comprehensible input (listening + reading you can actually understand), and that’s what really helps you speak.
- I don’t use vey complicate vocabulary. I will use the most common vocabulary and similar words between Spanish and English.
- I don’t speak or write difficult stories for you to understand. I will adapt my stories to your level.
- I don’t try you to adapt to my calendar. My classes are very flexible. You choose the moment you want to attend the classes and where.
- I don’t use boring stories from books or texts without a context. I will write my own stories for you.
- I don’t force people to speak. Every person has its own process. I support you in this process.
- I don’t lie to you. If you don´t listen or read Spanish adapted to your level, you won´t speak in 10 years.
- I don´t lose your time or mine. If you feel like the classes are not for you, or you are not learning, adiós, no hay problema.
- I don´t make you feel umcorfortable. Because you need to feel relaxed to learn.
- I don´t ask you to answer, do complicate and boring exercises. No need to suffer. You just need to listen, read and understand. That is your job. My job is to make Spanish comprehensible and help you to speak.
- I don´t use testimonials, because you can try yourself the class Why trust a strange person when you can try yourself?
