Ages 4–9

The years when true fluency is still effortless – and an accent indistinguishable from a native speaker is still possible.

Why Spanish, why now

Set your child up to be a global citizen.

Spanish opens your child's world to over 600 million speakers across more than 20 countries – at work, in travel, in friendships, and in everyday life in the U.S. Learning it young gives them more than a second language. It gives them a wider lens on the world, and the confidence to move through it.

Travel that goes deeper

Order, negotiate, joke, and connect like a local – not like a tourist with a phrasebook.

Career options that expand

Healthcare, law, business, tech, education – every field rewards the people who can speak with twice as many clients.

A native-like accent, only possible young

Pronunciation is the one skill adults rarely recover. Kids absorb sounds effortlessly that adult learners spend years chasing.

A lifelong cognitive edge

Bilingual children show stronger memory, focus, and problem-solving – benefits that compound through school and beyond.

Pricing

A complete system, built for flexibility.

Monthly plans that fit your calendar. Schedule classes whenever works best for your family, and keep the same age-appropriate content and live native teacher throughout.

How it works

From booked to speaking Spanish in one sitting.

1

Book your $1 class

Pick a time on our calendar. Takes about 60 seconds – just $1.

2

Meet your teacher on Google Meet

We'll get to know you and your child, learn your goals, and put together a personalized plan.

3

Your child starts speaking Spanish

In the same session, your child jumps into a real 1-on-1 lesson and speaks Spanish from the very first minute.

Kids who felt it

“She didn't think she could speak. Then she did.”

Parent Austin
Austin
My son was nervous about speaking Spanish to a real person. His teacher kept it easy, laughed with him when he stumbled, and by the end of 30 minutes he was actually holding a small conversation. That was not what I expected from a $1 class.
Parent Emily
Emily
The $1 class exceeded our expectations. Since then, it's clear our daughter is more confident. She even loves going to Mexican restaurants and talking with the waiters. We're so glad we found this.
See it for yourself

Book a $1 class and see it for yourself.

The best way to understand how it works is to experience it. We'll walk you through the program, your child takes a real 1-on-1 class with a native teacher, and we wrap up by answering anything you want to know.

1. We meet the parent

We start with a short call to learn about your child and walk you through how the live 1-on-1 classes and age-appropriate content fit together.

2. Your child takes a demo lesson

Your child jumps into a real class with a native teacher – not a sales pitch, an actual lesson so you can see the system in action.

3. We answer your questions

After the lesson, we hop back on with you to share what we saw, talk through next steps, and answer anything still on your mind.

Just $1

Book your $1 class and see for yourself.

No pressure. Your child takes a real 1-on-1 class with a native teacher, and we'll answer any questions you have.

Booking sooner is best. If you do decide to enroll, it'll be easier to claim your ideal time and day slot. The most popular days and times tend to get claimed quickly.

Book Your $1 Class

Takes ~60 seconds. You'll get a confirmation email with the Google Meet link.

Common questions

Everything parents ask us.

What if my child is shy or nervous?

That's most kids on day one. Our teachers are trained to warm them up gently with games, visuals, and low-pressure prompts. It's totally normal for the first few minutes to be quiet – by the end of the $1 class, most kids are speaking words back on their own.

What if my child doesn't know any Spanish yet?

Perfect – that's exactly who our program is built for. Classes start from zero and everything is visual, so no prior Spanish is needed. Your child will hear and repeat their first Spanish words in the very first lesson.

Do I need to be in the room during class?

For ages 4–6, we especially recommend it — being nearby helps with the tech and keeps them engaged. For ages 7–9, sometimes it's necessary and sometimes they do great on their own; you can decide what works best for your child.

What device works best?

A laptop or desktop with a webcam and Google Meet is ideal. Tablets work too. Headphones help but aren't required.

Do we need to have the camera on?

No — you don't need to have the camera on. Whatever makes you and your child the most comfortable is completely fine.

What happens after the $1 class?

Zero pressure. If it's a good fit, you pick a plan and we'll book your child's ongoing classes at your ideal time. If it's not, we part ways as friends – no card on file, nothing to cancel.

How does scheduling work?

Scheduling is flexible. Each month you're charged, your plan gives you a set number of class credits (for example, 4, 8, or 12). When you book a class, one credit is deducted. We don't hold classes on major U.S. holidays, but outside of those we generally have plenty of availability so you can pick times that work for your family.

How fast are they going to be learning Spanish?

Your child will be saying words and phrases in Spanish from the very first class. Most kids are speaking Spanish back to the teacher within the first 30 minutes.

Giving back

We donate 10% of all profits to children's charities in Colombia.

Every class your child takes helps support kids in the community where our teaching began.
