Real conversations. Real confidence.
Most language courses teach you grammar rules and vocabulary lists, then leave you frozen when it’s time to actually speak. The Taller de Conversación is different. Every session is a live, guided conversation with a native Latin American Spanish teacher who knows exactly how to help Spanish students reach fluency.
The topics
You talk about real, culturally-relevant topics, make real progress, and leave every class feeling more confident than when you arrived. Everyday communication. You’ll practice new vocabulary, apply the grammar structures you learned before, and authentic Latin American Spanish expressions in every session.
Boost your listening and speaking skills!
This workshop consists of 16 sessions. You’ll work on:
- Fluency and pronunciation: speak more naturally and confidently
- Intermediate vocabulary: collocations, verbs conjugations in the different past tenses, and idiomatic expressions
- Real-world topics: discuss trending news, current events, and social issues happening around the world.
Here’s what you’ll learn
The topics
No warm-up weeks, no passive listening. From your first session you’ll be discussinge interesting, culturally relevant, and useful topics for everyday communication.
Vocabulary and grammar
Every conversation topic comes with carefully chosen vocabulary grammar structures that appear naturally in context. You learn by using the language, not by memorizing rules.
Some of the topics include famous cultural expressions, music, traditions, social issues, the environment, traveling in Latin America, famous public figures, etc.

- Speaking with reasonable fluency on familiar topics
- Handling most everyday situations in Spanish
Not Sure About Your Level?
No problem! We offer a free placement assessment to determine exactly where you are. This way, we can make sure you’re in the right class for your goals, whether that’s starting with a foundational conversation class and progressing to the workshop, or jumping straight in.
We offer packages of 8 or 16 classes. However, you can take a trial class first to see if you like the topic choice and methodology before you decide to enroll in the course.
