HOW ARE YOUR STUDENTS PRACTICING SPANISH?
Most people studying Spanish lack opportunities to practice their conversational skills with native speakers in an informal and practical setting; hence it is difficult for them to improve their level of fluency.
WHAT WE DO
We connect trained native speakers ‘Amigos’ with Spanish language ‘Learners’ who want to improve their communication skills.
We partner with universities that teach Spanish and customize our program to match their Spanish class curriculum

PROGRAM CUSTOMIZATION EXAMPLES
We customize our program based on your needs. Bellow some examples of what we can do:
FREE TOPIC CHATS
We provide Learners and Amigos with a Toolkit containing suggested topics and questions that make the conversation more fluent.
For example:
-
Family
-
Profession
-
Education
-
Home country
-
Hobbies
-
Travels
CHATS FOCUSED ON GRAMMAR
Each video chat focuses on a specific grammar structure. Amigos are trained to facilitate this learning process.
For example
Video chat 1:
Festivities
- Grammar Structure: Present
Video chat 2:
Childhood
- Grammar Structure: Past and Imperfect
CHATS FOCUSED ON A SPECIFIC ACTIVITY
Each video chat focuses on a specific activity. For example, Learners and Amigos need to watch a short-film that will be discussed during the video chat.
For example
Video chat 1:
Movie “Pájaros de verano”:
-
Watch the film and prepare 2 questions
-
Discuss questions and perspectives on the movie

TESTIMONIALS
Nina S., Learner
Language Amigo really helped me loose the fear of speaking, and made me feel more confident. I also learned it's okay to make mistakes, to not always make sense, but to keep trying and practicing.
Mark, Professor
I had worked with a larger and older competitor of Language Amigo before, with some limited success. I had a much better experience with Language Amigo because of their remarkable flexibility and willingness to customize. I plan to use them in a number of future courses.
Alejandra O., Amiga
Fue realmente emocionante, divertido y agradable hablar con personas que tienen una cultura diferente, pero con las que también tenemos muchas cosas en común.
