Private lessons
You choose the subject: a trip, your family, the phrases you need at work. Your tutor brings the plan and the corrections.
Book a private lessonConversational Spanish for adults in San Antonio
Fifty-minute private lessons and small conversation clubs with Lucia Torres and four tutors, in person or on Zoom. The first chat costs nothing.
- $55 for a private 50-minute lesson
- $20 for a conversation club session
How lessons work here
Most of the hour is spent speaking Spanish. Your tutor keeps the conversation going and tells you what to fix while the sentence is still in the air.
-
You talk most of the hour
A tutor keeps the conversation moving and corrects as you go, so you are speaking from the first ten minutes.
-
Clubs stay small
The conversation club is $20 a session and runs in a group, so everyone gets time to answer and to argue.
-
In person or on Zoom
Meet at a table in San Antonio, or join from your kitchen. Same tutor, same fifty minutes.
-
A free placement chat first
Twenty minutes with a tutor to find your level and the right starting point. Book it through our scheduling page.
Habla began with one tutor and a kitchen table
Lucia Torres grew up in Monterrey and moved to San Antonio with a master's in applied linguistics. She still teaches every week, and four tutors teach alongside her.
Every hour is planned for one person
Tell your tutor what you need Spanish for, whether that is a hospital shift, a sales call, an AP exam or a weekend in Mexico City, and the hour gets built around it.

Four ways to learn with Habla
Conversation club
A tutor leads the hour and everyone speaks. It suits people who understand Spanish better than they speak it.
Join the club
Spanish for healthcare
For nurses, clinic staff and anyone who sees Spanish-speaking patients. We rehearse the intake questions and the instructions you give every day.
Book a lesson
Spanish for business
For sales calls, interviews, site visits and emails. Bring the documents you actually work from and we will use those.
Book a lessonAP and high-school Spanish support, and English as a second language, run at the same rates and the same hours. Ask about them in your placement chat.
Lessons move at the speed you speak
Bring the situation you want to handle in Spanish and we will rehearse it until it stops being frightening. Grammar arrives when it helps you say the thing.
A goal for the hour
Every lesson has one thing you should be able to do by the time you leave the table.
Your own material
Shift handovers, sales calls, school homework. We work from what you actually have to deal with.
Five tutors, one way of teaching
Lucia teaches, and four tutors teach with her in San Antonio. Everyone plans a lesson the same way: a goal for the hour, a lot of speaking, and corrections you can take home.

Student stories
Progress you can hear
I could order lunch in Spanish by my second month. Now I take the clinic's Spanish-speaking patients on my own.
We rehearsed my sales calls before every trip. My accent is still mine, but people understand me now.
Practice at home
Four things to do between lessons
Listening
Watch something you already know the story of
Ten minutes a day, with the subtitles in Spanish, is enough to hear how a sentence really lands.
Vocabulary
Write ten cards, use three of them
Ten words you met this week. Say three of them out loud before your next lesson and they will stay.
Real life
Order in Spanish once a week
The taqueria on the corner counts. Short, low-stakes conversations are where the language sticks.
Practice
Find someone to talk to
A colleague, a neighbour, a friend's abuela. An hour outside the lesson is worth two inside it.
The placement chat is free and takes twenty minutes
You talk to a tutor, you find out where your Spanish is now, and you leave with a plan for the lessons that follow. Book it through our scheduling page.
