What if speaking Spanish felt more like play than practice?

What if, for one evening, you could stop worrying about grammar, stop translating every sentence in your head, and simply... enjoy speaking Spanish?

Because here's the thing:

Most people don't struggle with Spanish because they don't know enough words.

They struggle because they're afraid to use the words they already know.

Especially if you’re an introvert or an overthinker.

You replay every sentence before saying it.

You worry about making mistakes.

You end up staying quiet.

I know that feeling. 

And after more than 15 years of teaching Spanish (and being obsessed with modern board games), I discovered something.

When people play, something changes.

They stop trying to speak perfectly.

They start speaking naturally.

That's exactly why I’m hosting Spanish Game Night.

• July 30th
• 8:00 PM (Madrid/CET)
• Online
• Completely free
• Beginner friendly

Come experience for yourself how modern board games can help you speak more, think less, and actually enjoy using your Spanish. Find all the details here: https://ele-ludico.com/sesion-de-juegos/

I now this gets asked constantly but the answers seem to shift every year as new stuff comes out, so I wanted a fresh thread.

I'm moving to Barcelona soon, want to prioritize speaking over reading/writing and genuinely cannot afford a subscription right now.

Over the past few months, I’ve been helping students online from absolute beginners to advanced learners reach their unique goals, and I’ve really enjoyed the experience. As a native speaker 🇻🇪, I'm completely comfortable guiding you wherever you are on that line. (I've also taught English in person for over a year, but I don't do that anymore)

So, if you’ve been looking for a bit of extra help and want to do some 1:1 sessions, just let me know. I’d be happy to put together some custom practice for you. Send me a message if you're interested!

Hola! Soy Lucía 😊

I have a lovely online Spanish community which I am really proud of and I want to share it with you. I see students (Aventureros) speaking Spanish every day! 🌎💬

We run group speaking classes and a variety of weekly online activities. You'll get a weekly workbook and interactive revision activities, so there is structure to your learning and plenty of things to practise in our speaking classes throughout the week 📚✨

ANNNND there's a library of games 🎮, a self-paced beginner course 🚀, and many other resources...

But most of all, what makes it such a lovely community is the wonderful bunch of Aventureros from all over the world who are speaking Spanish every day in the community feed. They're sharing Spanish and Latin music 🎶, things they've learned, useful resources, and just sharing their lives and getting to know each other 😊

So you never need to feel alone on your language-learning journey ❤️

If you'd like to know more about me or the community, send me a message! I'm the only teacher there, so we'll get to know each other, and you'll soon be making friends and finding study buddies while learning Spanish 🤗

If you want to learn Spanish, I can get you there. I have literally had thousands of students!

I'll leave a couple of reviews from within the community below:

¡Hola!

I've created a Youtube channel for my project: ELE Lúdico. Here's my latest video: https://youtu.be/Q1RfKEVxQIg

I combine my passion for board games with Spanish teaching to create engaging learning experiences. While playing, students learn new vocabulary in context, practice communication, and develop fluency in a fun and natural way.

I'll be posting videos with game recommendations and gameplays entirely in Spanish, using comprehensible input. Whether you're a board game enthusiast, a Spanish learner, or both, these videos offer an engaging way to expand your vocabulary and improve your listening comprehension while enjoying great games.

If you join my newsletter, you'll get access to the transcription, lists of useful expressions and related games: https://ele-ludico.com/retos/

Let me know what you think!

Learning vocab in a haphazard way as not sure what to focus on

Are the frequency lists of common words a good place to start learning vocab?

I noticed Wikipedia has a frequency list and wondered if that was any good ?

I live in Canada so TTS on Kobo isn’t available and neither is Read Along on Audible. I’m looking for apps that can fill this space. I would prefer free but would pay if the app is worth it. Being able to import content would be nice but also just having a varied enough library within the app would be fine. Hoping to find suggestions. Thanks!

That's how I felt when I arrived in the US, even though I had been studying English in Spain for over 10 years.

If this is your case, you understand a lot, you’ve studied, you know things… But then in real situations you end up using Google Translate, or just waiting (and hoping) for the other person to switch to English.

I think it’s more about the fact that most of us practice in very “safe” ways… And then real life just doesn’t feel like that at all.

At some point, you kind of need to get out of that comfort zone and just try. Say things imperfectly. React. Figure it out as you go.

In my case, I'm an introvert, so it doesn't come as natural to me as it may to others...

That’s actually why I started running Spanish sessions through games. Because when you’re playing, you stop overthinking so much. You just speak, react, laugh, get things wrong… and keep going.

And it feels way closer to real life than a typical class.

I called this sessions JUGAR PARA HABLAR and I also prepared interactive materials so participants can learn the game beforehand, practice some of the most relevant structures and become familiarized with the vocabulary they'll need for the game.

I'm opening up spots for some upcoming sessions at the end of April/beginning of May. We’ll be playing a game where you have to guess a secret word, but someone in the group already knows it and is trying to blend in (or maybe that's you...). So you have to ask questions, read the room, improvise… all in Spanish. 

If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck or too dependent on translating everything, this might be a nice way to shake things up.

Let me know if you want to know more about this.

I wanted to post this for people who are serious about improving their Spanish and feel like they need more than apps or occasional lessons.

I created Spanish Fluency Club to give learners more real speaking practice, more live interaction, and more structure than most people get on their own.

Inside the community, members get:

• 25+ hours of live classes every week
• classes with native Spanish teachers
• weekly 1:1 consultations
• a 90-day roadmap
• real conversation practice
• support and accountability

It’s for all levels, and no, you don’t need to attend every class. The idea is to give people a lot of opportunities to practice, so the more you show up, the more you get out of it.

We’re offering a 7-day free trial right now and keeping the group relatively small so the experience stays strong.

If you want to check it out, here’s the page:

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below or send me a dm!

Right now we have 36 members who joined just this week.

They’re showing up to daily coaching calls, meeting 1:1 with native Spanish speakers, and following our 90-day roadmap to seriously improve their Spanish.

This is what I’ve poured myself into — connecting Spanish learners with native speakers and giving them the kind of support, structure, and repetition they actually need.

I created Spanish Fluency Club for people who are tired of apps, random lessons, and scattered studying that never leads to real confidence speaking.

This is a 90-day live coaching experience built to help people actually speak and understand Spanish in real conversations.

Inside Spanish Fluency Club, you get:

• 25+ hours of live classes every week
• native Spanish teachers
• daily live coaching for the next 90 days
• daily 1:1 consultations with natives
• real conversation practice whenever you want
• daily structure, accountability, and support

This is not for thousands of casual learners. We want a limited number of people who actually want to commit, show up, and improve fast. That’s why we’re opening this as a trial offer. If that sounds like you, take a look here:

Did you use italki, Preply, Baselang, Fiverr, or another platform?

How would you describe the experience overall?

Did you feel like it was effective, organized, and worth the money — or did it still leave some big gaps, especially when it came to conversation practice and speaking fluently?
