Frequently Asked Questions
Is Puerto Rican Spanish a whole different type of Spanish?
Puerto Rican Spanish isn’t a completely different type of Spanish, but it does have its own unique rhythm, pronunciation, and vocabulary shaped by the island’s culture. With the right guidance, it becomes natural—and even fun—to understand and use.
Do you offer courses or ongoing lessons?
We offer both. You can choose ongoing lessons for a flexible, personalized experience based on your goals and availability, or join a structured course with a set schedule and clear progression.
How long does it take to learn Spanish?
Progress depends on your consistency, goals, and practice outside of class, but many students begin to notice increased confidence and understanding within the first few weeks. With regular sessions and engagement, you can expect steady and meaningful progress over time.

Sherly is one of the best Spanish teachers I’ve had without a doubt. It’s nearly impossible to find teachers who can teach Puerto Rican Spanish so I am very grateful that I found her. She’s puts great effort into each lesson and is always available to help with questions outside of the class. I’ve had a few spanish teachers in the past but I’ve found her to be the most helpful, professional, and fun to learn from. She’s great with giving contextual/cultural knowledge to stuff that you can’t really find on Google or anywhere else. It’s been much easier for me to communicate with my Puerto Rican family and friends and that’s been a blessing. Also I think pricing is very fair and affordable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to level up their Spanish.
