Learn Spanish at Bolboreta Spanish School
For intermediate Spanish students who have learned Spanish but still lack confidence in speaking.
A weekly method to achieve fluency in Spanish without complications, through constant and effective practice.
Speak Spanish with confidence: practice, connect and enjoy learning.
Linguistic research shows that 50% of intermediate Spanish learners have a solid knowledge of grammar, but fail to apply it fluently in speaking and avoid participating in conversations for fear of making mistakes and being judged. This is known as the “passive learner syndrome”.
more quickly and naturally, without thinking so much about words or grammatical structures.
being able to convey your ideas, sense of humor and emotions as you do in your mother tongue.
in group or informal conversations without feeling out of place. You want to understand jokes, idiomatic expressions and cultural references.
and feel confident speaking Spanish, you want to learn to see mistakes as part of the process.
But the reality is different:
I know how you feel because I have experienced it too.
When I started learning English at school, high school and then university, I felt I had a good level.
But the first time I traveled to the UK, I was frustrated that I didn’t understand the locals or speak naturally.
Years later, learning German from scratch in Switzerland was even more challenging.
In the beginning, even buying bread or asking for directions were huge challenges. I was insecure, frustrated that I couldn’t find the words, and afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes I kept quiet because it seemed easier than trying to speak and making mistakes.

More than 300 students have learned Spanish with me…
I have helped Spanish students get to know Spain better with my language immersion programs.

My thing is to listen to my students, understand their needs and help them find the most effective way to learn, all with a good dose of patience, humor and creativity.
Hello!
I am Ana, Spanish teacher and Official Guide of Galicia.
My training in Tourism and Hotel Management allowed me to connect with people from different parts of the world and to work in the tourism sector for years.
In 2011 I moved to Switzerland without knowing a word of German. After learning the language and living abroad, I decided that I also wanted to share my culture and help others master Spanish.
During my online German classes with my teacher Melanie I understood what I really wanted to do: to teach and guide others in their learning of Spanish. That’s why I trained as a Spanish teacher at centers such as Instituto Cervantes and International House.
My classes are close, relaxed and fun, with a touch of creativity so that you feel at ease and enjoy the experience of learning Spanish.
I also offer language immersion programs in Galicia (Spain), where you can practice the language while enjoying the Galician culture.
Because learning Spanish should be an experience that makes you feel part of a culture, not a chore.
To get the most out of the club, you must have an intermediate (from level B1) or advanced level of Spanish.
You will be able to communicate with me in each class and through the private platform of the classes.
Approximately three hours a week: two hours for classes and one hour for exercises.
