Spanish Conversation Circle 

You've been learning Spanish. Now it's time to actually use it.

A weekly conversation session where you practice speaking real Spanish — out loud, with real people, guided by Gabriela.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You understand Spanish fine — but the moment you have to speak, you freeze.
  • You keep saying "I'll practice more before I try talking to real people." But that moment never comes.
  • You've been studying. You've been watching videos. And your Spanish is sitting in your head, unused — because there's nowhere safe to actually use it.
  • You've posted in a Facebook group: "Anyone want to practice Spanish with me?" — and either nobody answered, or the conversation went nowhere.

That’s exactly what the Conversation Circle fixes.

 

 For intermediate and advanced students (B1–B2) who can already hold a conversation in Spanish and want to speak more, make mistakes without fear, and keep their Spanish active every week.

 

HOW IT WORKS

Every Saturday at 2:00 PM Central Time, a small group of intermediate and advanced students shows up on Zoom and speaks Spanish for 60 minutes.

No agenda. No textbook. No prep. Gabriela guides the conversation and keeps things flowing. This is your space to speak — not to be stopped mid-sentence. You talk, you make mistakes, and you keep going. That’s how fluency actually builds.

WHO IS THIS FOR

✔ You understand Spanish but rarely get to actually speak it
✔ You’re at an intermediate or advanced level (B1–B2) and can hold a basic conversation
✔ You want to speak more — without the pressure of a formal class
✔ You’ve taken courses but never had a place to just… practice
✔ You want a native speaker to hear you and give you real feedback

This is NOT for you if:
✗ You’re a complete beginner — you need to be able to hold a basic conversation first
✗ You want grammar lessons — this is conversation practice, not a class

Stop searching for someone to practice with.

Most Spanish learners are looking for two things they can never seem to find at the same time: something interesting to read in Spanish, and someone to actually talk to.

Here, you get both. Every single week.
A short article on Sunday. A real conversation on Saturday. That’s it.

🎯

Build the fluency that only comes from real, live conversation

Stop waiting until your Spanish is “good enough” — use it now and watch it grow

Keep your Spanish active and moving forward every week

Walk away from every session feeling more confident than when you arrived

Hi! I'm Gabriela!

Hi! I’m Gabriela, mother, wife and a teacher. I’m passionate about helping intermediate Spanish learners finally feel confident and consistent in their journey.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching hundreds of students from around the world. Through this experience, I noticed a pattern: many learners were getting stuck, losing momentum, or feeling overwhelmed because they didn’t have a clear path forward.

That’s why I created the Spanish Conversation Circle — a place designed to give you structure, motivation, and the real support you need to make steady, visible progress.

Every week I share an article that serves as our conversation starter — an interesting topic, story, or reflection we use as the foundation to practice together. Here, you won’t just read — you’ll speak, listen, and improve your pronunciation in a natural, pressure-free environment.

You’ll find a proven system to build your confidence, improve your pronunciation, and finally enjoy Spanish the way you’ve always wanted.

Testimonials

I love the book Club a lot, because it pushed me to read. As I start reading I notice that my vocabulary increased. It was hard for me to find books in my city, now I don't have to look for the books. Having a discussion group once a week, helped me to be able to improve my conversation. Also listening to other people speak I'm learning lots of new vocabulary. Gabriela was able to create a safe space for us to learn and speak Spanish. I would recommend book Club for everyone who is learning Spanish. Because reading plays a big role in learning new language. Thank you Gabriela for this incredible opportunity for all of us in the Club 💕💕💕

Descubrí a Gabriela hace poco más de un mes y mi español ha mejorado muchísima en este tiempo. Me gusta mucho su manera de enseñar, su manera de hablar muy clara y su entusiasmo. El método de 'shadowing' has cambiado mi capacidad de hablar y siento mucho más fluida al hablar. ¡Muchas gracias Gabriela!

When I started this class, I was very low intermediate/high level beginner and Professor Hanson really made me feel comfortable speaking by letting me move at my own pace but also challenging me. I really enjoyed the class and made sure to attend every session.

I really enjoyed following the story, week to week. Each day's readings were brief and not overwhelming at all. Professor Hanson has done a wonderful job with the story and the weekly Zoom class story discussion. In the Zoom class, I enjoyed talking with Professor Hanson and fellow students. I can go on, but I will wrap this up. I have had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and will happily join the next reading challenge.

Me uní al club el mes pasado. Disfruto la conversación con mis compañeros de clase y la maestra; esto me está ayudando mucho a mejorar mi español.

Unirme al club de lectura me motivó porque necesitaba una disciplina y una rutina diaria en mi aprendizaje del español. Me parece el único método realmente eficiente para avanzar. Antes de participar en las clases semanales por Zoom, me sentía muy tímida al hablar, pero ahora me siento un poco más cómoda y con más confianza. Es una excelente manera de vencer la timidez al hablar en público. Todo lo que enseña me está ayudando mucho, pero especialmente la técnica del shadowing, que me parece fundamental para saber dónde colocar el acento al hablar. Además, lo que más disfruto del club es su dinamismo y su dedicación para enseñarnos el idioma. Cada semana tengo muchas ganas de leer nuevos capítulos con usted. ¡Todo eso se vuelve muy adictivo! Definitivamente, vale la pena unirse a su club. Es una oportunidad increíble para aprender español en contexto, y cada alumno tiene la posibilidad de expresarse a su ritmo y por turno. Muchas gracias por todo.

Joining this Spanish book club has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my language learning journey. Not only has it helped me grow in my understanding of Spanish literature and grammar, but it's also given me a warm and supportive space to practice speaking, which was always the most intimidating part for me. What truly sets this club apart is our teacher, Gabriela. She is incredibly kind, endlessly patient, and genuinely invested in each member's progress. Whether we're stumbling through verb conjugations or searching for the right words in conversation, she always meets us with encouragement, helpful correction, and a smile that makes learning fun instead of frustrating. Our group discussions about the books, help reinforce vocabulary in context. I've learned to express myself more fluidly, pick up colloquial phrases, and feel more confident speaking Spanish in everyday settings.
