If you understand Spanish but freeze when it's your turn to speak…
You don't need more Spanish. You need to flip your Broca Switch.
The part of your brain that understands Spanish is already trained — years of apps, books and subtitles did that. The part that speaks it has never been switched on. This 20-day live workshop turns it ON: one real speaking hour a day, in a group of 8, guided by Profe María. Have your first real conversation in 20 days — guaranteed, or your money back.
- ✓20 live classes

The science, made simple
Right now, your Broca Switch is OFF.
Language doesn't live in one place in your brain. It lives in two — and only one of them has been trained.
Go ahead — flip it.
Tap the switch above to see what happens inside your brain.
Zone one understands.Reading, listening, Netflix with subtitles — every app and book you've ever used trained this zone. Yours is strong. That's why you understand almost everything.
Zone two speaks.A completely separate region — scientists call it Broca's area — with one job: getting the words out of your mouth. Nothing you've done has ever trained it. That's the freeze. That's the blank. Not a knowledge problem — a switch that was never flipped.
The one-arm gym problem
It's like training only your right arm for two years. Understanding is huge and ready. Speaking? You never lifted it once. And a switch doesn't get flipped by studying — it gets flipped by speaking, with real people, until it clicks.
Why I built this
“I studied English in school, in university, on trips. I passed every exam. And in my first real conversation… I froze and forgot everything. That day I understood: it was never a lack of studying.”
Profe María
Founder, Spanish But Real
When María finally understood what was happening inside her brain — a fully trained understanding zone next to a switched-off speaking zone — everything changed. First for her English. Then for the 150+ students she's helped flip the same switch in Spanish.
The hard truth
Why the green owl — and the AI robots — can't flip it
You HAVE been practicing. Just on the wrong zone.
The little green owl trains the wrong muscle
Tapping, matching, picking the right answer from four options — that's recognizing, not speaking. Every streak you keep makes your strong zone stronger… and leaves your Broca Switch exactly where it was: off.
AI characters have no eyes looking back
No warmth. No real reaction. No human stakes — and human stakes are exactly what your brain needs to build real speech. Practicing with a robot is like practicing swimming on the living-room floor: the second you hit real water, you sink.
The switch only flips one way: real humans, reacting in real time, every single day.

The workshop
20 days of the only thing that flips the switch
One live hour a day on Zoom with Profe María and a group of 8 real people. No grammar lectures. No homework mountain. No owl, no robots.
From minute one — you speak: real conversations, role-plays, debates, improvisation, instant feedback.

Sound familiar?
Signs your switch is still off
Your mind goes blank the second it's your turn — even when you understood everything they said.
You translate every sentence in your head before it comes out — and by then the moment is gone.
You freeze mid-sentence and switch back to English, then feel embarrassed about it later.
Years of Duolingo, apps and grammar books later, and you still haven't had a real conversation.
You stay quiet in meetings, on trips, or with your partner's family — even though you 'know' the words.
You avoid speaking Spanish out loud because you're terrified of sounding broken.
None of this means you're bad at languages. It means your speaking zone was never trained. That's fixable — fast.
Why a group of 8
Real life is a group — so that's where the switch flips fastest
When you finally speak Spanish out in the world, it's beautifully messy: people interrupt, talk fast, change topics, ask you things when you're not ready. A small group is the closest thing to that real world — with a coach in the room.
01
Eight accents, eight rhythms.
You don't just talk to María — you react to eight different people, in real time. That's the actual muscle of conversation.
02
The shame melts.
You watch the person next to you stumble, survive, and laugh. In that instant you realize: 'it's not just me.' Fear can't live there.
03
Personal feedback, every class.
María coaches you individually inside the group — real coaching and real conversation, in the same hour.
04
Daily accountability.
Seven other people expect you tomorrow. Showing up daily is exactly how a switch clicks into place.

Your teacher
Meet Profe María
María is the founder of Spanish But Real and your teacher for all 20 sessions of the workshop.
With over 4 years of experience teaching Spanish, her method is built on one simple idea: you don't learn a language — you live it.
A social communicator and journalist by training, María has taught CEOs, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to move through Spanish naturally — not just survive a conversation, but truly own it.
In every class she'll push you to activate what you already know, loosen up, and finally speak with the confidence you deserve — because she froze once too, in English.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered
Is the 'Broca Switch' real science?+
Yes — the name is ours, the science isn't. Broca's area is a real region of the brain, responsible for producing speech, and it's separate from the regions that handle comprehension. That's exactly why you can understand Spanish and still struggle to speak it: they're different systems, and only one of yours has been trained. Speaking practice — out loud, with real people — is how the other one gets activated.
Do I need a minimum level of Spanish?+
Yes — this workshop is designed for intermediate students (A2 – B1 and up). If you can understand most of this page, you're ready.
What if I miss a class?+
Every session is recorded and shared with the group, so you never lose content. That said, attending live is where the real progress happens.
What time are the classes? Will it work in my timezone?+
There are two groups to choose from, both in Colombia time (🇨🇴 COT). Morning group: 8–9 AM COT = 🇺🇸 9 AM New York · 🇺🇸 6 AM Los Angeles · 🇬🇧 2 PM London · 🇪🇸 3 PM Madrid. Evening group: 7–8 PM COT = 🇺🇸 8 PM New York · 🇺🇸 5 PM Los Angeles · 🇬🇧 1 AM London · 🇪🇸 2 AM Madrid. Best for the Americas & Europe. If you're in Asia or Oceania, message us before booking — we open new time slots when there's demand.
What if I'm too shy to speak?+
That's exactly why this workshop exists. No one judges mistakes here — we celebrate them. The tiny group is built to be a safe space where every student speaks.
Can I pay in installments?+
It's a single payment of $297. If you need an alternative arrangement, just email us and we'll figure it out together.
Is it refundable?+
Yes — you're fully protected by our 7-day money-back guarantee. Seats are capped at 8, so we hold yours the moment you book. Come to the first classes live: if within 7 days of the workshop starting you don't feel it's getting you to speak, email us and we'll refund every cent.
