Welcome to / Bienvenido a
SOL Language Community!

Stop nodding along. Start connecting.

Overcome the fear of speaking Spanish so you can connect authentically and build real confidence to bond with family, build trust with colleagues, and belong anywhere.

We help you break past the silence and reclaim your heritage language or master a new one for work or travel with flexible, personalized, live Spanish coaching online.

You’ve tried the apps, AI tools, podcasts, but you still struggle to speak.

This coaching is designed for adults who:

Learned Spanish in School
or with apps

But forgot most of it (or always struggled to speak it)

Heritage Speakers

Adults who grew up with Spanish and understand more than they can say

Want to use Spanish for life goals

to build trust at work, travel confidently, connect with community and loved ones

Feel anxious about making mistakes

Freeze when speaking due to fear of embarrassment
Traditional language learning

Keeps you Silent.

You start excited to learn – you download an app, start listening to videos in Spanish, can say random words, even recognize them when reading.

Then, a 500 day streak or hours of listening later, when you go to speak, you freeze. The drive home is a nightmare overthinking and feeling down on yourself – “Why do I still struggle to speak?”

The same thing happened to me and all of my clients. I used to think, “maybe my brain doesn’t work that way.” But the truth is that we were taught languages in a way that doesn’t serve us.

Apps and listening practice are great tools, but the best way to gain real speaking confidence is live speaking practice and supportive, personalized coaching.

Meet your language coach

Hola, I’m Claudia.

I’m an online language coach who specializes in helping adults break past the “silent stage.” I know what it feels like to want to connect but feel held back by language barriers because I’ve been there. I was a “no sabo” kid who struggled with speaking Spanish, but thanks to a great coach, I broke past that fear.

My mission isn’t to make you perfect; it’s to make you present. I combine language teaching expertise and personal experience with psychological support to help you (re)claim your Spanish speaking confidence.

Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots or building bridges at work, I’m here to guide you from hesitation to fluency.

  • Goodbye Duolingo!

    When I started, I had a 700 day streak on Duolingo, but still struggled to speak beyond basics. I grew up with Spanish and studied up to Spanish 5 in high school, but lost it. When I moved to Spain in 2025, I still felt embarrassed speaking with native Spanish speakers.

    I have been taking Spanish classes for the last few months. My goals were to improve my speaking and rapid recall. I have seen a drastic improvement over the last few months and am excited to see my growth in the future. SOL language is so organized and timely. Everything is clear and if I want to practice I can just login to the website and find infinite ways to improve my Spanish.

  • Great Price!

    Claudia has been a fantastic teacher!! I had been looking for a teacher or a class for several years and she was recommended to me. Within 24hrs she responded to my request to learn more and throughout my 2 months of private lessons she has been very informative and very supportive.

    I highly recommend Claudia and her program to help learn a new language. She teaches me Spanish. The classes are fun! I also took a group class once and although I was shy everyone was super nice and it was a great experience!

    I’ve already signed up for another 6 months with her. Excited to see where I’m at in the months ahead.

  • Love the progress tracking!

    I laid out my goals clearly for Claudia and we specifically targeted those during our lessons. She’d adapt her teachings to exactly what I needed and made each lesson fun and comfortable. I was really worried about embarrassing myself while learning the language and she always made it a very safe and understanding environment!

  • Best Spanish coaching!

    My 1:1 Spanish classes with Claudia have been amazing! As someone returning to learning Spanish after many years lapsed, Claudia was so good at assessing my skill level, meeting me where I was, and tailoring our lessons to help me grow. I can see a huge improvement in just a few months. Each lesson is clear and comprehensive, and Claudia is very communicative and adaptable. I would recommend SOL to any level of Spanish speaker!

  • My favorite Spanish classes!

    I’ve loved these Spanish classes – Claudia makes the classes fun, engaging, and approachable, especially for those who are very new to learning Spanish. Her teaching style is highly encouraging and flexible for her learners – the right balance of structure/rigor and encouragement to make for a positive and productive learning environment. I highly recommend her classes!

  • Safe, welcoming space to learn Spanish!

    These classes gave me a genuine sense of belonging and encouragement. What impressed me most was how quickly I began progressing. After just the first week, I already found myself speaking Spanish more comfortably, and after about eight weeks, I had significantly improved my fluency and confidence with the Spanish I had previously learned.

    Her classes are especially valuable for adult learners and professionals who want a flexible, supportive, and practical learning environment that connects language learning to real life. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a patient, encouraging, and highly effective Spanish teacher.

FAQs

Join our community with clarity

Adult brains are great at pattern recognition. Our sessions fit into your schedule, focusing on high-impact conversations.
Everyone has an accent. Perfection is the enemy of connection. We prioritize being understood over sounding native.

Apps give you feedback on screens. I give you feedback on human interaction. You’ll learn tone, body language, and spontaneity—things apps can’t teach.
