Learning Spanish isn’t just repeating
“¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”
It’s laughing with a native Spanish speaker you just met.
It’s saying something totally wrong — and having someone correct you, kindly.
At El Puente, we don’t teach classes.
We create spaces where real conversations happen — and jokes, too.
Because one day, without even noticing, you’ll stop translating… and just start speaking.
Why join El Puente?
