Most adult learners do not need more grammar. They need a room where they are expected to talk, every week, with people at the same stage. That is the whole idea behind our small group Spanish conversation classes, and this post explains exactly what they are, who they are for, and what happens once you sign up.

Speak Better Spanish, which Hannah founded in 2014, runs these groups alongside its one-to-one coaching on Zoom.
What a small group class actually is
Four live sessions on Zoom, capped at eight students, built around guided conversation rather than lecture. A coach steers the discussion, introduces vocabulary as it comes up naturally, explains the culture behind the language, and makes sure every person in the room speaks in every session.
The cap is the point. At eight students you cannot hide, and you also cannot be put on the spot in front of forty people. Mistakes are expected. Asking someone to slow down is normal.
How the group classes run
Each group runs for four weeks, once a week, live on Zoom, with a new topic each round. Groups have a maximum of 8 students and need 3 to run. If the minimum is not reached, students can take a refund or move their registration to a future class. The next group, its dates and the current price are on the group classes page.
Knowing the rule is the easy part. Using it mid-conversation is where most adults freeze. In a free roadmap session, a coach hears you speak and gives you a plan for what to practice next.
Who these classes are for
All levels, all ages, and students join from around the world. In one small group you might meet:
- Complete beginners, who are warmly welcome and get plenty of support
- Learners coming back after a break of months or years
- Travelers and digital nomads
- Expats and people preparing to move to Mexico
- Healthcare professionals, engineers and business owners
- Retirees, busy professionals and parents
- People learning Spanish for a relationship
Beginners and intermediate learners sit in the same room on purpose. Beginners get support and a real reason to speak. Intermediate learners stretch into longer turns and build fluency through repetition. Everyone is working on the same thing: being more comfortable speaking.
What a typical class looks like
- A warm welcome and an easy opening question
- Guided conversation on the week’s topic
- Vocabulary introduced as it comes up, not as a list
- Cultural explanation where the language needs it
- Student questions, including the ones you brought
- Practical speaking practice for the rest of the session
No two classes run identically, because the conversation follows the people in the room. The study materials are the foundation, not the script.
What happens after you register
- Immediately: your registration confirmation email
- Within one business day: the welcome package, with Zoom details, the full schedule, weekly topics, vocabulary, study materials for all four weeks, and class expectations
- Before each class: a friendly reminder
- After each class: the recording, notes, and extra practice when it helps
Studying ahead is completely optional. You are welcome to just show up. The materials go out early for the people who like to preview, and you are encouraged to bring your own questions either way.
What if you miss a week?
Every live session is recorded, because students join from many countries and time zones. If work, travel, family or anything else takes out a week, the recording reaches you afterwards so you can catch up before the next session.
Not sure this is the right fit?
It is worth two minutes rather than a guess. Book a free Spanish Roadmap Session and we will tell you honestly whether the group class or one-to-one coaching will get you further, based on where your Spanish actually is.
From our research: Our own class records point the same way: the first few classes decide most of it. 13.4% of our students never booked a second class, and of those who reached a fifth, 77.1% went on to take ten or more. Here is the full retention study.

Hannah, Arturo and Jacky. Coaching since 2014, based in Monterrey, Mexico.“Hannah assured me one day it will start to click but I was convinced I would never master the language. […] [Recently] I had a full conversation with a worker who was pointing and repairing my windows. He spoke no English and the boss was not on site. I understood almost everything this man was explaining about the work […] I felt so proud of myself! It clicked!”
Catherine, student since 2023“She is able to do what native Spanish speakers aren't: she answers the question, why? Hannah has helped to make sense of it.”
