How it works
Five ways to practice real Mexican Spanish with us
Everything at Thrive in Spanish is built around speaking out loud — the Spanish of markets, neighbors, and daily life. Here is what each kind of class is for, what it costs, and how to book it.
Start here
A free 15-minute call with a teacher
Fifteen minutes on a video call with a real teacher. You talk through why Spanish keeps freezing on you, we point you to the right starting point, and you decide — no payment, no commitment.
- Best for
- Anyone unsure where to start
- Credits
- Free — no credits needed
- Where
- Pick a time on the call calendar
Flexible
Private sessions
One-on-one with a teacher who lives this culture, at a time that works for you. Bring the conversation you froze on this week — the market, a neighbor, a phone call — and practice it out loud until it stops being scary.
- Best for
- Busy schedules and specific goals
- Credits
- One private credit per session
- Where
- Book any open slot on the booking calendar
Weekly groups
Conversation Club
A small live group on Google Meet, talking through real life in Mexico — markets, neighbors, everyday moments. Themed conversations, often the same friendly faces each week. Drop in occasionally or make it your weekly habit with a monthly membership.
- Best for
- Keeping a weekly speaking habit
- Credits
- One group credit per class (a monthly pack funds a whole month)
- Where
- Pick your seats on the Club calendar
One-offs
Workshops
Themed one-off group classes that live on the same calendar as Conversation Club — one topic, one session, same small-group energy. Great for trying us out or going deep on a single situation.
- Best for
- Trying a group class or one specific topic
- Credits
- One group credit per workshop
- Where
- Same calendar as the Club
Learn deeply
Courses
Purchased curricula in the everyday Mexican Spanish you actually hear — banks, markets, neighbors. Some are self-study at your own pace, others include live classes with a cohort. Formats are labeled on every course.
- Best for
- Structure and steady progress from day one
- Credits
- Bought as a program — courses are not paid with credits
- Where
- Browse the course catalog
Credits, packs, and booking
The same simple flow behind every class: buy credits (or a course), book a time, show up on Google Meet.
How credits work
- You buy a credit pack once on Packages and the credits land on your account.
- Private sessions use private credits; Club and workshop seats use group credits. One class, one credit.
- A monthly membership simply grants fresh group credits each billing period — you still pick your own class times.
- Courses are bought as a program, not with credits — enroll once and the curriculum is yours.
How booking works
- Pick a class time that works on the calendar.
- Create an account (or sign in) so we can hold your seat.
- Pay once for a pack, or spend a credit you already have.
- We send the Google Meet link — show up and speak.
Changing plans? Cancelling and rescheduling follow the policy shown at booking time — free until the deadline, then the credit may be forfeited.
