Spanish Lessons in Santa Fe
Conversation-first lessons with teachers who grew up speaking Spanish — so you're talking from the very first class. ¿Empezamos?
Lessons For Every Age
Private, small group or online — every program starts with a free trial lesson.
Spanish You'll Actually Use
Most of us studied Spanish for years and still freeze when someone speaks to us. That's because we studied about the language instead of using it.
At Alcorra, you speak from the first lesson. Grammar comes in when you need it to say what you want to say, and every class ends with something you can use that week — at the market, with your neighbors or with your abuela on the phone.

What Learners Say
My kids' grandparents speak Spanish and my kids didn't. After a year of Saturday group classes, my seven-year-old ordered her own food in Spanish at my mother's birthday dinner. My mom was beaming.
I studied Spanish for four years in school and couldn't hold a conversation. Two lessons a week of actually talking, and three months later I got through a whole trip to Oaxaca without switching to English.
AP Spanish was the class I was most worried about. My tutor practiced the speaking section with me every week until it stopped being scary, and I got a 4.

For Those Who Grew Up Hearing It
Maybe you understand your grandparents perfectly but answer them in English. Maybe you speak well but have never learned to read or write in Spanish. Our heritage classes start from what you already know — no beginner drills — and build the reading, writing and confidence to use the Spanish that's already yours.

Questions We Hear
How much do Spanish lessons cost?
Kids' group classes start at $28 a class. Private lessons start at $55 an hour for adults and $60 for teen and AP Spanish. The 30-minute trial lesson is free.
Group or private?
Groups of up to four are great for kids and social learners. Private lessons move faster and suit AP students or anyone with a deadline, like a trip.
Do you teach online?
Yes — private lessons and some adult groups meet online with the same teachers and method.
What age can kids start?
From age 5. Younger children learn mostly through songs and games; reading and writing come in around age 7.
I'm a complete beginner. Is that OK?
Of course. Many of our adult learners start from zero, and you'll still be speaking in the first lesson.
Which Spanish do you teach?
Our teachers come from Mexico, New Mexico and Central and South America. You'll hear the Spanish spoken around you here, and learn how it varies elsewhere.
