The scene you already know

It's Monday. 09:00. School gate.

Backpacks hanging. Kids running. Someone calling your name from a distance.

And then it happens.

A mum walks up to you. She starts talking. And you smile before you understand. You nod before you know what you're agreeing to.

"¿Venís al cumpleaños mañana?"

For a second, everything goes quiet. You're not really listening anymore. You're translating. Searching. Hoping your face looks normal.

And at some point in that conversation… you disappear a little. Again.

Does any of this sound familiar?

"Sometimes I pretend to be busy on my phone so I don't have to do the awkward small talk."
"I'm tired of my child translating things for me."
"In my own language I'm funny, quick, opinionated. Here I sound like I've lost half my personality."
"I don't want to spend years living in Spain feeling like a background character in my own life."

It's not your brain. It's not your effort. It's not you.

The system wasn't built for you.

You've done the classes. Downloaded the apps. Tried to be consistent.

Nobody really tells you this: learning a language as an exhausted adult with children, responsibilities and probably a sleep-deprived brain has very little to do with memorising grammar rules.

The problem isn't that you haven't tried. It's that everything you've tried was built for someone else. Apps for commuters. Grammar courses for students with two free hours and a quiet room. Generic content about booking hotels and describing your hometown — while you're trying to understand what the teacher just said about your child.

You didn't fail the system. The system wasn't built for you.

Most Spanish courses are built around one idea: study enough, and eventually you'll speak. That's not how the brain acquires a language. That's how it passes an exam.

There's a difference between learning a language and acquiring one. And it's the difference that changes everything.

Acquiring happens through stories, repetition and hearing the same words in situations that are immediately relevant to your life, until they stop being "words" and start being just... thought. Not grammar in a quiet room.

The school gate conversation, the doctor's appointment, the birthday party you didn't know how to join.

That's what Habla MAMA is built on. And because your life doesn't come with two free hours, the audios go with you: in the car, on a walk, while the kids eat breakfast.

Consistent immersion. Built around motherhood, not against it.

I know what you're going through.
Because I've been there too.

I raised my children in a language that didn't always feel like mine. And things didn't suddenly change when my English got better. They changed when I stopped trying to sound perfect — when I showed up anyway, even when it felt uncomfortable and messy.

That's when things started shifting.

Because here's the truth:

You don't need perfect Spanish. You need Spanish for the life you actually live as a parent.

How it works.

This is how Habla MAMA works

Habla MAMA is not just Spanish classes. It's a programme built around the real conversations and situations mothers face every day in a way that brings consistency without overwhelm.

You'll learn the Spanish you need to speak with doctors, teachers, other parents, shopkeepers and service providers, so you can navigate daily life with greater confidence and independence. Because learning a language is easier when you're practising the conversations that actually matter to you.

Every week looks like this:
  1. You listen first.
    Before every live session, you get an audio and transcript with real situations from your life here. Your brain has already met the language before you try using it. Most women listen while doing ten other things at the same time.
  2. Then we meet online once a week in a small group.
    Maximum six women, all in the same situation as you. Through stories, repetition, role plays and conversations that actually sound like real life. You speak before you feel ready sometimes. You forget words. You laugh. You try again — much closer to how people actually acquire a language than sitting quietly doing grammar exercises.
  3. After class, you get a consolidation audio.
    The same story and key phrases again — so the language keeps sinking in naturally instead of disappearing from your brain the second the session ends. This is usually the moment women think: "wait… I actually understood that."
  4. We work on the part nobody talks about.
    The overthinking. The embarrassment. The weird feeling of becoming a quieter, smaller version of yourself in another language. Speaking more doesn't automatically fix that — we work on the emotional side of fluency, the blocks, the internal judgment, the freeze, so that when the moment comes, you show up.
  5. You learn to read between the lines.
    Understanding indirectness. Humour. Tone. Why "ya veremos" usually doesn't mean "we'll see." The cultural codes nobody explains but everyone somehow expects you to know — the stuff that makes the difference between translating words and actually feeling part of conversations.
  6. You do it with other mothers who get it.
    Being surrounded by women going through the exact same thing changes more than people expect. You stop feeling like the only one finding this hard. And that matters more than any lesson.

Before you ask about the live session schedule…

Don't worry. The programme is designed to offer flexibility and accommodate different schedules. You'll attend one live class per week, scheduled within one of the available time slots below. Live classes take place Tuesday to Thursday in small groups of maximum 6 people.

Afternoon
5:30 PM

All times are Spanish mainland time. Once you enrol, you will complete a short form to tell me about your availability and level, and I will place you in the group and time slot that best suits you.

This is what happens when you stop surviving conversations

And start the Habla MAMA journey.

ound like you? Keep reading.

  • You moved to Spain and expected the language to come with time — but it hasn't, not in the way you need it to.
  • You understand more than you can say, but when someone speaks to you unexpectedly, everything disappears.
  • You've tried apps, classes or private tutors — and you're still in the same place.
  • You're not looking for a certificate. You're looking to stop feeling like a background character in your own life.

There are two ways in — which one is you?

You've picked up words here and there

Maybe you started an A1 course once. You know "buenos días" and can order a coffee, but the moment a conversation goes beyond that, you freeze or smile and nod. You've been in Spain for months, maybe years, but your life still happens mostly in English: your job, your friendships, your WhatsApp groups. Spanish has stayed on the outside. This is where you start speaking it for real, in the situations that actually matter to you as a mother here.

Habla MAMA Conversational

You know the grammar — but still can't speak

You've studied. You know the grammar. You can read menus, follow instructions, understand bits of conversation. But the moment someone speaks to you at normal speed, everything disappears. You still reach for the translator. You still wait for your partner to handle the difficult conversations. You still feel like a quieter, smaller version of yourself every time you have to speak. You don't need more grammar. You need to stop translating in your head and start actually being in the conversation. This is where that finally happens.

Habla MAMA Flow

Hola, soy Marta

A mum of two, Certified Neurolanguage Coach® and former Spanish lecturer with 13+ years of teaching behind me.

But before all that… I was just another mum, feeling lost in translation.

I moved to the UK dreaming of becoming an international journalist. I passed the B1 exam fast, but still couldn’t hold a real conversation without freezing or faking it. The grammar was in my head. But the words?

They just wouldn’t come out.

Years (and hundreds of students ) later, I’ve learned what actually works when learning a new language.

Now back in Spain, after having my first baby abroad and experiencing the emotional toll of trying to parent in another language, I help international mums do things differently.

 

More facts about me

  • I’m trained in Hypnobirthing by Hypnobirthing Association in UK

  • I lived in Bristol (UK) for 11 years where I helped hundreds of people to communicate in Spanish at Bristol Uni and privately.

  • I love travelling, brunching and enjoying little things in life!

See you on Thursday 10th of Sept at 10:00
