My Story
Moving to Spain in 2022 was not just a personal challenge but a realization: standard Spanish textbooks are useless when you need to negotiate a lease or understand a doctor at a hospital.
I went from being completely lost in the face of Spanish bureaucracy to creating a platform that solves these exact problems. My approach at How2Spanish is simple: we don’t teach abstract language, but rather the tools for survival and a comfortable life in Spain. I believe integration doesn’t start with a passport stamp, but with the first confident phrase spoken in a local bar or bank.
