60 min + 30 min Q&A

In learner-friendly Spanish; Q&A in English

In this brand new workshop, I’m going deep into one of the most challenging parts of learning Spanish: understanding real spoken Spanish.

Not textbook recordings, AI, or Spanish for learners.

I’m talking about the Spanish you hear from your Panamanian neighbors, your Venezuelan in-laws, or the Andalusian character on your favorite show.

In other words, the Spanish you hear from regular people who don’t slow down just because you’re learning.

If you’ve ever thought

“I can understand written Spanish, but when they speak I can’t keep up”
“Even when I know the words, I can’t recognize them or process them fast enough”
“It all sounds like one long word.”
“When I listen to natives I get discoruaged and feel like I haven’t actually learned anything”
“I understand my teacher, but not my neighbors.”
“I avoid speaking because I worry I won’t understand the response”

Then this workshop is for you.

You already know comprehension is essential.

But what you might realize is that it’s the bottleneck that affects (positively or negatively) the rest of your learning:

Translating (or not) in your head, using new grammar fluently, speaking in a way that sounds and feels natural…

All of that happens “downstream” of your listening— which means it also affects your confidence, motivation, and willingness to get out there and talk to real people.

I know how frustrating that is.

I spent years nodding along when I didn’t actually understand, feeling like I knew all the grammar but couldn’t talk to anyone, so focused on trying to understand that I couldn’t participate in conversation.

It wasn’t just me, and it’s not just you — this is the single biggest struggle I’ve heard from hundreds of students.

And that’s exactly why I’m running this workshop.

See…

When learners ask how they can improve their listening skills, they always get the same vague advice:

Switch your phone to Spanish!

More podcasts!

Improve your vocab!

Watch Netflix!

Immerse yourself!

Now, to be clear, listening to lots of Spanish is important.

But most learners aren’t progressing because they’re making one of two mistakes:

Mistake #1: “Swimming in the ocean”

If your main strategy is just throwing yourself at long, difficult content and hoping your brain somehow catches up…

That’s usually a very slow and frustrating way to improve.

It’s like trying to learn how to swim by being dropped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll move your arms and legs a lot, and you’ll be highly motivated not to drown, but you aren’t actually practicing “the backstroke.” You’re just panicking.

You learn to swim in a pool where you can occasionally touch the bottom.

Mistake #2: “Wading in the shallow end”

On the other hand, many learners have the opposite struggle. They’re staying in the “shallow end of the pool” with Spanish content that doesn’t really push them or reflect how Spanish sounds in real life.

What that means is that — to move into a solid conversational Spanish level — we need an approach that challenges us, but gives us supports we can hold onto.

You need an approach that trains your ear to handle connected speech, unpredictable conversation, unfamiliar accents, and the habit of staying with the message even when you miss something.

In other words:

You do not always need MORE Spanish.

You need better comprehension training.

That’s exactly what I’ll show you in this workshop.

What you’ll learn:

The biggest mistakes learners make when trying to improve comprehension
Why so much listening practice feels ineffective (and what to do instead)
What is actually going on when native Spanish sounds impossibly fast
My Layered Listening Method: a research-based, practical, flexible way to work with real Spanish and understand more of what you hear in 15-30 minutes a day.
Why understanding Spanish is not just a vocabulary problem (and other bottlenecks that might be slowing you down)
Why “just listen more” fails as a main strategy (and what to do instead)
How to use transcripts and subtitles without becoming dependent on them
What to do when your listening practice feels too hard (and how to choose the right material for your level)
How to improve your ability to handle different accents (without trying to master them all at once)
How to stop turning every listening session into a vocabulary scavenger hunt (and maintain momentum while learning new words)

Can I guarantee that after one workshop you’ll suddenly understand every native speaker, every movie, and every accent?

Sadly, no.

What I can promise is this:

By the end of this workshop, you’ll understand why you feel stuck, what to do about it, and exactly how to develop practical comprehension skills in 15-30 minutes a day.

Who this workshop is for:

It’s for you if:

You can understand slow Spanish in controlled contexts, but struggle with real-life conversations

You get lost when words run together and can’t process them fast enough

You can speak some Spanish, but your listening confidence holds you back

You’re tired of hearing “just listen more” and want a more focused method with a sense of progress

It’s probably not for you if:

You don’t like the idea of taking a workshop in (learner-friendly) Spanish

You’re a beginner with little experience listening

You already understand fast native Spanish comfortably in most situations and have an approach that works for you

You’re looking for a magic trick that eliminates the need for practice

SAVE YOUR SPOT

A new plan + patience

There’s no such thing as a shortcut to strong comprehension.

Improving listening comprehension takes time, effort, repetition and patience because your brain is learning to process a language in real time — not just recognize it on a page.

But if you have been stuck for a while…

If you have been listening and listening and still feeling lost…

Then it makes sense to stop and make sure you are practicing in the right way.

It’s like having a session with a personal trainer — one hour can save you months of ineffective exercise.

That is my goal with this workshop.

To save you time and frustration.

And to help you approach Spanish listening with a clearer strategy.

My aim is to give you years’ worth of trial, error, and hard-won lessons in one sitting at an affordable price.

I’m confident this workshop will be time and money well spent. And if you do not feel that it was worth it, I’ll happily give you a refund.

Your next breakthrough starts here

When comprehension is weak, conversation becomes stressful.

You hesitate to start talking because you worry you won’t understand the reply.

You ask people to repeat themselves again and again.

You struggle to catch up after missing a word.

You blame your memory or “language gene”…

But those aren’t the real issue.

The issue is that nobody teaches us how listening comprehension actually works — or how to train it properly.

That’s what this workshop is designed to fix.

We’ll go beyond the vague advice you’ve heard and start practicing together with a practical, flexible framework for building strong comprehension skills, so you can learn to understand anyone, anywhere.

I’ll break down the real reasons Spanish feels so hard to understand in the wild…

I’ll show you how I approach listening practice nowadays (after 15+ years of trial and error)…

And I’ll help you stop wasting time on methods that feel productive, but don’t transfer well to real-world Spanish.

You’ll learn how to make fast, connected Spanish much easier to follow — with a listening method that builds confidence, reduces overwhelm, and actually transfers to real conversations.
