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.
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."
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 — while you're trying to understand what the teacher just said about your child.
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:
Not just classes. A full learning system built around your real life.
Every week looks like this:
You listen first.
Before every live session, you get an audio and transcript with real situations from your life here — school conversations, birthday parties, doctor's appointments, talking to neighbours. Your brain has already met the language before you try using it. Most women listen while doing ten other things at the same time — because motherhood.
Then we meet online once a week in a small group.
Maximum 6 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. You forget words. You laugh. You try again.
After class, you get a consolidation audio.
The same story and key phrases again — so the language keeps sinking in naturally instead of disappearing the second the session ends. This is usually the moment women think: "wait… I actually understood that."
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. We work on the emotional side of fluency — the blocks, the internal judgment, the freeze — so that when the moment comes, you show up.
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.
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.
About the live session schedule
The programme is designed to offer flexibility and accommodate different schedules. You attend one live class per week, in one of the available time slots below. Live classes take place Tuesday to Thursday in groups of maximum 6 people.
All times are Spanish mainland time (CET/CEST). Once you enrol, you'll complete a short form about your availability and level, and I'll place you in the group that best suits you.
And start the Habla MAMA journey.

Habla MAMA Sprint is for you if...
- 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.
- You want a focused 12-week starting point to build real momentum in Spanish before the school year begins.
There are two ways in — which one is you?
You can't yet form sentences with confidence
You freeze in real conversations and need to start communicating in the situations that actually matter — the doctor, the school gate, the birthday party, the neighbour at the door.
You know the grammar — but still can't speak
You've studied. But you're still translating in your head, you avoid conversations and you don't feel like yourself when you speak. This is where fluency becomes real.
Not sure which one is yours? We'll figure it out together on the call.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Audio + transcript
Real-life situations to listen to while cooking, driving or walking. Your brain meets the language before you use it.
Weekly class · max. 6 people
Stories, repetition, role plays and real conversation. You speak before you feel ready. You try again.
Consolidation audio
The same story and key phrases again — so the language sticks instead of disappearing when the session ends.
Grammar videos + transcripts
Clear grammar explanations when you need them. Everything comes with a transcript.
Self-coaching prompts
Tools to release the anxiety, shame and limiting beliefs that make you feel like a smaller version of yourself in Spanish.
Cross-cultural communication
Why "ya veremos" rarely means "we'll see." The unspoken codes everyone expects you to know.
Implementation challenges
Small actions to bring what you've learned into your actual week — not into a workbook.
Community + WhatsApp
Women going through exactly the same thing. Support between sessions throughout the whole 12 weeks.
Start the summer with a head start
The programme starts in September. Join now and get immediate access to summer materials so you arrive at the school gate already warmed up.

Audios and transcripts to listen to over the summer at your own pace — school gate conversations, birthday parties, back-to-school prep, the September parent meeting.
After Sunday June 28th at 23:59, this bonus disappears. The programme will still be available, just without the early summer access.

Real messages. Real mothers. Real life in Spain.
Still got questions?
What if I don't have time?
What if I can't make the live sessions?
How many people are in each group?
But I'm shy speaking in groups…
Can I join with my baby or child?
What time are the live sessions?
What if this isn't for me?
What makes this different from other Spanish courses?
Is this only for mums? Can dads join too?
I'm already doing another Spanish course. Is it still worth joining?

Hola, I'm Marta
A language coach and a mum of two from Spain. I taught Spanish at Bristol University for more than a decade, then became a mum abroad myself — googling vocabulary before midwife appointments, leaving conversations wondering if I'd really understood.
Motherhood already comes with enough overwhelm. Doing it in another language just adds a whole new layer of stress and insecurity to everything.
That's why, when I moved back to Spain, I retrained in language acquisition, storytelling and neuroscience-based teaching — and started focusing specifically on international mothers living here.
Because mothers don't need another generic Spanish course. They need real-life language, genuine support and a way of learning that actually fits the reality of raising children abroad.
This is what's on the other side.
Replying to the school WhatsApp group without opening Google Translate first.
Going to a birthday party and actually joining the conversation — instead of standing slightly outside of it, pretending to watch your child.
Understanding your neighbour at the door. Following the teacher's feedback without nodding and hoping for the best. Calling the doctor yourself.
Feeling like yourself again — in the country you've chosen to call home.
Let's talk over a coffee.
Send me a WhatsApp message and I'll personally get back to you. No bots, no funnels — just me.
No pressure. Just a conversation.
Message me on WhatsApp →This is it.
You don't need to sound perfect to connect with people and feel like yourself again here. You need a system that works with your life as a mother — not against it.
