What is Hablea about?

Hablea is a project-based in Medellín proposing a complete program of Spanish classes and Spanish immersion in Medellín and in the town of Jardin. Participants will be able to learn Spanish, learn about Colombian culture. The secondary objective is to create an intercultural program integrating and connecting projects with locals and finally create a network of language lovers.

About the founder

My name is Alejandra Cuarán Zamora, a native Spanish speaker who is passionate about teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I am originally from Bogotá, Colombia but currently live in Medellín, the town of eternal spring.

My students are from all over the world, but all come to have one thing in common: a love for the Spanish language. As a student in my program, you’ll get my unique approach to teaching that makes learning Spanish a positive experience.

When I first decided to learn English many years ago, I began my journey with a trip to England. This trip was the first of many other adventures, including earning my Master’s Degree in International Relations while living in France. Later, I taught as a professor of Intercultural Studies at Universities and in small workshops and spent 5 years helping create a language learning app. I’ve also lived in Spain, studied technology for education, and now speak 4 languages: English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Through these experiences, I discovered that the best way to learn a language is through a non-traditional approach.

I personally understand how hard it is to learn a new language, and empathize with the challenges my students face; learning something new and staying motivated is hard. Hablea brings something new to the table. Hablea features a teaching methodology that adapts to each individual student unlike any other course online. My passion for teaching drives me to give the best I have to each student, and quality education is my top priority.

How Hablea got started

In 2013 I started Hablea while I was living in France and offering Spanish classes on Skype to French speakers. France had a profound impact on my life, so I wanted to offer a different method to my Spanish students. As I started teaching more, I realized that many people are interested in learning a language—but don’t have the time or money to join a class. And, many people felt that classes offered in schools lacked personalization, so they’d lose interest. All of this inspired me even more to continue my work Hablea, combining my two greatest loves: Education and Language. Since launching Hablea, I have had students from all over the world and continue to create more projects related to education.

Hablea believes that barriers created by language and distance can be erased through education and connecting with people from all over the world.

Starting in 2018, Hablea will lead an intercultural exchange movement in the city of Medellin and the town of Jardin. Colombia is a country where education is still a privilege for few, with current high levels of inequality. Many projects are trying to solve this problem but the country still an unsettling amount of youth without quality education. This project seeks to encourage the young generation to learn languages and connect through innovative projects. If you are learning a language or if you just want to practice, try my classes. I will show you that learning a language does not have to be difficult. Educators must realize that each of us have a different way of learning. My work honors the unique way you learn. Hope to see you soon! Alejandra
