Stop studying Spanish alone.
La Tribu is a small group where you practise real Spanish with real people, guided by me, Mónica. Real people. Zero pressure. Limited places.
- Every Thursday, live on Zoom
- 12 weeks
- Any level
Start with a 30-minute call with me. A symbolic $20, so only people who really want to speak book it.
You know that moment when someone speaks to you in Spanish… and every word disappears?
You smile.You panic.You say "sorry?" three times.
That's not because you're bad at languages. It's because you've been practising alone.
Apps, videos and vocabulary lists help, but they don't talk back. Real conversations have no pause button, no subtitles and no little owl cheering you on.
You need people.
That's La Tribu.

Three months ago, you were sitting on a terrace in Malasaña, nodding along to a conversation you didn't fully understand. Smiling at the right moments. Laughing half a second after everyone else.
Now it's Sunday. You're at a bar in La Latina, the kind with sticky floors and napkins everywhere, and someone cracks a joke in Spanish.
You get it. Before anyone explains it. You answer back. They laugh. You laugh. Not because you translated it in your head. Because you just… got it.
You're not visiting Madrid anymore. You're living it.
What you'll work on
- Why making mistakes is essential, not optional
- How to survive a conversation when you don't know the words
- How to train your ear for accents and fast talkers
- How to say more with fewer words
- How to bring Spanish into your day without "studying"
- Why chasing perfection keeps you quiet
Only join if you're ready to show up.
You don't need to speak perfectly. You don't even need to speak much at the beginning. You can listen. You can try one sentence. You can use Spanglish. You can make mistakes. But you do need to show up and try.
This is not for perfect people. It's for committed people.
What my students say
"I absolutely love Monica's teaching style as it makes it so easy to learn Spanish in a practical way. By telling stories and using news, ads and music we're able to easily process the language."
Nicola Roque"She is a highly qualified Spanish teacher and examiner, she has an interesting approach to the language through current affairs, films and culture, and she is very supportive, especially through moments when progress feels slow."
Robyn OwensHow to join
Two simple steps. Places are limited so every group stays small.

Frequently asked questions
What is La Tribu?
La Tribu is BlanBla's small-group Spanish speaking program: a live online conversation class every Thursday, real stories from Madrid and a group that speaks with you.
When are the classes?
Every Thursday at 15:00 Madrid time (9:00 in New York).
How much does La Tribu cost?
$299.
How do I join?
Book a 30-minute Spanish Speaking Roadmap call (symbolic price: $20) with Mónica first. You'll see if La Tribu is right for your level and goals.
I'm shy and my Spanish isn't good. Is it for me?
Yes. The group is small and mistakes are part of the process. Most students arrive understanding more than they can say.
Now imagine yourself in a few months…
Chatting with locals on a Caribbean beach. Wandering a street market with your favourite person. Sitting with a tapa in front of Gaudí's work and understanding the table next to you. Whatever you're dreaming of, in a few months you're ready.
