A1 HOME – Spanish Like a Pro!

Most of the content on this site has focused on listening comprehension and speaking, rather than traditional lessons. But recently, I realized that many A1 learners feel completely overwhelmed by the avalanche of information out there—so I decided it was time to step in and help.

In addition to my listening materials, I’ve started creating video lessons designed specifically for beginners. Not just the funny stories you may have seen over the years—but actual lessons built around funny, real-life situations that help make Spanish clear, simple, and enjoyable.

I’ll be adding new lessons each month until I’ve covered all the essential topics beginners need. While I work on this big goal, I’ve also included some more traditional lessons by other authors as temporary stand-ins—so there’s still valuable material for you to learn from, even if it’s not as entertaining (yet!) as the puppet videos I’m building.

Stay tuned—there’s much more to come!

Enjoy this funny, conversational Spanish program where you’ll learn the basics of the language with the help of hilarious puppet characters who bring every situation to life! These expressive, over-the-top personalities make learning Spanish fun, memorable, and full of surprises, helping you laugh while you absorb natural, everyday vocabulary.

Sure, there are puppets—but don’t let that fool you. The vocabulary, expressions, and conversations in each lesson are 100% real—the kind of Spanish people actually use when speaking with friends, coworkers, or strangers on the street. It’s practical Spanish presented in a way that’s relaxed, clear, and a lot more entertaining than your typical textbook.

Each short, focused lesson introduces essential beginner topics like greetings, numbers, basic questions, how to ask for a phone number, and much more. These are exactly the kinds of conversations new learners need to master first, and each one is delivered through funny, relatable scenarios that make the material stick.

But this isn’t just about watching videos. After each lesson, you’ll find a variety of engaging practice activities to reinforce what you’ve learned. You’ll get listening comprehension exercises to help you develop an ear for how Spanish is really spoken, along with speaking prompts that guide you to use the vocabulary out loud. The goal is not just to understand—but to speak confidently and naturally, step by step.
