In our reception area, on the wall of our school, is the word “create.” We view learning a language as a creative process. At Habla you won’t work your way through a textbook, chapter by chapter. Here you will experience language in a dynamic way by reading literature from the culture, discussing works of art, and experiencing the architecture and ruins of modern and Mayan Mexico. Most importantly you will learn Spanish so that you can tell your own story and create conversations, narratives, and even poetry in a new language. Based on ideas developed at the ArtsLiteracy Project at Brown University, you will participate in an engaging, innovative approach to language learning. 
Join us for a rich and in-depth language learning experience at Habla. Study Spanish in our supportive, intimate, and creative classroom environment. Explore the city of Merida, the cultural capital of Yucatan, and visit Mayan ruins and ecological sites nearby. Take advantage of our generous host families and practice your Spanish both day and night.
This unique opportunity to learn Spanish will combine daily yoga classes—in Spanish—with our creative approach to language learning. Study Spanish in an immersion setting at Habla and then continue learning Spanish in Yoga classes while nurturing the body and spirit. Yoga classes will take place both at Habla and on the beach near Progresso, a beach town outside of Merida.
We are in the process of designing a new Spanish program that will coincide with the Day of the Dead in Mexico. This program will teach Spanish through the lens of cultural traditions, artworks, essays and literature that examine Mexico’s spiritual and playful relationship with death. We will visit small pueblos around the city of Merida and learn how different families 
If you live in or near Merida there are two ways you can learn Spanish at Habla. Join us for our one to four week intensive classes or take Spanish three hours a week in our yearlong Spanish courses.
