Hey homeschooling parent,
It’s no secret that you’ve got lots of things to do and little time to do it –
including no time to spend hours searching online for random resources that don’t have a proven plan for success.
Your busy, on-the-go lifestyle leads to very little room for live foreign language classes, but you are concerned you won’t find a high-caliber program in a self-study format.
Yet you know that you want your teen to be fluent in Spanish.
You want your teen to have a well-rounded education, to learn things that will help them grow into responsible, resourceful, helpful members of society.
Becoming bilingual is a part of your goal for them.
Teaching your child to speak another language – especially during the teen years – can feel daunting especially if you're not a qualified teacher or confident in speaking the language.
- How do I find the right curriculum?
- How do I find the right resources?
- How do I teach when I don’t know Spanish myself?
Maybe you’ve tried other programs or apps in the past, only to find you spend more time trying to get your child excited about learning Spanish or organizing lessons and resources that you had no time or energy left to enjoy homeschooling with your teen.
You need the flexibility of a self-paced Spanish course but with the support of Spanish-speaking teachers. Is this too good to be true?
You’re not alone, and the good news is that you don’t have to struggle with Spanish any longer.
Unlike other independent study resources that leave you feeling alone learning the language ...
This Spanish 1 is different!
This self-study, independent study Spanish 1 solution not only gives you the flexibility to learn at your own pace but also includes support of native Spanish-speaking teachers when you need it.

Hola, my name is Karim Morato,
a certified Spanish instructor, a native Spanish speaker and an MA Ed in online learning and curriculum instruction.
As a homeschool parent myself, I know the feeling of not wanting to hold back your children from learning subjects that you have limited knowledge about. It was that way for me with mathematics, so I invested in outside resources, teachers, and programs to support my children as they learned higher level math.
You may not be fluent in Spanish, or you may not feel equipped or able to teach Spanish at the required level and that’s okay. In those cases, you may be looking for a course that can give you a level of support, is affordable and that you can trust to give your child the education he or she needs.
This is why I created this Spanish 1 Foundation course for your teens – make Spanish language learning more accessible for homeschooled students and to support YOU the parent.
My online Spanish 1 course will help you to homeschool your child so they can gain the confidence they need to speak Spanish and become bilingual.
Our mission is to support homeschooling parents, educate bilingual families, and help learners fall in love with the Hispanic culture.
