YOU NEED A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST
TEACHERS WHO’VE BEEN THROUGH IT
We started from scratch and have probably made all the mistakes you have and then some. That not only gives us a ton of patience, but helps us understand exactly what you’re struggling with and exactly how we can help you improve. And we're only getting better.
A PROVEN PATH TO SUCCESS
Once we identify which speech patterns need work, we let you know how to change them. We make this super easy through a unique system called “Espanglés”, where we effectively use English phonetics to help you sound native in Spanish.
FEEDBACK THAT WORKS
While kids pick up accents easily, adults need clear and thoughtful feedback to improve their pronunciation. We’ll show you where your tongue goes, how to think about producing the sound, and everything else you need to master Spanish pronunciation.

OUR CURRICULUM
WEEK 1: VOWEL SOUNDS
Deep dive into the nuanced vowel sounds of American English and compare them to vowel sounds in your language. Connect with our unique color-coded system that will help you pinpoint where to focus your practice. Learn with our personal word lists and PDF guides.
WEEK 2: CONSONANT SOUNDS
Learn to distinguish letters from sounds, and break the habit of reading with the pronunciation of your native language. Discover how aspiration, voicing, and clustering play a role in your overall accent when speaking English
WEEK 3: RHYTHM / LINKING / PROSODY
The most important features of the language are patterns of stress, word connection (parcing) and intonation. When combined, you start to develop a unique identity in the language, and you begin to express yourself more naturally, getting out more words per phrase and even making better decisions with vocabulary. This shows a certain level of mastery and allows you to create deeper connections with other native speakers.
WEEK 4: REVIEW
We look back on our 'tips of the day' (which start off each lesson) and other lessons around pronunciation and word choice from the month. We'll answer your personal language questions and we'll always address the biggest concerns we see based on our weekly practice and feedback videos. A great chance to remove any doubts!

ABOUT US
Ruben Adery isn’t your average polyglot. Holding academic degrees in both Spanish and Linguistics, what sets him apart is his ear to imitate dozens of regional accents and voices. Even though he speaks 5 languages and has spent nearly 2 years in Argentina, he's only now starting to share techniques more globally and accessibly after seeing success with individual students. With nearly 15 years of teaching, 5 as a dialect coach and 1 as a Fulbright scholar in South America, he has the ability to concretely explain how the process works so it makes sense from your unique perspective, with hundreds of students and teachers who have improved their pronunciation dramatically across 5 languages... and counting.
Dustin Luke is a social media content creator who first visited Argentina in 2006, fell in love with the country and made it his home for more than 8 years, traveling extensively to other Latin American countries and even hosting a travel show in Spanish on primetime national Argentine TV. With over 68M views and 1.5M followers across social media, he’s one of the most watched Spanish-speaking
non-natives on the planet. He brings that same love and passion to the live classes, making sure you don’t have to repeat the mistakes that he made on his way to perfecting his accent.
