Mi voz en español.
A guided group program for adults who already speak some Spanish and want to bring more of themselves into the conversation. Twelve weeks, one group, from a fixed start date to a fixed end.
You practise staying present, taking part, and finding a way forward when the words run out, one conversation at a time.
You have something to say, and you want to stay with it.
The group works on these three moments directly, because they are where most conversations are lost.
Mi voz en español
One group moves through twelve weeks together, from a fixed start date to a fixed end. A cohort opens only when it reaches its minimum enrollment, and nobody joins once it has started.
Beginner and advanced cohorts open once the first intermediate group finishes.
A story becomes the starting point for yours.
Every session runs the same four beats, and the workbook carries them between meetings.
A workbook you keep, and a group that answers you.
The workbook holds the stories, the comprehension work, the grammar in its context and the personal prompts together. It gives you the expressions for asking, clarifying and continuing, and you can return to it long after the twelve weeks end.
The other learners bring experiences and questions you would not have written yourself. You listen to their stories, show interest, and contribute to a conversation that belongs to the whole group. An everyday experience works as well as an imagined one.
You may notice that you organise a story more clearly, ask a question without waiting for a prompt, use a verb form more accurately, or return to an idea after losing a word. Those are the signs Susabi watches for.
How the cohort runs.
One group moves through twelve weeks together, from the day you book to the day it ends.
The intro call
The call runs fifteen minutes and costs nothing. Susabi places your level and names the format that fits.
The cohort fills
A group opens once it reaches its minimum. Short of that, the start slips a week or two.
Twelve weeks together
The start and end dates are fixed. The group moves as one, so nobody joins mid-course.
The next level
Beginner and advanced cohorts open once the first intermediate group finishes.
Is this the right space for you?
How much Spanish do I need?
The program runs at intermediate and upper-intermediate level. Susabi talks through what you understand and express today to see whether the group fits. If you are beginning, one-on-one lessons build your first resources, and beginner and advanced cohorts open once the first group finishes.
Will we work on grammar?
Yes. Explanations and guided practice develop the structures your message needs, and then those structures go into a conversation. Grammar, listening and pronunciation are part of the experience rather than a separate track.
If you get nervous, or you need more time
You can pause and ask for help. The group practises ways to gain time and continue, and Susabi adjusts the support to the activity. The short invitations to notice your breathing are optional.
What are the dates, the price and the joining options?
Susabi sets the price and the next start date, and gives you both on the call. A cohort opens once it reaches its minimum enrollment, and short of that the start slips a week or two.
Can I join after the cohort starts?
No. The group moves together from a fixed start date.
I already bought a class pack. Can I move to the cohort?
Yes, if you move before the cohort starts. You pay the difference between what you bought and the program price.
Where is Susabi, and what time zone do classes run in?
Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Scheduling works around your time zone.
Ask about the next edition.
Susabi sets the price and the start date, and tells you on the call whether the group fits your Spanish. If you are beginning, one-on-one lessons build your first resources.
