I’m a professor and second language acquisition researcher and...

I can't teach you Spanish.

But you can learn. Here’s how:

Linguist, professor, and second language acquisition researcher Dr. Hannah Pitner explains why adult learners often recognize Spanish but struggle to communicate, how anxiety and memory affect speaking, and what task-based, communicative instruction looks like in a virtual course for busy adults.

This approach is the foundation of Linguaviva’s university-level Spanish courses, designed for adults who need language for real life.

I'M FOR SPANISH THAT WORKS IN MY REAL LIFE

"PRACTICAL, SOCIAL, MEANINGUL, CONNECTED"

"This course was much more practical than the courses I’d taken in high school and college, and it was much more fun and social. It felt less academic and formulaic, and there was value in every activity."

-JT, (learning Spanish to talk to his students and their parents)

"This modality works really well for people who want practice extended beyond the vocab focus of Duolingo! For me, it was so helpful to also see other people being brave and trying. It helped build my confidence to just try as well!"
