LEARNERS

You’ve been studying Spanish for a while but progress feels invisible. You have resources — what you’re missing is a real plan.

I’M DONE GUESSING

HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES

You want Spanish to feel natural in your home, but nothing has stuck. You need something warm, structured, and easy to use.

BRING SPANISH HOME

SPANISH TEACHERS

You need resources that actually engage your students without spending hours creating from scratch.

ENGAGE STUDENTS

This is who I can help the best.

¡Hola! I’m Señora Havana.

I’m a fluent Spanish speaker, bilingual parent, and the founder of Grow Spanish. For over 20 years I’ve been living, learning, and raising kids in Spanish — and helping others do the same.

I created Grow Spanish because I know what it feels like to study without direction, teach without the right tools, and search for curriculum that actually feels alive.

Everything I build — from study plans to homeschool curriculum to classroom resources — is rooted in one belief: Spanish should feel meaningful, not overwhelming.

Spanish fluency isn’t a gift — it’s a skill you can grow. 🌿

PROVEN SUCCESS THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

What our Community Has to Say…

  • The way the steps are broken down to help myself re-learn Spanish and then to teach my children has made me feel more confident that I can do this! I love how it explains different learning processes and to come up with my own style of learning as well as suggestions to help my children also. This is such a helpful guide! Thank you! Or should I say Gracias!

  •  Describing some characters, my early advanced used words like nobleza, pobre, rico . . . and I was able to provide words like siervo, obrero, mendigo, plebeyo, AND MORE. So while the former was generally within their grasp, your handout easily allowed me to reference the other words. Not only does it show it to them and offer them access, but it offers ME A REMINDER that they exist.

  • Rachel gives actionable, realistic tips for teaching kids Spanish.  She helps you work with the way your child’s brain works instead of force-teaching Spanish to them. The show and tell method is genius!

THE GROW SPANISH

Skill Building Framework

Most Spanish learners never reach fluency because no one ever gave them a map.

They study for years — apps, classes, grammar books — and still can’t hold a real conversation. Not because they’re not smart. Because they were never shown how the skills connect, where they are, or what to focus on next.

The Grow Spanish framework changes that.

FIVE LANGUAGE SKILLS

Real fluency isn’t one skill — it’s five, built together.

Listen

Understanding Spanish Through Real Input

Speak

Responding, Repeating, Expressing Ideas

Read

Recognizing Vocabulary and Patterns

Write

Reinforcing Language Through Sentence Creation

Think

Processing Ideas Directly in Spanish

This is what progress actually looks like.

Every skill and every core element moves through the same three stages. Most learners get stuck at “Recognize It, Can’t Use It” — they understand words but can’t produce them when it counts.

The Grow Spanish framework is built to move you through all three stages, for every element, until Spanish happens automatically.

FOUR CORE ELEMENTS

These are the building blocks of every Spanish sentence you’ll ever speak.

Vocabulary

remembering words

Pronunciation

sounding right

Conjugation

choosing the form

Grammar

building sentences
