Immerse Yourself with Us!
🚨 La Academia has Spanish classes starting this summer! 🚨
This is Beginner level for ages 6-9.
12 classes for $300. Our online and in-person classes are fun and interactive – and kept small so our teacher can communicate easily with the students.
Call, email or message for more information!
Hola a todos! Hello everyone!
We at La Academia want to give you an update on where we are as a company and school. As everyone has seen, both Tarrant and Dallas Counties have implemented stay at home orders. These are unprecedented times, and we as a community must do what is needed to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Due to these restrictions, we will not open our locations in Hurst or Keller until the orders are lifted. At that time, we will assess the situation and inform our students.
Our teachers are preparing themselves to bring you classes via Zoom online. Although it’s an online forum, it will be an interactive, virtual learning experience where the teacher and students can see and speak to one another – as if they were in the same room.
We will get started this coming week and your class schedule will remain at the same time. We hope everyone can join the classes! If you have any questions, please send an email to our office.
Please continue to listen to the radio, watch television or movies in Spanish, and join the online classes so you can continue your education.
Thank you so much for hanging in there and for giving us the opportunity to teach you a wonderful language!
We hope to get back to normal soon.
Gracias!
Karina Fernandez

Ana began working at La Academia five years ago, and has been staple in our classrooms since that time.
She can teach any level and has a gift for connecting with our students – no matter their age. You can find her in one of our classrooms, giving private lessons, or teaching police recruits and first responders basic Spanish. She is not only a teacher; she’s our curriculum coordinator.
One of her favorite lessons is this: it’s never too early or too late to learn a language. It may be difficult, but it is not impossible if you apply yourself and work hard.
Ana is originally from El Salvador, is married and has an eight-year old son. We’re so fortunate to have her on our team, and we appreciate her smile, teaching skills, patience and dedication.
Congratulations to Beatriz’s Beginner I Spanish class for completing their capsule!
This class meets at our Keller location on Thursdays at 7pm. The beginner Spanish capsule includes topics such as the alphabet, numbers, greetings and farewells, colors, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, animals, clothing, family members, food, and feelings.
Edward, Edee, Melanie, Mose, and Van all passed their test, and started the Beginner II Spanish capsule earlier this month. Job well done and keep going! Felicidades!
One recommendation we give to all our students is to listen to the language they’re learning. Reading and writing Spanish will typically come more easily, but listening (and speaking) can be a real challenge.
For this reason, we encourage students to listen to podcasts in Spanish. One of the best we’ve heard is the Duolingo podcast. Their podcasts focus on interesting, real-life topics. They include sections of English and Spanish, and they speak a little more slowly to help you follow along. In addition, they provide a transcript of each episode which is extremely useful.
You can find their free podcasts at podcast.duolingo.com. And the best part is you can listen to them anywhere on your phone, tablet or laptop.
If you’re tackling a new language, make sure you add listening to your studies!
We would like to congratulate Ana’s Beginner I Spanish class for completing their capsule!
This class meets at our Hurst location on Wednesdays at 11am. The beginner Spanish capsule includes topics such as the alphabet, numbers, greetings and farewells, colors, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, animals, clothing, family members, food, and feelings.
Kimberly, Karen, Charles and Carmen passed their test, and start the Beginner II Spanish capsule today! We love our students and we’re so proud of their hard work. Felicidades!
