A Program For Everyone
Habla programs are designed according to children’s developmental stages, not just language level. Each age group responds to how children think, play, communicate, and connect with the world at that moment in their lives.
Pekes (Ages 3-5)
At Habla, our Pekes program is thoughtfully designed for young children between 3 and 5 years old, an age where curiosity, imagination, and play are central to learning. This Spanish immersion experience introduces children to the language through a creative blend of stories, art, games, music, and movement, all grounded in the Habla methodology, which emphasizes connection, creativity, and cultural awareness.
What makes Pekes unique is our belief that language is best learned not through memorization or repetition, but through meaningful experiences. For many of our little learners who are just beginning to speak and do not yet read or write, we create opportunities for them to re-discover their world in Spanish, naming colors, emotions, nature, food, and everyday objects in ways that feel joyful and relevant to their lives.
Our classes are also deeply rooted in Mexican culture. Through carefully chosen picture books, traditional music, local stories, and hands-on art projects inspired by Mexico’s rich artistic heritage, children are introduced to the beauty and diversity of the culture as they learn the language. Each day becomes an exploration of both language and identity, guided gently by experienced teachers who understand the needs and rhythms of early childhood.
In Pekes, children don’t just learn Spanish, they live it, feel it, and grow with it.
Niñxs (ages 6–10)
At Habla, our Niñxs program is designed for children between 6 and 10 years old, a stage where imagination, curiosity, and social awareness continue to shape how they learn. This Spanish immersion program builds on children’s natural creativity while gently introducing more structure, helping them develop confidence in understanding and using the language.
Learning happens through stories, games, collaborative projects, art, movement, and guided conversations, all rooted in the Habla methodology, which values meaningful connection, creativity, and cultural context. At this age, many children are beginning to read and write, so we incorporate early literacy in Spanish in an organic, pressure-free way, always connected to real experiences and themes that matter to them.
Mexican culture plays a central role in the Niñxs program. Through children’s literature, traditional games, music, food, and hands-on cultural projects, students explore language alongside history, community, and identity. Our teachers create a supportive environment where children feel safe experimenting with Spanish, asking questions, and expressing themselves.
In Niñxs, Spanish becomes a tool for discovery, collaboration, and storytelling — not just something to study, but something to use and enjoy every day.
Pre-Teens (ages 11–13)
The Pre-Teens program at Habla is designed for learners between 11 and 13 years old, a stage marked by growing independence, critical thinking, and a deeper awareness of the world. Our Spanish immersion experience responds to this developmental moment by offering more complex projects, discussions, and creative challenges that invite students to actively engage with language and culture.
Classes integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening through project- based learning, storytelling, cultural exploration, and collaborative problem-solving. Grammar and structure are introduced contextually, always connected to meaningful themes rather than isolated exercises. Students are encouraged to express opinions, ask questions, and reflect — all in Spanish — at a level appropriate to their individual proficiency.
Cultural learning is woven throughout the program. Pre-teens explore Mexican culture through literature, history, social topics, art, and everyday life, making connections between their own experiences and those of the communities around them. This approach helps students see language as a living, social tool rather than an academic subject.
In Pre-Teens, Spanish becomes a space for curiosity, self-expression, and connection — supporting both linguistic growth and personal development.
Teens (ages 14–17)
Habla’s Teens program is designed for adolescents who are ready to engage with Spanish in deeper, more intentional ways. This immersion program supports teens as they develop linguistic confidence, cultural understanding, and critical thinking skills, all while respecting their growing independence and identity.
Classes are dynamic and discussion-based, combining conversation, reading, writing, media, and project work. Students explore real-world topics, cultural issues, and creative expression, using Spanish as a tool to communicate ideas, opinions, and personal perspectives. Grammar and vocabulary are integrated naturally, supporting clarity and accuracy without losing authenticity or flow.
Mexican culture is a core component of the Teens program. Through literature, film, art, community experiences, and cultural dialogue, students gain insight into social contexts and lived experiences, fostering empathy and global awareness. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding meaningful conversations and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning.
