The Space Where Your Spanish Speaking Skills Expand
A 3-month, bi-weekly, Spanish-only speaking lab for women ready to use Spanish confidently for business and travel.
You already know Spanish isn’t the problem.
The hesitation is.
The SFBG Speaking Lab was created for past Spanish for Black Girls clients who are ready to move from:
understanding → expressing
practicing → speaking
preparation → presence
This is not a class.
It’s a container for your confidence to grow.
WHO THIS LAB IS FOR
Hey girl, hey! If you’ve been dreaming of learning Spanish while experiencing pure luxury, adventure, and sisterhood, this is your sign.
This experience is for you if:
• You’ve already learned Spanish and want to use it out loud but haven’t found the time or space to consistently use it
• You want to speak more clearly for travel and in professional settings
• You’re ready for feedback that sharpens—not shames
• You want consistent speaking practice, not more content so you can hone your skills
• You’re comfortable being supported
This lab is intentionally small so every woman is supported.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most programs focus on learning.
This lab focuses on expression.
Inside the Speaking Lab:
We speak only in Spanish
You are coached in real time
Your clarity, flow, and confidence improve every session
You receive targeted feedback, not correction overload
You leave knowing you can be understood
This is where Spanish stops living in your head and starts living in your voice.
Why Black Women Love This Trip
For us, this isn’t just about learning Spanish. It’s about…
- Access and empowerment: Speaking Spanish expands your opportunities in travel, business, and relationships.
- Representation and community: Traveling with women who look like you creates a safe, affirming, and inspiring environment. Yes, Costa Rica has places that are Afrocentric like Limon where the population is mostly Afro Caribbean Hispanic.
- Healing and joy: Immersion trips allow you to escape stress, recharge, and reclaim joy while learning a valuable skill. I’ve seen it each time I’ve taken students. They absolutely love the moments that I weave in for them to explore and to relax and take a break from every day life.

The Power of Immersion in Learning Spanish
Apps and textbooks can only get you so far. Immersion accelerates your growth because you’re:
✓ Hearing Spanish every day in real contexts (restaurants, markets, excursions).
✓ Speaking without fear, since you’ll practice with me and the group in a supportive space.
✓ Living the culture, which means you don’t just learn the words — you feel them.
By the time you leave Costa Rica, you’ll be amazed at how naturally Spanish flows from your lips.

Taking this Spanish for Black Girls course has been a rewarding experience. I loved being part of a supportive community which made learning more enjoyable. The course was challenging and I appreciated the flexibility to go at my own pace. While I know I still have more to learn, I can confidently say I’m much further along than when I started. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and excited to keep going!
