You follow the conversation, recognize the grammar, and know what you want to say, but when it’s your turn to speak, your mind goes blank — a frustrating gap that doesn’t mean you need to start over, only that you haven’t had the right kind of practice yet
And chances are, you already understand a lot
That’s what we focus on!
This might be you...
You live in Mexico — or visit often
Your coworkers switch to Spanish and you try to follow along, nodding confidently while translating in your head
Your friends laugh at jokes you almost understand — and you laugh too, just in case
Someone important in your life is Mexican
Something about the way Spanish sounds just stayed with you
You fell in love with Mexican music and finally want to know what the lyrics actually mean
We work in small groups, speak a lot, build confidence step by step with consistent, guided practice —especially with Mexican Spanish and real-life conversations
We use an interactive platform called Miro to store all the materials. It also lets students and the teacher collaborate in real time, all in one place
All materials in Miro
What to expect from the classes
Each session is recorded, so if you can’t join live, you’ll have unlimited access to the replay — watch it anytime, catch up at your own pace, and stay in sync with the group
Online classes via Zoom
In class, we speak a lot, practice real-life situations, share our thoughts and ideas, and little by little build confidence speaking Spanish
We don’t stick to just one textbook. Instead, we blend the best materials from different books with unique resources from our own collection
Clear, step-by-step explanations and engaging, practical exercises that make grammar easy to understand, remember, and actually use in real conversations
Special materials
We love sharing authentic Mexican words, colorful expressions, and fascinating cultural insights that bring the language to life!

About us
How it started
Platicali was created by Alina, a Spanish teacher with 8+ years of experience teaching students from all over the world.
After moving from Russia to Mexico, she fell in love with Mexican Spanish — its expressions, humor, and the way language connects to everyday life and culture.
Today, Platicali is a small team of experienced Mexican teachers from different parts of Mexico, united by a love for teaching and Mexican Spanish.

Why “Platicali”?
The name comes from two ideas we love:
Platicar — to chat, talk, or have a conversation, Calli — "house" in Nahuatl, one of the Indigenous languages that has shaped the Spanish spoken in Mexico.
We chose these words because we want Platicali to feel like a little house: a comfortable place where you can practice, make mistakes, ask questions, laugh, and connect with others.

A little piece of Mexico
We wanted our visual identity to have a little piece of Mexico in it too. Our logo is inspired by a Talavera tile, and the sun in the center represents the warm and welcoming atmosphere we want to create. Even though our classes happen online, we hope that every time you join us, you feel like you’ve been transported to Mexico for a little while.
What we believe
Spanish is spoken in more than 20 countries, and every variety has its own vocabulary, expressions, pronunciation, and culture.
At Platicali, we focus on Mexican Spanish and believe that learning a language should be more than memorizing rules. It should help you understand, communicate, and feel more connected to the Spanish-speaking people around you.

We teach general Spanish, but with a special focus on Mexican Spanish — its culture, expressions, and humor.
All our students have an account on our platform, where they can find all the links, materials, and payment information. You can also pay for your classes directly on the platform using any bank card.
At the moment, we only work with adult learners. We do have experience working with teenagers, but teaching young children isn’t our area of expertise!
There’s no fixed start date. As soon as a new group forms, we start! We’ll do our best to find a group that matches your level and schedule as quickly as possible.
Our courses don’t have a set end date — you can keep learning as long as you want. Many students stay for months or even years, gradually moving to higher levels.
