Frequently asked questions
Do I need a minimum Spanish level?
Yes, a basic A2. You should be able to form simple sentences, and we'll take care of making them flow. If you're a complete beginner, private classes are a better start.
What happens after I pay?
Right after paying, you'll land on a welcome page with the link to our private WhatsApp group (Google Meet link, schedule and practice materials) and buttons to add your classes to your calendar. Then you just show up and talk.
I paid but closed the welcome page. What do I do?
Don't worry, your spot is safe. Write to us at hola@charlandoando.com from the email you used in PayPal and we'll send you the link to your welcome page and the WhatsApp group.
When are the classes?
There are 2 live classes every week at fixed times, with one group for the Americas and one for Europe. You can see them in your own time zone in the schedule above.
What if I can't make a class?
No problem. With 8 classes a month you can simply join the next one. Each class works on its own, so you won't fall behind.
How many people are in a class?
Up to 10 students join each class. You're split into breakout rooms of 3-4, your teacher rotates between rooms, and everyone comes back together for a correction round at the end.
I'm B2. Will the classes be too easy?
No. Everyone works on the same topic, but you're placed in a breakout room matched to your level, so the conversation stays challenging.
Will the founder price go up later?
The founder price is only for the first 20 members. If you're one of them, your $29/month stays locked for as long as you keep renewing each month.
How do I cancel?
There's nothing to cancel: payments don't renew automatically. A few days before your month ends, we email you the link to pay the next one. If you want to stop, simply don't pay.
Your Spanish is ready. Let's use it.
Join the founding group for $29/month and speak real Spanish twice a week, starting this week.
