What we’re about
💃 Language can't be learned in a vacuum, so come join us at Gringo Language Academy to practice your Spanish with some real live humans! (Sorry, Big Green Bird...)
🗣️ Whether for school or work, an upcoming trip, to connect with new friends, or just not lose the skills you've worked so hard to attain, these outings and virtual events are a great way to sharp and share your love of the language.
😃 Regardless of your level, novice to native, we would love for you to join us and jugar o charlar un poquito.
☕ Whether "café y conversación" to start your day, or a movie night with "copas y juegos" afterwards, ven, y disfruta un poco con nosotros.

Multilingualism inspires a new format of creative writing.
This workshop celebrates multilingual voices and poetic expression. Participants are invited to write poetry in any language, or mix languages, through playful prompts, simple poetic forms, and exploration of sound, rhythm, and voice. The session welcomes language learners, bilingual and heritage speakers, and monolingual English speakers alike. It’s a space to experiment, reflect, and enjoy the creative freedom that poetry allows.
Silvi Galmozzi is a local multilingual writer, language educator, and founder of Sinagazi LLC, a bilingual publishing house. Her work blends language acquisition and creative expression, helping adults connect to their multilingual stories through poetry, narrative, and reflection.
