About us
Hola, we're Vokally, a Spanish-learning academy for busy adults based in Austin๐
This group is meant to host free events, conversation practice, and live Spanish classes for the Austin community. Some are workshops on specific topics (past tenses, your first conversation, family Spanish). Others are casual meetups and Living the Language experiences around the city.
Vokally started in 2016 as a solo tutor meeting students in coffee shops and public libraries. 10 years and 300+ students later, we're a team of four instructors from Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela, teaching a proven 4-phase curriculum in small, live classes, both in person and online.
We want this group to be a place to learn, meet other adult learners, and see whether our teaching style is a fit for you.
Just good Spanish, good people, and a real path forward.
