Conversación en español con Rudy
Linguallama Academy, 1 University Plaza Dr Ste 106, Hackensack, NJ 07601, USA, Hackensack, NJ, USHave you ever known what you wanted to say in Spanish but couldn’t find the words? Bring that thought—and your questions—to a conversation with Rudy!
At Linguallama Academy, we’ll practice Spanish through conversations about everyday life, work, personal experiences, and the topics you bring to the table. Want to explain something to a coworker, tell a story, or find a more natural way to express an idea? Rudy, a native Spanish speaker, will help you put it into words with practical feedback on vocabulary, pronunciation, and phrasing.
Along the way, we’ll explore Latin American cultures: everyday expressions, customs, and how language changes across countries and situations.
Come with a question, a story, or something you’ve been trying to say. Let’s talk it through—in Spanish!
