If your goal is to improve your Spanish, come on in
The water’s just fine.
I get it––the ups, the downs, and everything in between when you’re trying to make real progress in Spanish.
As a native English speaker, I’ve hit plenty of roadblocks myself.
At some point, you reach a stage where the next big leap feels just out of reach.
You’ve studied the grammar, built a solid foundation, and yet…something still isn’t clicking.
You know a breakthrough is just around the corner––
you can feel it. But getting there? That’s the tricky part.
For me, and for dozens of my students, that breakthrough happened when reading and writing became a main focus.
It was like something unlocked, and suddenly, everything started falling into place.
Still, I remember staring at El Cuaderno de Noah, feeling totally intimidated.
It was a huge leap from my leveled readers.
The sentences were longer, the words less familiar, and I couldn’t breeze through it like I had before.
I kept wondering, Am I really ready for this?
So if that brand-new Spanish book is still sitting on your shelf, untouched, I get it. Here’s why that might be:
★ A wall of unfamiliar words makes reading feel overwhelming.
★ Idioms and cultural references don’t always translate, making the story hard to follow.
★ The pressure to understand everything can take the fun out of reading.
★ Without support, it’s easy to feel stuck, unmotivated, and unsure if you’re even making progress.
★ Impatience creeps in when progress feels slow, and the finish line seems far away.

What other students are saying about ELÉVATE…
Erika
I had not previously been interested in reading and writing in Spanish, but this program is helping me to see how all forms of language - reading, writing, listening - can all contribute to speaking. Also, the structure around reading Dominique creates has allowed me to actually finish an entire chapter book in Spanish. Without Dominique's support, I would have been too intimidated! I also love that I am able to stretch the reading into multiple forms of learning by writing chapter summaries and answering the weekly prompt.
Vanita
Most of the Spanish practice I've done has been through playing games, filling in worksheets, and conjugation tables. I was shocked to find out how powerful writing in Spanish could be. I showed some of my paragraphs to my tutor, and he couldn't believe I knew all those vocabulary words. I kind of surprised myself, too!
Angela
After participating in Elévate, I write faster and don’t second-guess myself as much. I’ve also gotten more patient with reading in Spanish, which means I can stick with it longer.
Melissa
With Elévate I’ve been able to identify gaps in my Spanish that need attention - and those gaps are addressed during the vocabulary and grammar question review. I love that Dominique gives follow-up links and resources to go deeper on certain topics.
Limell
Elévate continues to be the most beneficial language learning experience I’ve ever encountered.
Amanda
My confidence with speaking is slowly improving, primarily as a result of all the writing practice. I’m getting almost daily practice constructing sentences in Spanish, which is absolutely having a spillover effect on my speaking, which is so exciting!Elévate continues to be the most beneficial language learning experience I’ve ever encountered.
Dani
I definitely feel more capable of forming sentences and expressing my thoughts. The weekly summaries have really helped me get better at communicating my thoughts. I know I’ve made huge strides with how multidimensional this program is.”

You might be wondering…
Who is this program for?
ELÉVATE is for intermediate and low-advanced Spanish learners who want to move past stop-and-start learning and build real consistency.
You can choose to take part in all the exercises or just focus on the weekly reading and writing exercises––either way, you’ll get personalized feedback to keep improving.
To get the most out of the program, having a solid grasp of the past tense (preterit and imperfect) is recommended. I cover these in my Simple Spanish Storytelling course.
