About this proyect
Did you know that Spanish is the most spoken language on the American continent, the second most spoken language as a native language, and the fourth most spoken language in the world?
This wide diffusion has led to a rich diversity of varieties, such as Castilian, Latin American Spanish, and, of course, Colombian Spanish. It is precisely because of this richness and diversity that Spanish a la Colombiana was born, a project dedicated to teaching Colombian Spanish in all its dimensions.

Funder and Spanish teacher Spanish a la Colombiana
¡Hola, mucho gusto! ☀️ I'm Marisol Contreras, a woman born and raised in the south of Bogotá. I managed to get into a public university in the capital, Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, and although graduating as a Spanish teacher wasn't easy due to various economic and social challenges, the motivation to be the first professional in my family helped me persevere. That same passion led me to create this project, through which I share my culture and creativity with the world while learning about other cultures and worldviews from my own country.
In addition, I teach Spanish courses at all levels at a prestigious university in Chía, Cundinamarca where I prepare students for placement exams, exchanges, tourism, and language immersion. I stay at the forefront of teaching with courses from Instituto Caro y Cuervo, Universidad del Externado and Universidad del Rosario, institutions that are pioneers in training Spanish teachers in Colombia.
I deeply love my work and give my best to make this project a quality space where our students gain confidence in communicating in this wonderful language. Thank you for reading! 💛
