Everything you want to know.

Lessons take place via video call (Zoom, Google Meet, or your preferred platform). You'll receive a link before each session. No special software needed — just a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and can be scheduled at times that work for your timezone.

Not at all. Daniel teaches students at every level, from absolute beginners who have never spoken a word of Spanish to advanced learners refining their fluency. Before your first lesson, he'll assess your current level through a brief conversation to understand exactly where to start.

Simply reach out through the contact form or email salinas@brillaspanish.com to schedule your free introductory session. Daniel will respond within 24 hours to confirm availability and set up your first meeting.

For most students, 2–3 sessions per week produces the best results — enough frequency to build momentum without overwhelming your schedule. That said, even one lesson per week produces meaningful progress over time. Daniel will recommend a realistic frequency based on your goals and availability.

Yes — completely. Every lesson is built around your specific goals, learning style, and current level. Daniel doesn't use a fixed curriculum or pre-made lesson packs. If you want to focus on travel vocabulary this week and business phrases next week, that's exactly what you'll get.

Daniel provides all learning materials digitally — no textbook purchases required. You may want a notebook for vocabulary notes, but everything else is handled. Materials are shared through Google Docs, PDFs, or your preferred format.

Most students can hold simple conversations in Spanish within 4–8 weeks of consistent practice (2–3 sessions/week). Real conversational fluency typically develops between 3–6 months. Progress depends on your starting level, study frequency, and how much you practice between sessions.

Anyone. Daniel has taught children, teenagers, working professionals, retirees, travelers, healthcare workers, and heritage speakers reconnecting with their roots. There is no ideal student — just someone willing to show up and practice.

Yes. Daniel offers a free 20-minute introductory session for all new students. This session has no commitment — it's simply a chance to meet, discuss your goals, assess your level, and decide together whether Brilla Spanish is the right fit.

Life happens. Daniel asks for 24 hours notice for cancellations when possible. Sessions cancelled with adequate notice can be rescheduled at no charge.
