It can enhance our work portfolio, expand our circle of friends, and elevate our relationships to a more meaningful level.

Introducing Soulful Spanish Immersion Classes

Welcome to a different kind of Spanish class—one that moves with you, breathes with the jungle, and connects you to the heart of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.

Soulful Spanish offers immersive, one-of-a-kind language experiences that blend Spanish learning with cultural exploration. Whether you’re sipping coffee in a village café, hiking through lush trails, or sharing stories with locals around a fire, you’ll be learning and speaking Spanish in real-life, meaningful ways.

These aren’t just classes—they’re experiences tailored to your level, pace, and curiosity. With over 25 years of teaching experience, I’ll guide you through personalized lessons and adventures that bring language, land, and culture together.

Step off the tourist path. Dive into language with purpose.
Let’s make Spanish a soulful journey.

PROGRAMS TAILORED Specially for YOU

Soulful Spanish Lessons embodies a learner-centered education approach where the student leads and the teacher supports and mentors. We acknowledge language as a rich human expression where a diversity of styles of learning, interests, pace and needs are always present and celebrated. Our classes are mindfully and holistically tailored to the individual student. Our books and other learning materials will then, and only, support this endeavor.

“Pelican is not just a teacher of the Spanish language (though she is the most exceptional Spanish teacher I have experienced). She also imparts the true spirit of the culture and the philosophy with poetic grace and strength. She is one of the most exquisite and fascinating human beings I have ever met.

"Almost 20 years ago, I met Pelican when she became my Spanish teacher. What I loved about her then and love about her now is her wonderful energy and style of teaching - she is patient and positive and uses many tools to ensure you master the language. Once I got to the advanced level, she took time to plan lessons that helped me to speak Spanish for business. I gained confidence through her. I also gained a lifetime friend."
