Are you ready to break your intermediate barrier as a
Spanish learner?

• You have to demonstrate B1 level (lower-intermediate) by taking our placement test (approximately 20 minutes to complete).
• In addition, you should have at least 12 hours a week to practice Spanish. However, we recommend 15+ to really see great results because consistency and time with language is key.
• You must be available to join the three workshops every week: Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM ET, and Saturday from 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET.

• If you reach an overall mastery level of B2+ in our SpanishSmash app by July 2nd, 2026 11:59PM PT, we will have considered you to have accomplished your goal! If not, you can ask for your money back!

In order to complete and graduate the bootcamp (and therefore qualify for our guarantee), you need to meet the following requirements:

Attendance Requirements:

• Attendance at all scheduled workshops (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday sessions).
• No more than 7 total absences from required workshops over the 6-month period.
• Attendance counts when you are there for the entire session.

Independent Work Requirements:

• Complete 70% of assigned independent exercises on Aura's Insight platform.
• Minimum 5 SpanishSmash sessions per week with targeted feedback analysis.
• No more than 2 weeks with fewer than 5 SpanishSmash sessions during the entire program.

Project Completion Requirements:

• Complete all 6 three-week projects according to specified requirements.
• Projects are evaluated for completion, not CEFR level.
• Meet all project deadlines and submission requirements.

Communication and Participation:

• Active participation in community discussions and workshops.
• Respectful engagement with instructors and fellow cohort members.
• Timely response to instructor feedback and communication.
• Not violating our code of conduct.

• If you're close to B1 but not quite ready, we recommend spending substantial time listening to content at your current level. Visit Aura's Insight website for Spanish content or the SpanishSmash YouTube channel.

• SpanishSmash AI Speaking Practice App: You get free access during the entire cohort duration. Practice speaking and receive detailed feedback. You'll use this tool at least 5 times weekly to practice, review your analysis, and improve.
• Aura's Insight Learning Community: Content and course organization platform where you'll access materials and receive most of our curriculum. You'll also be able to communicate with other course members here.
• Live Workshops: We run live workshops on Zoom three times per week.
• 1:1 Coaching: You'll have weekly office hours with Rod and Aura for 30 minutes. We'll discuss your progress, provide guidance, and give you opportunities to ask questions and practice.

Required Synchronous Time:

• Other exercises, workshops, and project work: at least 5 hours
• Independent practice commitment: 6 hours 40 minutes - 7 hours 30 minutes

When you reach B2+ within the six-month timeframe, you'll receive:

• Free access to special B2+ to C1 Learning Packs in SpanishSmash (Medical Spanish, Business Spanish, Deep Vocabulary Builder Pack, etc.) - $250 value
• Three years of access to SpanishSmash and Aura's Insight Learning Community for unlimited practice

Absolutely - here's why this timeline is realistic:

• Intensive focus: 12-15 hours/week vs. typical 2-3 hours
• Expert guidance: No time wasted on ineffective methods - you'll know exactly what to do
• AI tools plus trained experts: Great feedback to identify improvement areas quickly
• Community accountability: Peer support keeps you motivated
• Proven curriculum: Based on the latest second language acquisition research

Previous programs probably failed because they lacked:

• Precision feedback: Generic responses don't identify YOUR specific issues
• Community accountability: Self-study apps can't replicate peer motivation
• Expert guidance: AI alone isn't enough - you need human insight
• Systematic progression: Random lessons don't create breakthrough momentum

SpanishSmash Bootcamp combines ALL four of these elements.

We are an online course, but there are different types of online courses and bootcamps. We offer our money-back guarantee because of our unique combination of systems:

• Live instruction: 3x weekly interactive workshops, not recorded videos
• Real community: Small cohort that learns together, not anonymous forums
• Personal attention: Weekly 1:1 office hours, not automated responses
• Latest assessment tools: SpanishSmash technology
• Accountability: Requirements and deadlines, not "learn at your own pace"

If you're truly busy and don't need B2+ in this timeframe, this bootcamp isn't for you. However, if you suspect it might be an excuse, consider:

• Front-loaded investment: 6 months of intensity vs. years of slow progress
• Career ROI: B2+ Spanish often leads to promotions, raises, and new opportunities
• Time efficiency: Expert guidance means no wasted effort on wrong methods
• Alternative: Continue with 2-3 hours/week and reach B2+ in 3-5 years... maybe

Built-in support systems include:

• Flexible attendance: 7 absences allowed over 6 months
• Make-up sessions: Recorded workshops + individual catch-up time
• Peer support: 24 other students facing similar challenges
• Expert help: Weekly office hours + chat support from Rod & Aura

The requirements are designed for your success, not to avoid refunds:

• Why attendance matters: You can't learn Spanish from a couch
• Why practice matters: Consistency builds fluency faster than cramming
• Why projects matter: Projects simulate real-world application, which cements learning
• Why participation matters: Community learning accelerates progress

If you truly cannot dedicate the time, this course isn't right for you at this moment. Our goal is your success, not keeping your money. The requirements ensure you give yourself the best chance to achieve B2+.

Everything is designed for simplicity:

• Learning Management System (LMS): Everything organized in one central location
• Zoom workshops: Just click a link to join (same link every session)
• SpanishSmash app: Intuitive interface, works on any device
