Spanish Sin Pena isn't a typical class...
Our program was created for Latine/x's & Allies that struggle with Spanish. Having Spanish as part of your heritage, we recognize that learning it can be a lot to process. A lot comes up around identity, family, cultura, racisim, assimilation etc.
Our mission is to continue creating & building a safe place for you to learn & practice. It can feel isolating being told you're not Latino/a enough, there's fears of judgement & shame.

Spanish Sin Pena isn't a typical class...
The most common thing we hear in our classes when we're all sharing our story is:
"I thought I was the only one!" or "that's my families story too!" It's so validating knowing you're not alone. You have a community to share, ask questions & grow with. It is possible for you to Speak Spanish with confidence!!
Let's do this together!
Let's ask questions, make music videos, interview loved ones, write poems, binge netflix, paint, share traditions, discuss the political climate!

What Our Students Have to Say??
For our final assignment we asked students to share what they’ve learned from our program and Karlita created this AMAZING music video!
"I decided to do a rap for the program @spanishsinpena where I was completely focused on reclaiming my mother’s language. Combatting the assimilation I experienced in this country, its been a journey discovering and uncovering mi idioma y cultura. To get to this point has been incredibly powerful." - Karlita
