Our Story

We teach Spanish the way it's lived.

Born in the mountains of Colombia, built for curious minds around the world.

Carlos Herrera, founder and educational director of Español con Sabor
Fundador

Carlos Herrera

Founder & Lead Instructor · Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴

🎓 MA Linguistics, Univ. de Antioquia 📜 DELE Certified Examiner ⭐ 10+ Years Teaching
"I didn't just want to teach grammar rules. I wanted to share the music, the warmth, the joy of speaking Spanish the way we Colombians do — with heart."

Carlos founded Español con Sabor in 2016 after years of teaching in international schools across Bogotá and Medellín. Frustrated by textbook-heavy approaches that left students sounding robotic, he developed a cultural immersion methodology that weaves Colombian music, literature, food, and daily life into every lesson.

Today, the school has grown to a team of 8 certified teachers, 500+ students from 12 countries, and a mission: make Colombian Spanish accessible, joyful, and genuinely transformative.
