From awkward first phrases to everyday conversations, we’re learning Spanish as a family before long-term travel. Here’s how we’re making it doable (and even fun).
We’re prepping for a year of travel through Latin America, and we don’t want to rely on Google Translate. Learning Spanish as a family is helping us feel more confident, connected, and ready to engage with the culture (and people) around us.
We’ve been using TalkBox.Mom to build our Spanish skills one step at a time. Here’s what we love about it:
Drop your email below and grab our freebie
Using phrases at home instead of memorising vocab
Letting the kids lead with silly words and songs
Speaking bad Spanish anyway (because that’s how you learn)
You don’t have to be fluent—you just have to start. Whether you’re planning a trip or just want to bring Spanish into your home, we’re sharing tools that work (and the ones that didn’t).

This isn’t a sponsored pitch. This is just what’s worked for us.
TalkBox.Mom helps families speak real Spanish that they’ll actually use. No grammar lectures or flashcard drills. It’s fun, flexible, and the kids are into it. That’s a win in our books.
It’s also affordable, and the best part? You go at your own pace. Whether you’re planning a trip or just want to bring a second language into your home, it’s made this journey a whole lot easier and a lot more fun.
We’re documenting our progress as we prepare for our big adventure in August. Check out our blog posts for tips, resources, and updates on how we’re learning Spanish as a family. You’ll find advice on:
Follow us on Instagram and TikTok for daily snippets, fun videos, and more from our Spanglish journey. Join us as we share our wins, struggles, and everything in between!
If you’re ready to bring a new language into your home, we can’t recommend TalkBox.Mom enough.
It’s helped us go from zero to speaking practical Spanish in just a few weeks and we’re excited to see how far we’ll go by the time we start traveling.
Why not start your own language journey today?
Hi, we’re TravelVentureFour a not-so-ordinary family of four getting ready to swap routines for backpacks and Netflix nights for jungle hikes. We’re Sean, Tania, Atticus (7), and Aurelia (5), and in August 2025, we’re heading off on a year(ish) of slow travel through South and Central America. No trust funds here, just big dreams, small backpacks, and a whole lot of figuring it out as we go. Join us as we prep, learn, laugh, and probably get lost… a lot.
