Spanish through culture, history and the arts Hello! I’m Juan Francisco, a writer and Spanish teacher based in Mexico City. I have published two books and contribute regularly to some of Mexico’s leading art magazines. I believe in learning languages through works of art, attentive reading and listening, and real conversations about topics that move us. Staying attuned to the cultural life of the city and the country—its literature, film, exhibitions, politics, and history—is vital to me, and I enjoy bringing that perspective into my lessons. I work especially well with students who are eager to engage with Mexican and Latin American culture in a deeper way. Whether you're interested in literature, politics, cinema, history, or everyday life in Mexico City, our sessions can become a space for thoughtful exchange. I also enjoy sharing recommendations for books, films, or even places to eat, drink and visit. I hold a degree in Latin American Studies and a certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, both from UNAM. I’ve been teaching since 2017, and I’ve studied several languages myself—so I understand both the intellectual and emotional dimensions of the learning process. I find grammar fascinating and can help clarify complex points when needed, always in the context of meaningful conversation.

Meine erste Unterrichtsstunde mit Juan Francisco war ein sehr interessantes Gespräch auf Augenhöhe. Er hat authentisches Interesse an mir, meinen Interessen und Zielen gezeigt und konnte mir viele Tipps und Anregungen geben, wie ich weiter lernen kann und welche Zeitschriften, Musikgruppen, Podcasts und Bücher für mich interessant sein könnten. Ich möchte gerne mehr von diesem großartigen Menschen lernen!
