What you’ll do and learn

We’ll focus on introductions, small talk that deepens connections, and how to be helpful and polite in family and social settings. You’ll practice the Spanish you need to join conversations, give compliments, accept or decline invitations, and handle sensitive moments gracefully.

We’ll also explore cultural differences in relationships. Dating in Bolivia often involves close family ties, more traditional etiquette, and unspoken expectations. You’ll learn the language of cariño words, how to communicate affection respectfully, and how to navigate meeting your partner’s family without awkwardness.

Beyond romance, you’ll cover respectful etiquette: greetings, mealtimes, gifts, photos, and how to ask about traditions. You’ll also learn how to use WhatsApp voice notes naturally — a cornerstone of maintaining relationships with friends, partners, and family.
