At Haku Spanish, mistakes aren’t just allowed—they’re celebrated. This is a judgment-free zone where every misstep is seen as a stepping stone toward fluency.
As Thomas Edison once said when asked about his failed attempts to invent the lightbulb:
"I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
Mistakes are not setbacks—they’re signs that you’re showing up, trying something new, and building the habits that lead to real progress. As Albert Einstein reminded us:
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
Here, we honor your effort, support your journey, and help you turn each mistake into momentum.

Matthew (World Traveler)
“I cannot imagine a better teacher. Gabriela keeps classes engaging and interesting through diverse topics, masterful teaching, and her own charisma. She often shares her screen as we go over PowerPoint presentations with different themes building off of previously earned skills. We analyze letters, poems, songs, and short videos from different Spanish-speaking nations and she is always quick to bring to the fore the importance of cultural differences, especially as it relates to language. She is very flexible and always ready to adapt to my needs. For example, when I mentioned that I needed more review of a particular topic she was ready to do so and when I wanted to learn more about how to tell stories or anecdotes she accommodated that. If all teachers were like Gabriela, then there truly would be no students left behind or clueless.”
Tina (Accountant)
"Gabriela is an amazing teacher. She really cares about her students and their success. She had given me so many great lessons and shared valuable tools with me. Her patience and sense of humor makes for the most productive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. I am not easy to teach because I am often hesitant and stubborn and she has helped me in these areas immensely by providing a SAFE place for mistakes and growth. I highly recommend her."
Glenn (Retired)
"I've completed a ten session package of lessons with Gabriela and have learned a great deal due to her patient and challenging teaching methods. She is extremely good at explaining difficult concepts. She is always very well prepared with her lessons. I plan to continue with our lessons toward my goal of becoming a fluent Spanish speaker."
Robert (Businessman)
"Gabriela has the traits of an excellent teacher. She's patient, professional and diligent in her quest to teach you her native language. Simply put, a top notch teacher who will help you reach your Spanish speaking goals."
Stephen (Nurse)
"It was everything I thought it would be and more, I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching and this was borne out by the fact that the time seemed to fly in. We learned vowels and their sounds in Spanish as opposed to the English sound and how these vowels are expressed in words. We then moved onto consonants and again their sound in Spanish as compared to the English. After this it was onto the numbers and again we practiced their pronunciation and spelling. Gabriela is very patient and gives plenty of praise and feedback throughout the session. She is very clear in her speech and therefore no-one should have any trouble understanding her wonderful English spoken word. You also get homework to do, which keeps you honest in your learning in between classes. Really looking forward to learning Spanish with Gabriela."
