We Believe

Foreign languages should be accessible to children at the earliest opportunity as their benefits are endless.

Our Story

Behind Say Hola With Me, there are Ana and Leticia, two Spanish friends who have put together all their knowledge and experience with children to create a space with sensory,  expressive, and physical activities while learning Spanish. 
It was in the period when both became mothers for the first time when Leticia and Ana met and Say Hola With Me foundations started. From dream to reality, Say Hola With Me has started its journey in Edinburgh to bring you a fresh experience, a new way of learning and fun for everyone.

As parents, we noticed a big need within our Spanish community in Edinburgh. We worried that our little ones could miss their roots and culture as there was not a space where they could develop their heritage language with other children. 

As professionals, we believe that children need time and space to grow. That’s why our sessions are guided but open so the little ones have the freedom to explore themselves. We also understand the importance of exposure to other languages since very little, even if Spanish is not spoken at home. We are not just offering your child the opportunity to learn a new language but a new country and culture.
