Meet the founders of All In Spanish Academy — Ione and Cris — and discover their stories

From language struggles to life
changing transformations

We know what it feels like to hit a wall with a language because we’ve both been there.

We’ve experienced the frustration, the fear of making mistakes, and the feeling of being stuck in someone else’s country, unable to express who you really are. But we also know what’s on the other side: connection, confidence, and freedom


And that’s exactly what we want for you.

Ione’s Story: from struggling to
thriving in languages

Hi there! I’m Ione. My story with languages started early in life, growing up between Barcelona and Navarra, I was surrounded by Spanish, Catalan, and Basque. It came naturally… until it didn’t.

I spent years caught in traditional methods that felt dry, repetitive, and disconnected from real life. I was tired of memorizing instead of speaking, tired of rules instead of confidence.

Everything changed when I moved to Ireland. Immersed in English, I finally found my way of learning and teaching. I realized that language isn’t just grammar and vocabulary. It’s identity. It’s emotion. It’s human connection.

Now, I help others move past frustration and into real fluency through a method that’s practical, flexible, and focused on who you are.

Cristina’s Story: from self doubt to
empowerment

Hey! I’m Cristina. My journey started with one decision at Dublin Airport in 2012. I knew just one word in English (“HEEEEELLOOO”), but I knew I wanted more from life.

So I learned. I worked. I failed. I kept going. I built the life I wanted first in Madrid, then in Andalusia, and through that process, I discovered my true calling: helping others break their own barriers.

In 2020, I launched my own online Spanish academy, working with expats who reminded me so much of myself years ago, full of potential, but blocked by fear and uncertainty.
Now, together with Ione, we’ve built something even bigger.

Together, we are All in Spanish

After years of working independently, we joined forces to create something more powerful:

A real solution for English-speaking professionals in Spain who want to stop surviving and start living.
Because this isn’t just about speaking Spanish.

It’s about feeling like yourself again in a new country, in a new culture, in a new language.

At All in Spanish, we promise you:

No judgment

No unnecessary theory

No pressure to be perfect

Just smart, supportive, human learning and the confidence you’ve been looking for.

We’ve walked this path ourselves. Now it’s your turn.


Let us show you how good life in Spain can feel when you speak it.
