Día de Mu***os at Habla is not a performance to observe from the outside.

It’s an opportunity to learn, reflect, connect, and experience one of Mexico’s most meaningful traditions through language, community, food, and art.

Presale is now open for our 2026 Día de Mu***os Spanish Immersion program in Merida. Register before September for $75 off regular pricing.

For the educators in our community, we know that study abroad is about more than a change of scenery, it’s about finding a place where students can learn and grow.

At Habla, we specialize in study abroad programs by-design. Think of us as your partners on the ground. We can coordinate impactful internships, hands-on workshops in the arts and sciences, and provide a supportive homestay program to ensure your students are immersed in the culture from day one.

Whether you bring your own curriculum or collaborate with our team of highly-skilled educators, we provide the infrastructure and the heart for a life-changing experience.

This summer, we’re stepping away from the screen.

The 2026 Habla Teacher Institute is an invitation to educators of all disciplines to rediscover the tactile side of learning. Under this year’s theme, Lost Words, we are putting down the screens and picking up paint, stone, wood, and thread—not as “crafts,” but as tools to recover our students’ attention. 

Over five days through a project-based learning lens, you will explore how to design interdisciplinary classrooms that bridge the gap between their lived worlds and creative potential.

Whether you’re in K-12 education or higher ed, and whether you teach science, art, or humanities, we invite you to come learn by doing, and rediscover the creative heart of your profession.

Learn more at the link in our bio.

¡Nuevo taller con incoming!

Muros Sin Fronteras es una experiencia artística binacional donde jóvenes de Mérida y Chicago se encuentran para explorar el muralismo, el arte urbano, la identidad y la comunidad a través del arte colaborativo.

En este espacio, las y los estudiantes crearán sus propias obras inspiradas en el graffiti, el muralismo mexicano, el stencil y artistas urbanos contemporáneos. Lo más bonito: lo harán mientras intercambian ideas con jóvenes de otra cultura.

A través de retratos a gran escala, narrativas visuales y murales colectivos, los y las participantes descubrirán cómo el arte es el puente perfecto para conectar comunidades, compartir historias y, sobre todo, romper fronteras.

“Sé hablar inglés, pero me falta… algo.”

We’ve heard that before. For advanced learners, the challenge isn’t the grammar, it’s finding the confidence to share your ideas without translating in your head.

That’s exactly why we created the English Conversation Club. This is a space to refresh your skills, connect with other advanced speakers, and find your natural voice under the guidance of ESL expert Diane Grondin.

It’s intentional, it’s small (max 8 people), and it’s right here at Habla. ¿Vienes a platicar?

The Details: 
🗓️ Dates: May 23 - June 20 (Saturdays) 
⏰ Times: 10:00 - 11:25 OR 11:35 - 13:00 
👥 Level: C1 (Advanced) 
💰 Cost: $2,000 MXN

Send us a DM to grab your spot and start speaking conversationally.
