Ahoy! Let's embark on a journey called LIFE ☀️
Spanish · French · English
I help Latin American learners become more comfortable in English or French — by talking about things that are actually part of life.
Conversation, culture, food and real situations. Cooking can be part of the lesson, but it never has to be.
€35/ hour
A focused hour built around you, your goals and the language you want to use in real life.
About
I'm Leoncio. I speak Spanish, French and English, and I've spent a lot of my life moving between countries, languages and different kinds of work.
My professional background is hospitality and cooking. I've worked in restaurants and seasonal kitchens in Europe and the United States, including work rooted in French cuisine.
That background shapes how I coach. I like practical conversations, useful expressions, cultural details and the small things that make a language feel less foreign.
I don't want our hour to feel like you are sitting through another school lesson. I want you to leave having actually used the language.
Why work with me?
€35/hour is not for a worksheet and a list of homework. It is for a private session shaped around how you want to communicate.
Spanish is the language I can use to understand where many Latin American learners are coming from. French and English are the languages we can build together. That makes it easier to compare, explain and keep a conversation moving.
Knowing the correct sentence is one thing. Knowing what someone would actually say is another. I want us to work on that second part.
Cooking is not a gimmick I added to language lessons. It comes from my professional life in hospitality and kitchens, and from the way I naturally connect food, people and conversation.
Living and working internationally taught me that language is tied to habits, humour, politeness, expectations and context. Those things are part of becoming comfortable, too.
Coaching
You don't need to be interested in cooking. You do need to be willing to use the language.
For learners who understand more English than they comfortably speak and want to change that.
For learners who want to stop translating everything in their head and start responding more naturally.
We cook something together and use the recipe as a reason to speak, listen, explain, ask and learn.
Culture & cuisine
A recipe gives us verbs. A market gives us questions. A restaurant gives us etiquette. A meal gives us stories. And once there is something real to talk about, the language has somewhere to go.
The approach
Maybe you want to speak more easily, prepare for a trip, handle work conversations or simply stop feeling stuck when someone answers you quickly.
We talk, I correct you where it matters, we look at useful expressions, and we bring in culture or cooking when it helps the lesson.
You should finish the session knowing what you can say more confidently than when you arrived — and what is worth practising next.
What a session feels like
01 · Your interests
Travel, work, food, everyday life, culture — we use subjects that give you something genuine to say.
02 · Your language
Corrections are there to help you communicate better, not to interrupt every sentence.
03 · Your progress
We keep track of the expressions, patterns and areas that are actually worth working on.
Journal
This is where I’ll write about the things I use in coaching: expressions, cultural habits, recipes and observations from living between languages.
A note on the gap between knowing a language and using it comfortably.
Some of the most useful language lessons live in the details that dictionaries don't explain.
Ingredients, instructions, timing, taste and conversation — all in one hour.
