La Casa Rojas is an on-line Spanish Language Learning system created by Luis and Joan Rojas. Peruvian Luis and Minnesotan Joan, model Spanish Language teaching and learning through encouraging the use of a student’s personal life context as the primary language laboratory. Luis takes this authentic material and guides the Spanish Student to experience the Hispanic perspective.

Select Spanish Language Videos by grammar topic; tenses, parts of speech, common expressions, pronunciation, etc. By sorting in this way, a more advanced student can get an easy tune-up by reviewing concepts gone by and a beginner can gain more insight by reviewing what’s ahead.

Start at the beginning and move numerically through the videos to help you build, step by step, your ability to speak and understand Spanish. You’ll see that we've started at the beginning and are working up towards some pretty advanced stuff and at only 10 minutes a day, this program can function as a stand-alone Spanish learning system, a great refresher, or an amazing supplement to what you are learning in another class.

This is where the rubber hits the road, why you want to learn Spanish at all. Reading and listening to articles written and voice-recorded by native speakers of a variety of Latin American countries will help you stay grounded in the real Spanish-speaking world. This is how Spanish is written, spoken and sounds. This is what these Hispanic contributors think, what is customary in their home, what they’d like you to know about them and their culture.

Luis is a storyteller and there is nothing that gets him going like an audience. It seems there is no end to what interests him. He’ll do his best to captivate your attention while giving you the opportunity to hear Spanish as it’s really spoken. Three main line of thoughts: the stories of students of Spanish, the Hispanics in their counties and the immigrants.

Joan knew NO Spanish and Luis, just a bit of English when they met. Since they chose to live and work in MN after they married, Luis’ English had to get up to speed first. Only then could Joan begin to tackle Spanish. And once they could understand one another, they had to deal with all of the cultural difference that loomed between them. This Blog is Joan’s therapy and she’s invited you to the sessions.

Our blog called Viajando en Español contain posts on a broad range of topics that revolve around the process of learning Spanish. It can be invigorating, frustrating, satisfying, hysterical. The process is as human as a process can be and it helps a lot to share the ups and the downs and the sideways.

So Luis and I were sitting around one evening with nothing to do (Ha!) and we were thinking … wouldn't it be cool if we could invite ALL of our Students from all over world to our place – all at the same time so that we could sit around the kitchen counter for a cozy chat about Spanish? So we asked ourselves, why not do a LIVE Call-in Show? Cool, huh?
