 I have been studying Spanish with Edel Galeana since 2019. I met him in Cuernavaca during a two-week Spanish program, where I had the opportunity to study with him for an hour of private class every day. I was impressed by his teaching ability and decided to continue my studies with him via Skype; I believe my Spanish language development has continued to grow under his teaching. 

Deborah Ward Pilates Instructor. British Columbia, Canadá.

 After I retired, I wanted to start speaking Spanish again, but it had been many years that I hadn’t spoken or read it and I was afraid of speaking. For four years I have had private classes from Edel. I have conversation and grammar with him. My ability to speak Spanish has improved a lot and I have more confidence now! I can recommend Edel who is a teacher who strives to offer an excellent service to his students. He matches his teaching style with the ability of each student to learn or improve their Spanish. 

Peggy Todd Retired teacher. Missouri, USA

 I have taken many classes with Professor Edel Galeana for many years and have learned a lot of Spanish on a variety of topics, such as: grammar, expressions, conversations, hobbies, food, etc. I can't wait until I can go back in person to study more with him. I would recommend him to anyone of any level to learn Spanish. He is very patient. 

Joe Canafax Retired person. Texas, USA.

 Edel is an excellent teacher and very kind. He explains very well the grammar, the idioms, and the meanings of the words of how to use them in everyday life; one of the difficult things to learn Spanish, is the use of the subjunctive and he is going to teach you how to use it to incorporate it in your daily conversations, little by little I am using more this verb tense. He always corrects me when I make the mistake of not applying it in the sentences that need it. 

Nerrissa CJ Retired nurse. Texas, USA.

 I have studied Spanish with Edel, and he is a very good and inspiring educator who makes you learn to communicate easily. We met in 2015; during my visits to Cuernavaca. I have studied under his leadership. The teaching contains, both grammar and conversation, as well as reading current articles so that I can know and understand the Mexican culture and how people live and think in the country. I can warmly recommend him as your future teacher. 

Pehr Karell Retired person. Halmstad, Sweden.

 I have been taking online Spanish classes with Edel for a little over a year now. He is such a knowledgeable, organized and fantastic teacher. I studied Spanish in my youth, but hadn't used it for years. I had started studying it and speaking it again for a while and was looking to improve my grammar, vocabulary along with my listening and speaking skills. With him I can cover all of that; he is patient and has a way of explaining anything, which makes it easier to understand. 

Helene Letnick Retired artist. British Columbia, Canada.

 Overcoming a learning plateau can be a daunting task. I considered myself proficient in Spanish, but I struggled to reach the next level. I downloaded several apps, but got bored. Profr. Edel offers classes customized to you, and your needs. We established a plan to focus on my weaknesses. Since I started my classes, I have noticed a significant improvement in my grammar and a boost in my confidence when speaking at work. If you are new to Spanish, or plan to improve your skills, I would highly recommend this program. 

Gabriela Estrada Paho´s employee. Washington, DC. USA

 Retiree, with a passion for Spanish! I have taken several classes with Edel Galeana and have found him to be a very good teacher with good techniques and ideas for teaching Spanish. Also, he is interested not only in teaching Spanish, but in helping the student learn and enjoy the culture of Mexico. I am happy and willing to recommend Edel to anyone who wants to study Spanish. 

Jean Broderick Retired teacher. Colorado, USA.

 I met Edel at the International University of Cuernavaca, Mexico where he was my Spanish teacher. In my opinion he was one of the best teachers in the school and so about 8 years ago. I started doing online classes with him every week. When you study with Edel, it soon becomes evident that teaching is his passion. His knowledge, enthusiasm and patience are remarkable. Oh, and did I mention that he is also fun? 

Sandra Schmid Retired bank employee. British Columbia, Canada.

 I have been studying Spanish for over ten years, and I met Professor Edel in 2012. At the beginning when I started learning Spanish I could not communicate in Spanish well. The classes during the last six years with him have been very successful, and have helped me; not only to maintain what I had learned when I was working abroad, but I was able to improve my level; this achievement is thanks to him! I am very proud of him and his successful business. I hope more students can take advantage of his services. 

Michael Rogers Former diplomátic. Maryland, USA.

 I decided to try a 30-minute class with Edel. At first, I was very nervous. However, Edel quickly established a comfortable learning environment that in not time, I switched to weekly 1-hour lessons. My Spanish has improved greatly. I would highly recommend Edel to anyone who wants to learn or improve their Spanish proficiency. 

Ángela Roberts Retired teacher. Ottawa, Canadá.

 Edel has been a fantastic Spanish teacher over the last 12 months. We have met weekly over Zoom, and he is always patient, informative, and a joy to learn from. Edel has helped me improve my conversational Spanish, sharpen my grammar and concepts, and has provided a warm and friendly environment to learn more about Mexican culture and the world. I greatly value my lessons with him and would recommend his classes to students of any level. 

Dylan Farrell PhD Student, University of Pennsylvania, USA.

 I met Edel in 2018. At that time I wanted to learn Spanish; I thought it was going to be group classes, but I had a week of class with him and I have enjoyed it, he is wonderful conveying the grammar, but mostly what is "behind" the use of Spanish tenses; so you always learn a lot about the Latin culture. The class is usually half an hour conversation and another half hour grammar, text discussion or exercises; each lesson can be organized in a flexible way. I highly recommend him, both for beginners and advanced. 

Isabel Birk Employee. Fráncfort, Germany.

 I studied with Professor Edel Galeana for many years at both a Universidad Internacional and in private, online lessons. He was always the best of teachers. Edel is very knowledgeable in both English and Spanish. In English, we would say "He really knows his stuff.” His excellent approach to teaching, focus on individual needs, and great personality are all combined in his classroom teaching. This professor makes his classes a great learning experience. 

Zephyr Carlyle Retired English teacher. California, USA.

 I have been a student of Edel’s for more 7 years, and is a great teacher. He is kind, patient, and curious. He tailors his classes to meet your needs- whether you want to do more speaking or writing, grammar or more literature. We talk about everything, from culture and history, and Edel is unique among professors. He is able to have such deep but also natural conversations and is also creative. He is passionate about teaching Spanish, and when I visited Cuernavaca, he spent time with me touring nearby sites. I recommend to all. I think he is simply the best and most flexible Spanish professor out there.

OUR HISTORY 
In 2008, after working at Delphi Automotive Systems for 13 years and during the following years, using our experience of more than thirty years, my family and I dedicated ourselves to our dream of opening our own business teaching Spanish classes online or in person, with a focus on reaching students beyond the Mexican borders. We have invested more than three decades in teaching Spanish and we worked to develop and implement a unique, comprehensive, accessible, and value-added program with special emphasis on the needs of the students.

Thanks to our efforts, in 2014, we launched our company " Charlemos español," offering online classes or in person—based on latest best practices—to Spanish language learners everywhere. Today, we have over thirty students from across the globe enrolled in our online Spanish school, and the business only continues to grow.

HOW WAS CREATED "CHARLEMOS ESPAÑOL"?
 Is a comprehensive language learning platform that offers interactive Spanish lessons and conversation practice. It was developed by experts in language education to ensure an effective and enjoyable learning process for users, where we offer both online and in-person Spanish classes. Our classes are adapted to all levels, from beginner to advanced, and are designed to improve your language skills in a fun and effective way.
It is easy to do magnificent work if you really believe in what you do. That is why we work every day to tutor people like you. Every time we meet a new student, we make sure everything is in line with our values. In no time, you will see progress and learning results, so we know we guarantee superior results for all our clients.
Our business is more than a job. It is our purpose and the force that drives us. It is the reason we get up every day and why we do this. But more importantly, it encourages us to achieve better things with every new challenge that comes our way.
By doing this, I developed a good understanding of both cultures and now I apply this experience in my work because I am enthusiastic about teaching students from all over the world. I am energetic, decisive, and professional with all my clients, with a strong focus on the high quality of my services. These skills allow me to design and deliver the best customized courses for each student.
ABOUT ME image
FOUNDING PRESIDENT
My name is Edel Galeana Rosales, I am a Mexican teacher of Spanish as a second language with more than thirty years of experience. I have a certificate in Spanish for foreigners from “Cuauhnahuac” School (Cuernavaca). I graduated as an architect from the Universidad del Estado de Morelos and obtained an M.B.A. from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), Mexico.

ACCREDITATIONS
I have been tutoring foreign students since 1985. I worked at the “Cuauhnáhuac” school for 5 years. In the 90's I moved to the United States to teach Spanish in Wisconsin, and in 1995 I obtained a position at Delphi Automotive Systems, where I worked for 13 years (in Human Resources, in the Training and Professional Development Department as a bilingual teacher, and as a manufacturing supervisor). I taught Spanish at the Universidad Internacional in Cuernavaca for 15 years.
Behind every person lies a real story. If you would like to know more about who I am and my journey to become a Spanish teacher, read on…

The part of my story about how I became a teacher after studying architecture in college began by chance when I saw an advertisement from "Cuauhnáhuac" School, which was looking for new personnel to study and teach Spanish to foreign students. Because I had liked to learn and practice my English as a student, this advertisement captured my interest. Feeling that this work would be a perfect match for me, I soon took advantage of the opportunity to work as a teacher. 

When I was in college studying architecture, I never imagined that I would become a teacher. However, teaching quickly became my second passion, after architecture.However, in 1990, after 5 years at "Cuauhnáhuac", I received a job offer in the state of Wisconsin that would give me international experience and the opportunity to learn more and improve my English. 

Later, in 1995, I began to work at Delphi Automotive Systems, a foreign manufacturing company located in Matamoros, MX–Brownsville, TX on the US–México border, where I worked for 13 years; but fate would not stop there. In mid-2008, I had to resign from Delphi and return to Cuernavaca because my mother was ill.Soon after, in 2009, the swine flu pandemic emerged, causing the loss of many jobs and a lack of well-paying jobs, forcing me and many others to face a serious economic crisis. 

Fortunately, from 2010 onward, I was employed teaching Spanish to foreign students at the Universidad Internacional in Cuernavaca.Through the years I encountered many difficulties, and I thank God for giving me the strength and resilience to overcome adverse situations. I have been able to create and realize my dream of developing my own company, "Charlemos Español", which started in 2014 with only two students. Today, in 2024, 30 students are enrolled in our online Spanish classes.

The rest of my story is on my website. Welcome!
Sincerely, 
Edel Galeana Rosales 
Bilingual Mexican university professor.
