Spanish in the Wild
Ready to take your Spanish learning outside?
Spanish in the Wild is the only nature based Spanish homeschool curriculum of its kind.
Spanish nature study for families and their children ages 5+ (even teens!)
As children get older, our approach to teaching language often shifts from immersion and play, to grammar focused and product driven curriculum.
We forget to let kids explore and experience the language with hands-on activities, and confine them to desks with worksheets and verb charts.
And i'm here to change that.
Your child doesn't fit into one box, your Spanish courses shouldn't either.
A Spanish course that is as dynamic as your child! Spanish in the Wild is your chance to reclaim the wonder of language learning at home. With lessons that weave science, art, movement and literature together, this course creates a dynamic language learning experience for everyone to enjoy.
Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire.

- You love nature, hands-on learning, and you love to learn alongside of your children.
- You want to focus on nature study, and nurture a strong sense of place and belonging in this world for your children.

Who am I?
I’m Naomi Noyes. A Spanish teacher, twin mamá, forest school educator, and lover of all things nature. Seeing families teach their kids Spanish at home fires me up. I believe in outside-the-box language education that gets children off a screen and into the natural world.
So, I got to work applying my near-decade’s-worth of Spanish teaching experience, and created engaging online Spanish courses for families who want a hands-on curriculum to help them take their language learning outside.
About our illustrator
Matthew Graham, Hawk & Hand, is a Connecticut-based artist. He went to school for fine arts with a focus in illustration. Growing up he found wildlife was always his biggest source of inspiration, especially birds. Specifically, raptors. “The colors, patterns and grace these creatures possess are nothing short of a gifts to humans”.Matthew is a father of two beautiful boys who keep him on his toes at all times, but its his families adventures in nature that breathe life into his work. His main mediums are graphite and ink, he then transfers the hand drawn pieces to a digital format for color.
"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."
NATURE IS CALLING, IT'S TIME TO TAKE YOUR SPANISH INTO THE WILD
The benefits of language learning are endless: greater cognitive functioning, improved problem solving skills, better attention span, a growing confidence in one’s own abilities…the list goes on and on. Yet, even in the face of all of these measured, scientific studies on the benefits of bilingualism, there is a greater payoff even still when learning Spanish at home, and that is connection. Language learning is all about connecting more to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. Spanish in the Wild is so much more than a course or curriculum, it is a roadmap to connecting more as a family with nature at the heart of all we do.
This isn’t just about learning Spanish or studying nature at home, it is about reclaiming childhood and wonder for our children. It is about slowing down together, finding magic in ordinary moments, and cultivating a love of learning to last a lifetime.
