Home > About us
We (Ana María and Macarena) met through the MBA program at the University of Oxford. Being both born in Latin America and having dedicated part of our life to social impact, we realized that we shared a powerful goal; to create opportunities for people in Latin America by embracing their talents and helping them to reach their full potential. We started Language Amigo as an MBA class project.
Today, we are solving a social problem, lack of economic opportunities for youth in Latin America, through a market opportunity, Spanish language learning. We are offering language Learners the opportunity to practice Spanish and have real world conversations with real and friendly people, Amigos.
We believe that the main objective of learning a language is to be able to connect with people from another country, culture, and background, and of course to enjoy the journey!
