Javier Hoballah Lorenzo
Founder of H Spanish Academy · Spanish Teacher
I am Javier Hoballah Lorenzo, creator and founder of the H Spanish Academy team. I have been teaching Spanish to people all over the world for years, and I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to learn a language without clear guidance or sufficient resources.
In fact, this website was born because, despite finding many resources online, there are always some activities that do not quite fit what I want to teach, or exercises that lack real-life practice. That is why I created H Spanish Academy: a free platform designed to make learning Spanish dynamic, progressive and effective, following the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) from A1 to C2.
Since I started studying education, motivation has been a central theme in my training. I have published two academic works on the subject:
- Final Degree ProjectMotivation and Development of Executive Functions in Primary Education
- Master's ThesisMotivation in the Teaching-Learning Process of Second Languages-Foreign Languages
These works have continued to guide my approach on the platform, where motivation is part of the design of every activity.
On top of that, the idea is to bring together everything a teacher would need to teach Spanish while also making it accessible to students. My mission is simple: to ensure that anyone in the world can learn quality Spanish, regardless of their budget or location.
- CEFR level-based learning (A1–C2)
- Interactive and practical exercises

- Gradual and motivating progression
- Points and achievements system (XP)

The "H" in H Spanish Academy represents the sound the letter H makes in Spanish — it is silent. The idea is to represent the website as a support for students, but where the real protagonist is not the H, but the student.
I firmly believe that learning Spanish should not be expensive or complicated nowadays. With the right tools, the right approach and a little consistency, anyone can achieve fluency. The era of scarce learning resources is over. What we need to look for now is guidance and resource optimisation. That is the promise of H Spanish Academy.
