Meet The Owner.

Hola, I’m Ana Carolina Francisca Mery Letelier, but you can call me Caro.

I’m an animal lover, a music fan who sings with passion but zero talent, and the kind of person who’s happiest with a good book, a Jeep ride with the top down, or traveling with friends – ideally sharing a great meal, lots of laughs, and a little adventure.

I’m also really into personal development — I love anything that helps us grow, reflect, and show up as our best selves.

So what inspired me to create Pura Buena Onda – Conversational Spanish?

It all started with my own struggles learning English and French.

My experience was frustrating: lots of studying and memorizing, very little speaking.

I wanted to build the opposite experience for Spanish learners — a place where you don’t just study the language, you live it.

At PBO, we believe in community, mistakes, and fun, because that’s how real learning happens.

My hope is that every student feels supported, cared for, and excited to show up, even on the days when Spanish feels tricky.

Welcome to our little corner of joy, connection, and of course… lots of español.

¡Bienvenidos a PBO! 🎉
