Sobremesa
¿Hablas español? Tu hijo aprende en inglés en la escuela? Versión para padres hispanohablantes →
For parents, caregivers & immersion teachers

Never feel stuck
when the schoolwork
comes home in Spanish.

Sobremesa turns your child's weekly classwork into a parent-friendly guide: the academic concepts in plain English, the Spanish vocabulary they'll hear in class, and 15-minute activities you can do together. Now you can support their learning and pick up the language alongside them.

Summer is here

School's out. Keep Spanish warm all summer.

A weekly Summer Table of activities, vocabulary, books, and shows tuned to your child's age. So the language doesn't cool off between the last bell of the school year and the first one of the new one.

Why we're called Sobremesa

so·bre·me·sa
noun, Spanish·/so.βɾeˈme.sa/

"The time spent at the table after the meal is finished. Talking, lingering, in no hurry to leave."

There's no English word for it. We named the app after it because that's the kind of time we're trying to give families back — a few minutes a week where the language your child is learning is reason enough to stay at the table a little longer.

How it works

Three steps. No guesswork.

01

Share what they're learning

Paste in the email from school, drop a link, or upload a photo of the weekly schedule. We read it for you.

02

Get a focused lesson, made for your child

Built around what they're learning that week and tuned to their grade, level, and your family's goals: must-know words, age-right grammar, and a 15-minute activity you can do tonight. You can even help them with math and reading!

03

Stay a little longer

Do the activity together, then stick around. Trade notes with other parents in your mesa or your teacher's class group.

Find your seat

Every mesa needs a host.

A mesa is a small private group on Sobremesa — a place to share lessons, ask questions, and stay in sync. Pick the path that fits you.

Get started

You don't need to be fluent to help.

Whether you're supporting your child's schoolwork in Spanish or learning the language alongside them, start with one mesa. Add as many lessons, families, or kids as you need.

  • Vocabulary aligned to this week's classroom focus
  • Grammar calibrated by age (PreK through 6th, ACTFL-aligned)
  • Activities for the whole family — not worksheets
  • A community of parents and teachers in the same boat

Welcome, parent.

Drop your child's weekly schedule in. We'll turn it into something you can actually help with — and pick up the language while you're at it.
