Meet Elvia Zaldívar.
For Elvia Zaldívar, languages have always been a way to feel at home in the world. Born in Honduras, educated in the United States and later living in Hamburg, she experienced first-hand how languages open doors to new people, cultures and opportunities.
After years of teaching English and Spanish, Elvia moved to Lanzarote in 2008 and founded Co Co Lingua in Yaiza in 2011. Her vision was clear: learning Spanish should be personal, practical and closely connected to the culture and everyday life of the island.
The school began with local learners and grew through personal recommendations, first across Lanzarote and later through former students in Germany and other countries. Today, Elvia leads Co Co Lingua with the same belief that inspired its beginnings: learning a language is not only about words and grammar—it is about gaining confidence, understanding one another and feeling connected to a place.
