Fantastical Spaniard is a brand created by Nancy Ford, a writer, editor, and linguist based in Brooklyn. Nancy's interest in foreign language acquisition among adults, as well as her own Spanish heritage, inspired her to start this brand. The name fantastical Spaniard comes from Shakespeare's Love's Labor's Lost, where it describes Don Adriano de Armado, a soldier infatuated with love and known for his exaggerated language.

Nancy believes that learning a language as an adult requires a certain level of passion and a willingness to be vulnerable. Fantastical Spaniard offers resources and lessons for adult language learners, focusing on Spanish. Their content includes lessons inspired by telenovelas and a wide range of vocabulary.

Nancy encourages learners to embrace their journey, just as Don Adriano de Armado does, and not be afraid to make mistakes along the way. Subscribe to Fantastical Spaniard's blog to receive regular updates and join a community of language learners
