Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 25, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Palabrix, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships while maintaining our commitment to providing genuine value and honest recommendations to our students.
We want you to understand any financial relationships that might influence the content, recommendations, or resources we share. Your trust is important to us, and we strive to earn it through openness about our business practices.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Participation in Affiliate Programs
Palabrix participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links and make purchases of products or services we recommend. These programs include:
- Educational Resources: Links to Spanish language textbooks, workbooks, and supplementary learning materials
- Digital Tools: Language learning applications, software, and online platforms that complement our courses
- Cultural Products: Books, films, music, and other media from Spanish-speaking cultures
- Travel Services: Recommendations for language immersion programs or study abroad opportunities
Commission-Based Compensation
When you purchase products or services through affiliate links on our website or in our communications, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Important details about this arrangement:
- The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant
- Commissions typically range from 3% to 15% of the purchase price, depending on the program
- We only recommend products and services that we believe genuinely benefit our students' language learning journey
- Our recommendations are based on educational value, not commission rates
Product Recommendation Policies
Our approach to recommending products and services is guided by the following principles:
- We recommend only resources we have personally evaluated and believe will benefit Spanish language learners
- Our instructors test materials before suggesting them to students
- We provide honest assessments of both strengths and limitations of recommended products
- We disclose when alternatives exist, including free or lower-cost options
- Student feedback influences our ongoing recommendations
Financial Relationship Transparency
Whenever we share affiliate links or product recommendations that may result in compensation, we clearly mark these with disclosure statements such as "affiliate link," "partner," or "we may earn a commission." This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about purchases while supporting our educational mission.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
On occasion, we may partner with educational companies, publishers, or language learning brands to create sponsored content. All sponsored posts, articles, or materials are clearly identified with one or more of the following labels:
- "Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content"
- "Paid Partnership with [Brand Name]"
- "This content was created in collaboration with [Company]"
- "Advertisement" or "Advertorial"
These labels appear prominently at the beginning of sponsored content so you can immediately identify material created through paid partnerships.
Sponsored Post Guidelines
When we create sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and adhere to strict guidelines:
- All sponsored content must provide genuine educational value to our students
- We retain the right to present honest opinions, including potential drawbacks
- Sponsors cannot dictate our editorial perspective or conclusions
- Sponsored content aligns with our teaching philosophy and educational standards
- We decline partnerships that conflict with our values or student interests

These relationships might include product sampling, event hosting, or co-developed educational resources. We disclose these partnerships when they influence content creation or product recommendations, ensuring you understand the business context behind our suggestions.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Whether content is sponsored or organic, we commit to:
- Sharing only our genuine opinions and experiences
