MERCI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I first got Fluenz French on a big stack of discs in a shiny red box back in 2012. I can’t remember if it was $400 or $500 back then, but I do remember thinking— a year or two later when I finally finished every lesson in the program, also taking notes with pen & paper, just like in a classroom— that it was some of the best $400 or $500 I ever spent.

Now around a decade later & with some of my learning having slipped out over the years: it’s simply such a wonderful experience being able to review material on my phone, and for that I’m thankful to Fluenz once again : )

Best language program on the market

I have used many language programs and taken classes over the years in my quest to learn Spanish. Fluenz is by far the best out there by FAR. I started with the app, which is robust and an amazing place to start. There are 5 levels and so much to learn within each level. As I made my way through the app, I realized Fluenz also does an immersion program in some amazing Spanish speaking locations so of course I had to try that out too and let me just say it was one of the most meaningful weeks of my life. From there I started the Zoom classes so that I can stay up to date and can continue using and learning Spanish. If you want to learn to speak Spanish and feel comfortable doing it, I highly recommend the Fluenz app and program. Every teacher is SUPERB and will help you build the confidence to get out there and actually speak.

The best way to learn!

Fluenz software is easy to use and a fantastic way to learn. I’ve been using it since 2021 and my Spanish ability has improved immensely. The software requires me to speak and write in response to questions, which is very effective and reinforces what I am learning. It is by far the best language learning software out there. If I ever master Spanish, I’ll use Fluenz for my next language as well!

Excellent Language Software

I have been using Fluenz since 2009 when it came on CDs in a bright red box. I have used it several times to “cram” some basic French and Italian before a trip. Obviously that did not make me fluent, but a lesson a day for a month before traveling equipped me to get by for basic tourist needs.

I’ve used Fluenz Spanish much more, but off and on until last year, when I travelled to Mexico for an immersion course. Since then I have completed all 5 levels of the software. I can now communicate clearly in most situations. Not perfectly, but understandably.

As good as the software is, working with the coaches in person is even better if your time and budget allow.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Fluenz! It's amazing to hear how it's been a part of your language learning journey since the CD days. It sounds like your dedication paid off, especially with your recent immersion course in Mexico. Keep up the great work!!

Best Spanish Learning App

I have been using Fluenz tutorials for the past 18 months and have made huge progress in learning the language. I knew no Spanish when I started and now I am a competent conversationalist and can even watch Spanish television. The lessons are very well structured with great review sessions and constant reinforcement. i did not have nearly as much success with either Duolingo or Babel. The Fluenz program is superb and worth the investment of time and money if you are serious about learning the language

Amazing program

My wife and I purchased the Fluenz software before it was software and on CDs. The CDs were really good but the newest version of the online software is exceptional. We also planned an immersion trip before the pandemic and Fluenz worked with us to delay it until our schedules finally allowed us to go. We have finally completed an immersion week in Mexico City and the experience could not have been better. The hotel, food, and cultural experiences were perfect. But most importantly the teachers far exceeded my expectations. Will be booking online sessions and another immersion for next year. Thank you Fluenz for building such a wonderful platform to learn Spanish.

Well worth it!

The Fluenz software has just the right amount of repetition and new material to keep things flowing and one confident of their progress. It is well organized and intuitive with attractive graphics. Over the years I have purchased and worked with a number of the other big names in language (Pimsleur, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, to name a few). Though the others are also very good, I feel I have learned much more consistently and continue to enjoy the process with Fluenz. Highly recommend giving Fluenz a try.

Great lessons and great company

I really like the methodology Fluenz uses in their lessons. It feels much more personal, and the grammar lessons are structured in a much better way than other language learning apps. I also do the Fluenz in person immersions and zoom lessons, which the software lessons compliment perfectly. The combination of all three has proven highly effective for me!

Best program available

I bought Rosetta Stone and Fluenz at the same time. However, I only use Fluenz now because the program actually explains why verbs have different endings and has plenty of practice using the different sections delegated to life situations. In my opinion the other programs lacked this. Also, the program states they use Spanish that is familiar to South America and Spain and leave out slang so you can be understood in both places which I never realized could be an issue. Anyways if you want a great program that will stick with, Fluenz is the program. My other programs just gather dust

The best language learning program ever!

I bought Fluenz French 1 & 2 right before leaving for a 3 month exchange in Paris in 2008. Over the course of a month, I was able to bring my French up to enough competence (having started at zero) to be able to order coffee, buy metro tickets and be able to function in a city. Without Fluenz, I would not have had the confidence to then continue my education in French where I was able to then advance to a B2 level. Over the covid lockdowns, Fluenz Spanish helped me get enough of a knowledge of Spanish to be able to then travel to Spain and manage autonomously (more or less).

Fluenz is not for everyone as it relies on the old maxim that practice makes perfect. However, I will say that it was exactly what I was looking for and it changed my life.
