“Absolutely amazing experience. I knew very few Spanish words when I went and I came back with knowing how to order everything I needed at a restaurant. The staff was personable, very accommodating, and wonderful coaches. The cultural excursions were wonderful and the food was even more so.”

“This is not a trip that will make you fluent in Spanish in a week; that is impossible. However, it will push you further and make you think deeply about all the grammar and vocabulary you already know or that you learn while there. The lessons were intense at times, that is for sure. If you put a lot into it (before, during, and after), you will get a lot out of it.”
Amanda describes arriving at the Pug Seal Anatole France hotel in Polanco after airport pickup by a Fluenz representative. Daily sessions included two hours of morning instruction and two hours in the afternoon. She experienced moments of difficulty mid-week from the intensity but found the program adapted to help her regain momentum. After the week, she conversed with her airport driver entirely in Spanish and ordered food confidently.

Debbi C | November 2024 | West Vancouver, Canada
“My husband and I recently returned from a Fluenz Spanish immersion course in Mexico City. It was truly an amazing week and I honestly cannot find even one criticism of it. The accommodation and the food at the charming boutique hotel were top notch and the location in Polanco couldn’t have been better. The structure of the program was first class: very organized with the perfect balance of learning, cultural and gastronomic experiences.”
Debbi addresses a common concern: her husband was a complete beginner while she had studied Spanish for ten years. The individualized instruction accommodated both levels successfully. She describes breaking through a persistent comprehension barrier while her initially reluctant husband committed to continuing with the program’s digital resources after the week concluded.

“The Fluenz Spanish Immersion program I attended in Mexico City exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I signed on, Fluenz was there every step of the way with communications, scheduling, pre-arrival Zoom lessons to properly assess my language competency level, followed by an on-site highly personalized lesson schedule. Once I arrived for the program, I instantly felt part of a community that was with me every step of the way.”

“The Fluenz Spanish Immersion program is a wonderful mixture of travel and learning. We worked on our Spanish before the trip using the Fluenz online software, which is well thought out and fun to use. The in person and zoom trainers are excellent. On top of improving our Spanish, we also visited delicious restaurants, museums, gorgeous architecture and learned about the political history of Mexico.”

“I made the leap to join a Fluenz immersion by myself from San Francisco and could not have enjoyed it more. The team from Fluenz is so organized, everything is done and you simply get a text each night telling you what time your two sessions are and what the schedule is for the day. It was such a great mix of intensive Spanish lessons mixed with culture – for example, one night we had an amazing lecture on Mexican Politics and history, another night we went to the Anthropological museum on a private guided tour.”

“This is a top notch, luxury program run by caring, professional, and deeply thoughtful people. I can’t imagine that learning Spanish could possibly be done in a better way. Such a great, special time in my life! Thank you to all the Fluenz instructors. The teacher to student ratio was amazing, like 9 teachers for 12 students; though you can pay extra for more one on one attention, there’s no need and I didn’t, each session was still highly tailored and intense!”
