“I’m currently planning my 4th Fluenz experience (2nd with my husband) and I met many on my last trip on their 6th and 7th experiences. I’ve only been to Mexico City and Oaxaca so far with plans for Colombia next year. Although I’ve only been to Mexico City and Oaxaca so far with plans for Colombia next year, I trust that any city that Fluenz offers will be safe and wonderful. They do it right with amazing attention to detail.”
This participant describes attending both alone and with her spouse across multiple immersions, noting the program works well for both arrangements.

“This was my third immersion trip with Fluenz, to a different location, and it will not be my last. Each trip has been wonderful and different. I again learned an immense amount and improved my ability to speak Spanish significantly. I cannot recommend Fluenz immersion trips and Zoom immersion classes highly enough. I am hooked for life!”
Ann describes attending three immersions in different locations, with her most recent including her 14-year-old daughter. She combines immersion experiences with Zoom classes for continued learning between in-person programs.

“This was my second Fluenz immersion in Mexico City. I arrived a day early because I knew from my last trip that I wanted to explore further the lovely neighborhood of Polanco. By the closing session–for which we all write & present an essay in Spanish–Jen & I had both made huge leaps forward. The price gave me pause, but it’s worth every penny. Jen & I are now studying the Fluenz schedule for 2024–Oaxaca! Chiapas! Madrid! Barcelona!–and deciding on our next adventure.”
Julia describes her second Mexico City immersion, with plans to attend additional programs in various locations across Mexico and Spain.

“Clearly, many of the instructors have years of institutional knowledge about the company and its programs; many of them also knew the returning students, as well. And that little detail right there: ‘returning students’ truly convinced me from Minute One that I made the right decision by investing in this program.”
Lisa describes observing the relationships between instructors and returning students as evidence of program quality, with teachers recognizing participants from previous immersions.

“The teachers all knew HOW to teach, pushing me further, yet encouraging me along the way. For example, when my brain started to freeze up on day four, my teacher just switched to a Spanish conversation allowing me relax and then move forward with the lesson.”
