Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Spanish option in Mérida?
The Fluenz Immersion offers the smartest and most caring Spanish tutors anywhere, at a beautiful garden boutique hotel near Paseo de Montejo, Mérida’s most spectacular boulevard.
How do Spanish Immersion Sessions work?
We’ve designed different kinds of one-on-one and small group sessions tailored to different types of learners and contexts. Every session is closely monitored and the program is adjusted continuously according to progress patterns.
Who are the Spanish teachers?
An elite team of highly trained tutors deliver dynamic one-on-one and small group sessions, with a personalized program for every learner that evolves in real time. Their backgrounds in linguistics, philosophy, Spanish literature, poetry, and other branches of the humanities make them ideal teachers of their native language. All tutors speak English.
What makes Fluenz Spanish fundamentally different?
Two decades of focused development have produced every step English speakers should take to reach Spanish fluency. The approach has been tested and retested through millions of hours of learning.
Why study Spanish in Mérida?
Mérida stands as one of Mexico’s safest and most culturally rich destinations, where Yucatecan cuisine reaches its highest expression alongside Mayan heritage. Once one of Latin America’s wealthiest cities, Mérida’s architectural magnificence distinguishes it from other colonial destinations. The Fluenz Spanish Immersion in Mérida has unparalleled access to the city’s cultural treasures, the nearby UNESCO World Heritage site of Uxmal, and a chef’s table experience at the celebrated HUNIIK restaurant.
How fast will I learn?
The path through Spanish, designed for English speakers, focuses entirely on getting learners to communicate as effectively as possible. Every person has a different approach. Some excel with grammar, others pick up vocabulary quickly, and others develop rhythm naturally. The strategy adapts for success. One week in Mérida transforms Spanish abilities. Multiple avenues to continue learning solidify progress and enable the next level.
Am I too old to learn?
For two decades, the focus has been on teaching adults based on a methodology originally designed for mature learners. While other approaches offer the same strategies used to teach children, this methodology leverages all the English adults already know (including grammar, even unconsciously) to facilitate Spanish communication. Many studies suggest that adults can learn faster than children because of their ability to understand what they are learning.
When can I come?
Multiple Spanish Immersion weeks are available throughout the year. Check the calendar for Mérida dates, other destinations, and other types of adult-focused programs.
