“The Fluenz Spanish Immersion experience exceeded all expectations. Sonia has built a team of interesting and patient mentors who bring lots of life and language experiences with them. We laughed and learned together like we were old friends. I knew no Spanish when I went to Mexico City, and when I left I could understand conversations, speak in sentences, and was motivated to continue my journey. The Fluenz Spanish Immersion is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done for myself.”
This participant entered as a complete beginner and left understanding conversations and speaking in sentences—outcomes exceeding typical expectations for one-week programs.
