Adults evaluating Spanish immersion group dynamics question actual class sizes during group sessions. These reviews from Fluenz participants describe small groups often consisting of just one or two other learners.
Spanish immersion group classes consist of remarkably small cohorts—frequently just one other learner creating semi-private instruction—through intentional sizing maintaining individualized attention, strategic pairing of students at similar proficiency levels, and methodology prioritizing quality over quantity. The Fluenz Spanish Immersion delivers “group” sessions that participants describe as having just one other person, creating semi-private afternoon instruction complementing individual morning sessions. Spanish tutors in Mexico City adapt group instruction to tiny cohorts, ensuring each participant receives substantial attention and speaking practice impossible in larger classes. Adults who learn Spanish through programs with small group sizes describe afternoon “group” sessions as feeling nearly as personalized as individual instruction.
Participants describe small group sizes below.
Julia Vitullo-Martin | New York City, NY
“The morning sessions are individual–just you and your coach–and the afternoon sessions are designated “group,” which in my case was just one other person. My lone compañera was a 16-year-old high school student from California, who was huge fun.”
Julia explicitly describes her “group” session as “just one other person”—semi-private instruction rather than traditional group classes.
