Frequently Asked Questions

Bootcamp vs. Luxury Immersion: What’s the Difference?

Fluenz’s Mexico City Bootcamp is a six-day Spanish fluency accelerator designed to yield significant results. Every session is one-on-one, ensuring maximum impact, and takes place in the heart of Polanco. The emphasis rests primarily on maximizing your Spanish instruction, rather than on cultural immersions.

Luxury Immersions, on the other hand, offer the same high-quality instruction within a more expansive framework. Each city —across Latin America and Spain— offers curated cultural immersion: private museum visits, exceptional dining, guided historical excursions, and boutique accommodations. Language learning unfolds alongside these experiences, combining one-on-one coaching with small group instruction. The rhythm is slower in pace, but the instruction remains uncompromising.

At a glance:

  • Bootcamp (Mexico City): Precision one-on-one coaching, high-intensity structure, six-day fluency regimen.
    Luxury Immersions (17 destinations): Cultural depth, refined travel, and elite instruction blended into a more expansive learning experience.

How Does the Bootcamp Work?

Six days of private and intensive immersion, from Sunday arrival to Friday departure, frame the Fluenz Bootcamp in Mexico City. Each weekday features customized coaching in an all‑Spanish environment, built for swift progress:

  1. Pre‑arrival Evaluation: Complete a detailed assessment to ascertain your current proficiencies and objectives before your arrival.
  2. Custom Coaching Roadmap: Leveraging these insights, Fluenz crafts a tailored plan.
  3. Seven‑Hour Daily Coaching: Every day, you’ll devote seven hours to one‑on‑one instruction, advancing grammar, syntax, conversation, and pronunciation with your expert coach.
  4. Lunchtime Language Work Sessions: Even during meals, linguistic engagement continues, providing an opportunity for live Spanish dialogue with your instructor.
  5. After‑hours Practice: In the evenings, you’ll build on your daily one‑on‑one coaching with interactive activities that deepen your abilities.
  6. Daily Refinement: The program evolves each day, adjusting to your pace, sharpening focus areas, and accelerating learning.

Does it Take Place in a Classroom the Entire Time?

By no means. Though select lessons occur across teaching spaces in Polanco, learning spills into the city each day. Learners speak in Spanish during handpicked strolls through the city, break for all‑Spanish luncheons at a hush-hush taco spot or upscale eatery, and turn every location into your personal classroom.

Is it All One-on-One or Are There Group Classes?

The Fluenz’s Mexico City Bootcamp delivers seven hours of daily one‑to‑one coaching with a rotating team of instructors who sustain momentum and fine‑tune each session.

How Much Will I Learn?

Seven-hours a day of private coaching —anchored by your customized roadmap— yields progress that would normally require months. Even those starting from zero are often sustaining basic conversations by midweek.

How Long Does it Take?

Configured as a rigorous six‑day journey from Sunday arrival to Friday departure, the Fluenz Spanish Bootcamp in Mexico City offers seven hours per day of intensive language tutoring.

Is it Right for Me or Is it Too Intense?

  • Are driven by the pursuit of rapid Spanish mastery.
  • Embrace full‑immersion, active participation.
  • Thrive on challenging programs that deliver tangible results.
  • Value progress over leisure-oriented experiences.
  • Have tried other methods and now seek a proven, customized approach.

You might find it too demanding if:

  • You’re after a laid‑back break with occasional language exposure.
  • You prefer larger classes or a less structured schedule.
  • You’re not ready to dedicate a full week solely to Spanish.

Do I Get the Same Instructor or Do They Change?

This rotation not only ensures continuity, but also introduces you to a variety of regional accents and teaching styles, an advantage when preparing for real-world conversations in Spanish.

Who are the typical instructors?
