“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. Many people go alone or with spouses, siblings, mothers/daughters, etc. I’ve done and enjoyed both: twice alone in Mexico City and once with spouse in Oaxaca.”

Eric H. | New York City, NY
“The hotel is perfectly located in an idyllic residential block of Polanco, where there are incredible restaurants, shops, parks, and museums within easy walking distance. The neighborhood is so beautiful that just taking a stroll through the streets became one of my favorite daily activities. In addition, activities outside of the classroom and our location in Mexico City provided a great means of exploring the city despite being there for immersion.”
Eric describes Mexico City’s combination of walkability, beauty, and cultural density as ideal for immersion.

Julia Vitullo-Martin | New York City, NY
“I arrived a day early because I knew from my last trip that I wanted to explore further the lovely neighborhood of Polanco. What’s more, Fluenz supplements learning the language with activities that help us think about the culture–an evening of tequila & tamales, dinner at the extraordinary Quintonil, a private tour of the Museo Nacional de Antropología, one of the world’s finest museums. Jen & I are now studying the Fluenz schedule for 2024–Oaxaca! Chiapas! Madrid! Barcelona!–and deciding on our next adventure.”
Julia describes Mexico City as her second immersion location, with plans to experience additional cities.

“It was my first time in Mexico City, my first time participating in an immersive language program, but not my first time dealing with the complexities of language learning. In addition, activities outside of the classroom and our location in Mexico City provided a great means of exploring the city.”
