Our Fluenz immersion methodology recognizes that accomplished adults learn differently than children, utilizing sophisticated cognitive strategies to achieve rapid, lasting fluency in Spanish.
Why study Spanish in a millenarian valley?
This extraordinary colonial city of Oaxaca represents the living heart of Mexican culture, where President Benito Juárez once walked cobblestone streets learning Spanish, Latin, and ancient Greek after growing up speaking Zapoteca. Hundreds of 16th and 17th-century buildings create an unparalleled backdrop for Spanish language immersion, while renaissance convents established by religious orders continue their educational legacy. The region’s master artisans, innovative chefs, and mezcal producers provide exclusive access to cultural experiences unavailable elsewhere, making intensive Spanish course work feel effortless within such inspiring surroundings.
How fast will I learn?
Our comprehensive Spanish immersion methodology accelerates communication abilities through personalized strategies that adapt to individual learning patterns. Some participants excel with grammatical structures, others absorb vocabulary rapidly, while many develop conversational rhythm immediately. The program’s flexibility ensures optimal progress regardless of initial proficiency, with five intensive days creating measurable transformation complemented by 90-minute Zoom sessions and lifetime access to our comprehensive digital platform valued at $398.
Am I too old to learn?
Our adult-focused approach specifically capitalizes on mature learners’ cognitive advantages and existing linguistic sophistication. Unlike programs designed for children, in the Fluenz Spanish Immersion in Oaxaca we harness the grammatical knowledge adults unconsciously possess in English to accelerate Spanish acquisition. Research consistently demonstrates that dedicated adult learners often progress more rapidly than younger students due to their analytical capabilities and motivation, making serious adult Spanish language immersion both practical and highly effective.
