“We built these immersions around the idea that fluency requires real depth. This means understanding, practice, and human connection,” Sonia Gil, Fluenz founder, explains for LA Weekly. “We consciously decided to go against the grain. Everything was going digital, so we went the other way. We doubled down on real people, real interaction. Yes, we use technology to enhance the experience, but we believe fluency is built through human connection and not algorithmic convenience.”

How fast will I learn?
Our path through Spanish, designed for English speakers, is entirely focused on getting you to communicate as much as possible in the fastest possible way. Every person has a different approach. Some are good with grammar, others pick up vocabulary, and others get the rhythm right away. Our strategy is to adapt for success. One week in Mexico City will transform your Spanish. Our many avenues to continue learning will solidify what you learned and let you take the next step.
Am I too old to learn?
For two decades, we have focused on teaching adults based on a methodology originally designed for that. While other approaches offer the same strategies used to teach children, we leverage all the English you already know (all the grammar, even unconsciously) to get you communicating in Spanish. Many studies suggest that adults can learn faster than children because of their ability to understand what they are learning. We agree.
When can I come?
We have dozens of Spanish Immersion weeks throughout the year. Check the calendar above for our Mexico City dates, our other destinations, and our other types of adult-focused programs.
