Kathzvi | Southampton, NY
“Pure Joy. The Fluenz Immersion program in Mexico City was pure delight. Learning a language is never easy, but 3 hour classes flew by. The teachers are all highly qualified, extremely patient and knowledgeable. Sonia and Carlos run a highly caring, organized school and when you depart, you feel like you are leaving your family. I am sure I will go back again…and again…and again.”
