“I speak French but it was an arduous journey and I wish that I’d had something like this for learning French. I am a beginner beginner in Spanish (I had only completed Fluenz online level 1 before coming) and I learned more in one week than I would have in years of attending Spanish classes at home in Austin. It is really intensive, but somehow they made it very enjoyable.”
Jordan describes French learning as “an arduous journey” but found Spanish through Fluenz dramatically different, learning more in one week than years of traditional classes would provide and wishing similar methodology had existed for French.
