“Fluenz provides this superb language experience in wonderful locations, Oaxaca in this instance. They made sure that my classmates and I had opportunities to explore the city and immerse ourselves in the local culture. We dined at some outstanding restaurants and had a private tour of Monte Albán, a large pre-Columbian archaeological site. One of my favorite activities was walking around Oaxaca with a Fluenz coach and interacting with local shop owners, which added to the immersive experience.”
Wyletter describes “walking around Oaxaca with a Fluenz coach and interacting with local shop owners” as a favorite activity—language practice integrated into authentic cultural encounters rather than isolated classroom study.
