Risa B brought her husband as what she called a “plus one”—meaning he didn’t participate in language learning but stayed at the hotel and joined students for special activities. He loved it. Then after watching everyone else learn Spanish all week, he started studying using the Fluenz platform himself.

“My husband came as my ‘plus one,’ meaning he did not participate in the language learning but stayed at the hotel (he loved it!) and joined the immersion students for special activities. He was embraced and enjoyed it all. (He has now started studying Spanish using the Fluenz platform!)”

That’s the actual pattern—non-studying spouse comes along, watches what happens, gets interested enough to start learning themselves. The hotel’s nice enough that someone can hang out there for a week without getting bored, and Polanco has enough restaurants and shops within walking distance to keep a non-student occupied.

“Polanco, where Fluenz Mexico City is based in a lovely old mansion, is an upscale, safe neighborhood with lots of fine restaurants and shops.”

The special activities Risa mentioned—museum visits, dinners, cultural events—are open to non-studying partners. So they’re not just sitting in a hotel room all week while you’re in class.
