Product Description

The only interactive language program offering an immersive environment that recreates the best elements of great one-on-one tutoring.

Be Fluent in Spanish

On-screen tutor Sonia Gil, a recent Cornell graduate, and alumni from Harvard and the University of Chicago created Fluenz Spanish to be the kind of application they had always wanted when learning languages. The result of their work is ideal for those who seek common sense explanations, sophisticated workouts that lead to real learning, and who thrive on a great teacher to keep them focused and engaged.

Love Spanish, Actually Learn It

The team of passionate language learners behind Fluenz Spanish wanted to move beyond what they felt was wrong with computer language education: simplistic methods that boast a natural, passive way to learn a language and treat adults like children. Instead, Fluenz brings the magic of a great teacher to lead, challenge, and inspire adults and teens with real learning.

An effective approach for English Speakers

It's impossible to understand many of the important subtleties of Spanish speech without a clear explanation, such as how Spanish nouns must agree in gender and quantity (plural or singular) with articles and adjectives. Fluenz is the only interactive program offering tutor-led explanations in English that guide learners through the strategies necessary to reach fluency.

The Magic of Learning: Audio CDs for Your Car or iPod

The Fluenz Spanish Audio CD is the ideal complement to the interactive program. This CD was recorded by Ivan Loscher, one of the most recognizable voices in Spanish through his work with HBO Latin America.

Fluenz Podcasts: Download to Learn on the Go

Continuing a tradition at the Fluenz Lab, Fluenz Spanish offers downloadable podcasts that supplement the training work offere

Fluenz Spanish is a great choice with which to learn the ever popular language. Concise and clear explanations in English clear a whole lot up. Many of us are exposed to Spanish all the time, and people tend to try and memorize phrases, but in reality nothing works better than understanding how the language actually works. The teacher, Sonia, is really good at it, and her explanations in English go a long way in helping learners make sense of the language. Her positive tone and personal stories help you along the difficult journey of learning a language. I think her contribution is invaluable, and the overall method extremely effective. Get the red box and it will change your life!

I have used several self-paced tools for learning Spanish over the years and none of them seemed to have gotten it right. Fluenz has done this in a very unique and interactive way. One thing, I am always stunned by other packages of is the fact that in one's adult life, learning is achieved differently than earlier in life and I think Fluenz accounts for this verykey difference. Added to which the interactive menus are well thought out and intuitive, making the product easy to use and most importantly fun to enjoy. Fantastic product, if there were a sixed star, it would definitely get it

I enjoyed the old version of Spanish 2 except for a couple quirks. Having to run the program from a DVD was not great and you had to press the action button multiple times to get a reaction. The F2 version fixes those issues and more. You can now run the program off the hard drive with much better navigation and you only have to hit the play button once.

One new wrinkle occurs when you get a wrong answer. In the old version you could click on the answer button to see where you went wrong and move on. The new version makes you correct the mistake before you can leave the screen.

The things I like about Fluenz overall remain. The program really holds your interest. I have a hard time motivating myself to learn from books. This is by far the best program I've used, though to be fair I've not tried Rosetta Stone.
