Product Description
Fluenz is a software company founded by a group of passionate language learners who felt there had to be a better way. We believe in the power of one-on-one tutoring, so our technology is geared towards bringing real life instruction to the computer. In our Spanish application, language tutor Sonia Gil guides you throughout the program, blending full motion video explanations in English with a series of highly engaging workouts, helping you to understand and speak relevant Spanish. The Fluenz system follows three clear principles: 1) We learn best when we have a teacher. It's often difficult to motivate yourself to learn on your own. By bringing a tutor to the computer, we explain all concepts in a sensible way and you don't have to tackle Spanish all by yourself. 2) It's easier to learn Spanish by starting out in English. Contrary to what you might think, Spanish is a tough langauge to learn and we are able to progress much faster by leveraging our knowledge of English to help us learn Spanish. In fact, modern linguistics tells us that as adults, we need to use the tools of the language we already know and apply them to learning a new language. With Fluenz, you learn first in English and relate basic Spanish grammar and syntax to that of English, rather than trying to understand Spanish grammar with Spanish logic. 3) It's best to learn the most relevant words in Spanish right away. You need to start learning the words and structures that will allow you to communicate the most in the least amount of time, taking into consideration which words are easier to remember for English speakers, which expressions make the most logical sense to us, and which are most useful--"cell phone" instead of "red apple." Being able to communicate right away in simple ways requires relevant learning. And, with 13 types of workouts covering verbal expression and comprehension, as well as reading and writing, you practice and internalize what you learn in the video lessons.

Rosetta aint want nothing on this January 27, 2008

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

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!
