About this app

Fastest way to REALLY SPEAK a new language, and not just memorize words and phrases.

3 Reasons Why Fluenz is Worth it:

1. Made for English Speakers

The only language learning program anywhere specifically designed for English-speakers. Learn to speak Spanish, French, Italian, Mandarin, German or Portuguese anytime, anywhere. Each lesson has a video explanation of what you will learn, showing your the ins and out of the language you are learning. Then go straight to reading, writing and listening with workouts that progressively gain complexity, designed for the information to “stick”. Learning a new language is not automatic but with the right tools and with explanations you can get there.

2. Total Approach

Videos on streaming platforms and game like language apps are all useful but not enough to reach fluency. To really learn a new language you need a fully integrated platform that a) explains the workings of your new language every step of the way, b) provides the tips and tricks English-speakers need to speak and understand that new language, and c) connects those explanations directly to extensive workouts and flashcards that take you to fluency.

3. Proven Results

Unique among digital programs, Fluenz puts its program to the test every single month with some of the world’s most demanding learners at its face-to-face Immersion program in Mexico City. After ten years, hundreds of thousands of users and several complete upgrades, Fluenz continues to lead in positive reviews, critical acclaim, and the praise of those who are truly serious about learning Spanish.

Ratings and reviews

Great for beginners, Level 1 and 2 were really helpful on a short trip to Italy, 3-5 are less useful, actually too long. The 7 minute lessons from Level 1 and 2 are 15 minutes in Levels 3-5 but actually have 1 hour worth of material. It would take 2 hours to complete each lesson if you had the material properly spaced. Very hard to follow past Levels 1 and 2, it would be better and more impactful if they were shorter and more punchy. I switched to a different ap for advanced lessons.

#TheBestOut (hands down) if you actually purchase any language levels to use the app with! You can TRY a couple of sessions from each level by the "stream online" option, but to get the most out of it all, purchase and download (over wifi!) everything (levels and pronunciation and comprehension audio). That way, you'll REALLY have it on demand, the app won't burn data when you're out and about, and you won't have to use wifi even if you have it! Delete sessions for space afterwards (optional).

Black text on a dark brown background is difficult to read. Used to force stops frequently during drag and drop exercises. It's way better than Duolingo for learning grammar; an order of magnitude better. Duolingo is only good for initially expanding ones vocabulary. Neither app has adaptive learning. Wlingua is a very good complementary app.
