Why did Fluenz get the top spot on the comparison chart for learning Spanish programs of LearnSpanishRapidly.com? And what does this mean to you, if you are wanting to learn to speak Spanish?
Whether you are completely new to Spanish or maybe learned some a while ago, it is my opinion that this program is the best one to help you get basic fluency fast.
There are several reasons for this:
[1] It uses a tutor, Sonia Gil, whose native language is Spanish. She is one of the developers of the program. As the Fluenz website explains, “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] The lessons give you vocabulary you will need as a traveler in a Spanish speaking country, or even if you wish to communicate with Spanish speakers in your hometown. You’ll learn words and phrases you are most likely to use in daily life. This is done in a very natural way: each lesson takes place in a particular place.
[3] As a new company formed by people who are passionate about speaking languages, Fluenz started from scratch. They’ve been able to design a program that is high quality, with lots of attention to detail. More importantly, it draws on the newest research on how we learn a foreign language. Sonia Gils’ presentation, and the sophistication of the program, are designed to make the learning of spoken Spanish go quickly… and be a pleasure.
