Discover Spanish through the magic of a great teacherFluenz Spanish is based on three principles: 1) There's no substitute for a great tutor. It's often difficult to motivate yourself to learn a language on your own. Having a teacher to challenge and inspire you, while explaining exactly how the language works, makes all the difference.2) The best way for adults to learn Spanish is with explanations in English. For example, it is impossible to understand the diffeThe 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 Read More »| 423 of 428 people found the following review helpful  Fluenz and Rosetta, By Java R. (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Fluenz Spanish (Latin America) 1+2 with supplemental Audio CDs and Podcasts (DVD-ROM) After working for several months with Rosetta Stone I decided to give Fluenz a try. There seems to be a bit of an argument between these two so I figured I could benefit by standing on solid middle ground. Truth is, there is such middle ground, but also both products are opposed to each other in many respects. By this I mean that I have profited from learning with both, but because they are so different. These are the highlights of my experience:1. Rosetta Stone will bombard you with words, many of them, one after the other. That's their strength. The idea is that you learn words by matching them to pictures. They have technology to recognize your voice, and it works. But you do feel like a child, because many words are irrelevant and a little childish, because you don't understand what's going on beyond the words thrown at you, and the words and images just keep on coming. That's how you start. 2. Fluenz begins with a teacher, Sonya, who explains the whole...

I've averaged one lesson per day for the past 19 days since receiving Fluenz and last night ordered, commented on and paid for an entire meal - in Spanish - at a Mexican restaurant. Fluenz is a little different from other language programs I've read about: There is no formal vocabulary building, no verb conjugation or memorization, no rote anything. Typically, one lesson will concentrate on one scenario: shopping, airports, restaurants, etc. Real world situations. Dialogue will be exchanged between two participants, then your personal tutor, Sonia, will dissect everything. Following Sonia's explanations will be...

Fluenz Spanish 1+2 is a multimedia application that comes in two DVD-ROMs. The material is organized in sessions that are led by a charismatic tutor on full motion video. She does a very good job of explaining the intricacies of Spanish vocabulary, grammar and usage from the point of view of an English-speaker, and in plain English. Each session begins with the tutor's brief introduction, followed by a conversation that contains the material to be worked on, followed by her longer tutorial. These video tutorials present the most effective summaries of how Spanish works I've ever heard. Following the tutorial the program goes on to a series of 13 different kinds of fully interactive workouts. These grow increasingly challenging, and force the user to review the material by writing it, reading it, listening to it, and recording it. These workouts have... Read more |

The pronunciation of Latin on this CD does not seem to be "authentic" as the audio rendition of supposed/derived Latin pronunciation in other courses. The author speaks with an obvious American "take" on Latin pronunciation. It's a disgrace to hear especially the consonant "r" spoken with the American lateral (retroflex) equivalent. Then there's the pure Latin vowels: the speaker uses the usual American diphthonized vowel sounds in their place. Also, I didn't hear any distinction between long and short vowels.The bad news for me is that I bought this about 2 years ago, and just now opened it up to listen and take on my Latin studies. Returning the package (and whole course!) is not within the allowed period of return. I am very, if not extremely, disappointed in this audio. The textbook is good, but I will rely upon my training in Latin pronunciation otherwise to... Read more |
