    REAL-WORLD SITUATIONS YOU'LL ENGAGE IN:

    • Going out to eat and for entertainment
    • Shopping and monetary transactions
    • Navigating airports and train stations
    • Taking buses and communicating with taxi drivers
    • Making hotel reservations and other travel arrangements

    FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS COVERED:

    • Constructing sentences using present and future tense verbs
    • Issuing commands
    • Forming questions
    • Masculine and feminine noun genders Adjectives
    • Pronouns and possessives
    • Counting up to 999,999 and expressing time

    Spanish 1 has been designed to prepare you for the most important and common situations you'll face in your spanish learning journey. At the same time, you'll develop a strong foundation in how the language actually works, allowing you to go beyond simple stock phrases to actually building sentences yourself. This is a serious introduction to the language.

    Right from the start you'll begin working with powerful structures and key vocabulary so that you can build useful Spanish sentences. After only a few sessions, you'll already be having meaningful interactions in a restaurant, and soon you'll be shopping, making plans with friends, getting around a city, going out for entertainment, and making travel arrangements with confidence.

    You'll build upon these skills through practice with key verbs and adjectives so that you can express your needs and desires in diverse situations with considerable detail. As you learn how to use possessives, pronouns, and form future tense sentences, you'll expand your range of communication while adding an important level of depth to your interactions.

    Further work on location along with important commands will round out your introduction to the Spanish language, leaving you well-prepared to dive into your experiences in the Spanish-speaking world.

    Fluenz Spanish 2

    Solidify your foundation and begin to acquire the tools for more serious engagement.

    REAL-WORLD SITUATIONS YOU'LL ENGAGE IN:

    • Completing home and office tasks
    • Renting an apartment or a house
    • Discussing family
    • Talking about studies and profession
    • Weather
    • Scheduling, including making plans with friends and colleagues
    • Complex dining and shopping interactions
    • Advanced issues related to going out at night and entertainment

    FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS COVERED:

    • Constructing sentences using past, present, and future tense verbs
    • Important irregular verbs
    • Conjugating the present progressive
    • Use of articles and object pronouns
    • Introduction to reflexive verbs
    • Comparatives and superlatives
    • More advanced preposition usage
    • Further work with noun genders

    Spanish 2 picks up where the first level leaves off, deepening your grasp of the fundamentals through new verb tenses and conjugations, an expanding vocabulary, and a broad range of other key parts of the language. By the end of Spanish 2, you'll have begun to make substantial inroads into becoming a more serious Spanish speaker, ideally preparing you for moving on to a more intermediate level.

    You'll begin perfecting your verb conjugations in the very beginning, including both past-tense and important irregular verbs. From there, you'll continue to build upon the structures learned in Spanish 1, so that your journey through this second level leads to more complex and meaningful interactions in restaurants, travel agencies, stores, and with friends.

    You'll buy clothing from boutique stores and a cell phone for your trip; you'll enjoy local cuisine at restaurants, and visit museums with friends. And as your ability to express location—along with giving and understanding directions—grows, you'll find yourself thoroughly prepared for navigating any Spanish-speaking city or neighborhood.

    As with all Fluenz programs, these critical scenarios provide the setting through which your grasp of the language's fundamentals is steadily developed. By enhancing your ability with the central topics covered in the previous level (such as articles, pronouns, verbs, and genders), you'll solidify your foundation in the Spanish language. Meanwhile, the introduction of new structures and vocabulary (such as reflexive verbs, comparatives, and superlatives) combines with more serious responsibilities, such as going to the doctor and handling office tasks, preparing you to engage more seriously with the Spanish-speaking world.

    Fluenz Spanish 3

    • Introduction to reflexive verbs

    • Further work with noun genders

    FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS COVERED:

    • Extensive work on reflexive verbs

    • Conjugating the present progressive
    • In-depth work on direct and indirect object pronouns
    • Conditional verbs and phrases
    • Common coloquial expressions
    • Preposition usage
    • Expressing opinions and preferences

    Spanish 3 dramatically expands your ability with the language. While Levels 1+2 establish the strongest possible foundation in the language, Level 3 builds upon this base into areas of substantial complexity that add an impressive layer of subtelty and sophistication to your speech. You also begin to develop the ability to connect with Spanish speakers around more personal topics.

    By the time we arrive at Level 3, the foundation has been set for a pivotal moment of growth. Building upon all that has been learned in the previous levels, your depth and range of communication will quickly broaden. As your skills develop with adverbs and coloquial phrases, your conversations will become more fluid and natural. Meanwhile extensive work on reflexive verbs—a very common feature in Spanish—and direct/indirect object pronouns will add a key dimension of complexity to your speech. In the end, other important topics, such as the formation of conditional sentences, the present progressive, and expressing opinions and preferences will combine with more real-world vocabulary to bring you to a impressive level of competency in Spanish.

    Throughout the program, you'll use these skills at home and in the office, while talking to people about your studies and professional life, and in order to rent an apartment. You'll also shop, dine, and enjoy the entertainment that the great cities and communities of the Spanish-speaking world have to offer. By the end of Spanish 3, you'll have taken a major step towards becoming a serious Spanish speaker, capable of handling intricate conversations and complicated situations with confidence.

    • Handling currency and money related issues
    • Opening and closing a bank account
    • Navigating city traffic and parking
    • Outdoor activities and planning

    • Irregular verb forms in the past tense
    • Conjugating reflexive verbs
    • Colloquial expressions
    • Using direct and indirect object pronouns

    Move beyond managing daily life in the Spanish speaking world to more diverse, meaningful, and personal interactions and experiences. Explore the outdoors, discuss family and childhood stories, and gain the skills it takes to establish yourself as a serious member of a Spanish speaking community.

    Spanish 4 continues adding critical pieces to your communication. From the often subtle difference between "por" and "para" to more refined object pronoun use, this level expands on the sophistication developed with Spanish 3. It also addresses topics that allow you express a much wider range of emotion, from opinions and preferences to wishes and desires--and even verb forms and structures that communicate obligation.

    These areas of the language fit perfectly with the situations you'll find yourself in as you journey through the level. You'll hold conversations about your family and childhood, cultural issues, interests, and more. At the same time, you will acquire the necessary skills for integrating yourself more deeply in a Spanish-speaking community. You'll learn how to address issues of season and climate, open or close a bank account, and handle more complicated issues.

    Spanish 4 is where you begin to develop the ability to move beyond being just a tourist, student, doctor, or business professional who can capably interact with the Spanish-speaking world. With Spanish 4, you begin to become a part of the community.

    • Using colloquial expressions and interjections
    • Advanced issues on the positioning of adjectives and adverbs
    • Expressing relative time
    • Using where and when as conjunctions
    • Nationalities and countries
    • Legal terminology
    • Animals and pets
    • Professions and titles
    • Telling stories in the past and imperfect past tenses

    Dive deeper into all areas of life. From managing your health and finances to taking advantage of the arts and participating in social media, Spanish 5 allows you to experience the Spanish-speaking world in full color. Build relationships as common acquaintances become friends and every interaction holds the opportunity to become a deeper member of the community.

    Spanish 5 builds on the skills acquired through the previous level, adding substantial layers of subtlety and sophistication to your ability with the language. You'll master complex grammatical issues like the use of the preterite vs. imperfect past tenses, speak more naturally through colloquial expressions, and communicate more fluidly with greater diversity in tone and structure.

    As with all Spanish programs, these skills are developed over the course of 30 full sessions that will take you on a journey through real, daily-life experiences in the Spanish-speaking world. You'll plan memorable trips with friends, arrange meetings with colleagues, discuss the arts, and exchange delicious recipes. You'll also further your ability to handle those things that are critical to establishing yourself more deeply in a community, from taking care of legal matters to more formal writing.

    While there will of course still exist many ways to improve your Spanish, and building a larger vocabulary will allow you to discuss a wider range of topics, Spanish 5 will bring you to a point where grammar will no longer be an obstacle to communication. By the time you complete this level, you will truly be an experienced Spanish speaker.

    Throughout the program, you'll use these skills at home and in the office, while talking to people about your studies and professional life, and in order to rent an apartment. You'll also shop, dine, and enjoy the entertainment that the great cities and communities of the Italian-speaking world have to offer. By the end of Italian 3, you'll have taken a major step towards becoming a serious Italian speaker, capable of handling intricate conversations and complicated situations with confidence.

    Portuguese 3 dramatically expands your ability with the language. While Levels 1+2 establish the strongest possible foundation in the language, Level 3 builds upon this base into areas of substantial complexity that add an impressive layer of subtelty and sophistication to your speech. You also begin to develop the ability to connect with Portuguese speakers around more personal topics.

    By the time we arrive at Level 3, the foundation has been set for a pivotal moment of growth. Building upon all that has been learned in the previous levels, your depth and range of communication will quickly broaden. As your skills develop with adverbs and coloquial phrases, your conversations will become more fluid and natural. Meanwhile extensive work on reflexive verbs—a very common feature in Portuguese—and direct/indirect object pronouns will add a key dimension of complexity to your speech. In the end, other important topics, such as the formation of conditional sentences, the present progressive, and expressing opinions and preferences will combine with more real-world vocabulary to bring you to a impressive level of competency in Portuguese.

    Throughout the program, you'll use these skills at home and in the office, while talking to people about your studies and professional life, and in order to rent an apartment. You'll also shop, dine, and enjoy the entertainment that the great cities and communities of the Portuguese-speaking world have to offer. By the end of Portuguese 3, you'll have taken a major step towards becoming a serious Portuguese speaker, capable of handling intricate conversations and complicated situations with confidence.
