Express Fluency

The goal of Express Fluency is to get you understanding and speaking a new language in the fastest and easiest way possible. Our talented educators create personalized and engaging classes based on the latest brain and language acquisition research.

Our success is founded in a direct approach and clear principles: 99% Immersion, 100% understandable

Our classes are taught in the target language. But, unlike complete immersion experiences, we make sure you understand every word because language acquisition happens unconsciously when we understand the messages we’re hearing.

Language that “sticks”

You want the new language to stick in your long-term memory, so you don’t forget it in a week. For that to happen the content needs to be interesting while at the same time repetitive. We draw upon proven techniques such as Total Physical Response (TPR®), Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS®), and other Comprehensible-Input (CI) based methods to help the language stick.

Practical, everyday language

Goodbye to lists of vegetables and tons of other vocabulary you don’t need on an everyday basis. At Express Fluency, we start with a set of about 200 core words in our beginner classes. These are words you use every day. They are the words you need when communicating in another language. And you pick them up effortlessly through hearing them used in interesting ways, not by memorizing them.

“No pain, all gain”

Many people think learning a language is painful and hard work, when in fact, the opposite is true. Believe it or not, the less we agonize over the language, the faster we learn. Express Fluency creates an anxiety-free environment because the research shows that’s the best way to maximize learning. The environment is lighthearted and fun so students feel at ease—the optimal state for acquiring language.
