Fluenz teaches Spanish somewhat differently than other programs. It uses a video of a tutor to teach lesson. It relies on memory retention by requiring you to complete a series of increasingly complex activities which culminate in creating a complete conversation.
Unlike other programs which treat the user like a child, it focuses teaching the student useful vocabulary (related to restaurants, transportation, directions, etc.), as well as, more complex expressions and commands. It also explains how Spanish works in terms of cultural issues, providing context and anecdotes that make the process meaningful. By making sense of the language, learners actually learn.
It comes in two levels. Both levels include with two audio CDs: one recorded by Edgar Ramirez, one of Hollywood's emerging Latino actors, and the other by Ivan Loscher, one of the most recognizable voices in Spanish through his work with HBO Latin America. Edgar starred opposite Keira Knightley in Domino, played the fearsome "asset" in The Bourne Ultimatum, and has worked alongside William Hurt, Forest Whitaker, and Benicio del Toro.
Both levels also include exclusive downloadable podcasts to supplement the training included in the audio CD's
