I had thought about purchasing other language "learn at your own pace" software for Italian for a few years. I finally decided to go ahead and buy one and stumbled upon Fluenz. I had never heard of it prior to this and was about to buy Rosetta Stone since I had their free demo. Fluenz, had a different approach, however, which was to teach conversational Italian - words, phrases, etc. which would be used in the real world. All the lessons are presented in an interesting way with explanations of why words and phrases are used. I decided I'd buy it and I'm extremely pleased with the teaching approach. It teaches you the language in a way you can use almost immediately with phrases which you will use on a trip to Italy - what you learn is everyday speaking. Definitely would recommend!

I am a native of Brazil so I already speak a few romance languages. But French has always been a challenge to me. The pronunciation is very distinct from Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. Besides, I have reached a certain age that makes "learning new tricks" a bit more intimidating if you know what I mean. Fluenz has transformed the ways I used to think of language acquisition. It is fun, accessible and the pace is just right. Sonia and her team have really put a lot of thinking into how adults learn. I felt comfortable and challenged by the method at the same time. The best part is that it did not take me months to start "speaking" the language. I felt confident right away to try my newly acquired skills with my French speaking friends. Later on when I traveled to France, my experience with the culture was richer and much more rewarding because of my ability to understand a lot of what was being said. Merci beaucoup Fluenz team! I am hooked. Can't wait to start French 2, 3, 4 and 5!

This is by far a better method of teaching as opposed to ( Rosetta Stones). I regrated buying Rosetta after a few weeks. Experiencing like i didn't learned much, and their methods were not very helpful. It would be nice if you can communicate with others live people. But not a big deal.

I have tried both programs and I found Fluenz to be the best by far to teach myself Italian. I used Rosetta Stone to see how their program worked, I found myself lost after just a few chapters. I would highly recommend Fluenz to anyone wanting to learn a new language. Fluenz is a well thought out program that eases you into the new language.

I am really learning alot, and it is not boring.

I have attempted to become proficient with the beautiful Italian language for several years. No other program has helped me to advance my skills as fast as Fluenz. I am now mid-level three. I'm doing well and can't wait to start the next level. Thsnk you so much!

I have tried Rosetta Stone and French in Action. I feel I am learning quicker with Fluenz. My only criticism is the DVD doesn't give one enough time to think of the reply in French before the answer is given and sometimes I can't understand what is being said.

If you can't afford private foreign language training and want to learn a foreign language at your own pace, then Fluenz is the program for you. I have both the Spanish and German programs and really like how there is a tutor in each session to explain things. There are plenty of written exercises to do to test your comprehension and if you type an incorrect answer, you can easily find out what you did wrong, correct it, and move on. You can also record your voice so that you know what to improve as far as your pronunciation. Fluenz is far superior to Rosetta Stone. The software is also easy to download onto your computer, Ipad, or Iphone. Technical support is very good, too.
