Welcome to Fluency Fast!
Fluency Fast is a unique program
designed to teach the highest frequency vocabulary in
a target language in a 3 to 4 day class. Follow-up on-line
classes and materials reinforce what was learned in this
highly comprehensible, laid back and very entertaining
immersion environment. By learning highest frequency words
in context instead of random lists of vocabulary and verb
conjugations, you will learn more than you ever did in
high school. There is no such thing as a person who isn't
good at learning languages.
Elementary school teachers in
Nebraska took pre and post tests during our June class.
Pre-test scores were 42.9%. Post-test scores were 84%.

After 15 hours of Fluency
Fast instruction, one "true beginner" from each
of our classes was videotaped telling a two minute story.....
in the language they just learned.
Can you really speak a new language after four days? Watch
the video.

MISSION: The
mission of Fluency Fast is to create and sustain
a movement that causes a global shift in consciousness
by transforming communications among individuals,
communities, and countries and inspiring people
to use language as a tool to build bridges with
other cultures. Our goal is to dispel the
myth that learning languages is difficult and to
inspire people to have fun learning Arabic, French,
German, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish, easily, inexpensively,
effectively and in a brief period of time.

At Fluency Fast, we bypass the traditional
approach to teaching and create fun, effective, and
affordable personal interactive workshops. No computer
- no exhausting memorization exercises - just a proven,
profound and effective way of learning.
Fluency Fast uses several comprehension
based methods, including The Natural Approach (Krashen
and Terrell), Total Physical Response® (Asher),
Personalized Storytelling and Story-Asking and reading
to optimize the natural ability of the human brain to
acquire languages. The second language is taught just
as the first language was, through gestures, personalized
stories and simple language. We start with the highest
frequency vocabulary in the target language, rather
than a random list of greetings or vegetables or professions.
We use words like have, takes, wants, goes, needs, looks
at and combine them with words that are similar to English
(important, chocolate, hospital, doctor, emergency).
Soon, the student is rapidly acquiring basic sentence
structure with the most crucial of vocabulary words.
While many of our students have taken
a language previously, 90% of those say that they don't
speak a word. Many also have had no previous exposure
to languages. After taking Fluency Fast classes, those
students learn that even though they thought they were
not good at languages, that they are actually quite
naturally talented.
In the United States, only 9% of Americans
speak both their native language and another language
fluently.
In Europe, over 50% speak a second language
and 80% of students ages 15-24 can have a normal conversation
in at least one foreign language.

Fast is an equal opportunity educator and employer.

sexual orientation, disability or age.
