What They're Saying...

“I have observed hundreds of language classes in the U.S. and abroad. Elissa at Express Fluency is among the best language instructors I’ve seen– she is able to teach high-quality Spanish in a way that is joyful and with immediate and powerful results. I have never seen students so engaged and making such speedy and expansive progress as in the Express Fluency workshop.”


~ Melisa Cahnmann-Taylor, PH. D, professor of language and literacy education, University of Georgia

“If you’re looking for a great way to immerse your team in an engaging and valuable experience, this is one I personally recommend. We came away able to speak more Spanish than we would have ever imagined. Somehow they combine improv comedy, the Socratic method, and theater, turning the session into an experience that has everyone on the edge of their seats and even dancing in the aisles.”

"¡Fantástico! There was absolutely no pressure, and the weekend was so much fun that most of us started participating and trying our newfound skills within minutes. Those who preferred to stay quiet learned a lot, too, because Elissa uses pantomime, props, and laughter to reinforce the learning. I so enjoyed learning something new again."


~Betsy Schmidt, professor, UMASS Amherst

"This class is extremely fun and extremely productive! I am shocked how much Spanish I have learned without the drudgery of rote memorization or boring exercises. This is the way language is meant is meant to be acquired! I have attended several weekend intensives and intend to sign up every time they come around."

"The course was fantástico and way beyond my expectations. I thought I would learn a few words and get some sense of the language but feel I came away with a real feeling and grasp for how the language works and tons of vocabulary that is effortless to remember. I feel well-prepared for my upcoming trip to Spain."

Had so much fun in last weekend's Spanish Intensive in @downtownbrattleboro. Students joined us from as far away as East Hampton, NY and Waterbury, VT. We used props and created stories (including one where a superhero and a tiny dragon solved all of the world's problems and then had a dance party in the White House!) Our next weekend class is March 8-9. Hope to see you there! Link in bio. #brattleboro #brattleborovt #spanish #learnspanish #languageacquisition

Fifteen(!) years ago I went to my first workshop on Acquisition-Driven Instruction and it completely changed how I taught Spanish and it also changed my life! I love sharing how language acquisition works and giving people a sense of how it is posible to not only acquire a new language but to also enjoy the process.Sooo many people struggled in their language classes in school and now feel like they are “just not good at languages”. I love showing people that it’s just that the way we were taught was not aligned with how our brains are hardwired to acquire language. If you missed the free class, comment below or DM me and I will send you a link. #learnspanish #spanish #language #languageacquisition #joyfullearning #zoomclasses
