HABLA's Functionally Fluent! Spanish-Learning System
"These materials helped me learn more Spanish than anything I'd used before - and believe me, I'd used lots of materials - online programs, textbooks, apps, you name it! This is by far the best system I've used.
I've just finished the Beginner level, and I'm excited to complete the whole series on my own."
Craig Smith, Project Manager, Houston

HABLA's Functionally Fluent! program consistently receives rave reviews! Created by HABLA owner Diana Gruber, who speaks six languages fluently and has been teaching for over twenty years, our program is backed by a real-life school and has made thousands of Americans fluent in Spanish. Students report these are the best materials they've ever used for language-learning, and that the value far exceeds the price. In fact, we guarantee you'll learn more Spanish with Functionally Fluent!'s system than with any tool you've used before - or your money back!
The series consists of three levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The program is designed for professional adult learners who want to connect with Spanish-speakers in their lives, in the US and abroad.
We know many interactions with Spanish-speakers happen at work, so we've created supplements like Spanish for Lawyers, Spanish for Nurses and Medical Professionals, Spanish for Business, Spanish for Teachers, Spanish for Missionaries and Non-Profits, Spanish for Travelers, Spanish for Construction, and others.
The books are graphically rich, streamlined, and non-intimidating. Check out the format in the sample pages above, including fun dialogs, funny excerpts, and engaging photos. The approach is organized and empowering - at the end of each chapter and level, you'll check off the things you've learned to do in Spanish - introduce yourself, order a meal, tell a story, make future plans, and much more! The accompanying free audio downloads and/or inexpensive CDs provide an essential pronunciation component, and are great for reviewing in your car or home.
Functionally Fluent! is also being expanded to other languages - click here to learn French, learn Italian, learn German, learn Portuguese, learn English (ESL - English as a Second Language), and more.
