Why the Cortez Method™ Works Where Others Don’t

Aug 28, 2025

Learning Spanish is one of the most common goals for language learners worldwide. With so many options—apps, tutoring sites, immersion trips—it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Yet despite the effort, many people still can’t hold a fluent conversation.

That’s where the Cortez Method™ makes all the difference. Since 2002, this proven system has helped thousands of learners become confident Spanish speakers. Here’s why it works when others fall short.


Apps: Great for Drills, Weak for Fluency

Language apps excel at repetition. You’ll tap, swipe, and match words—but when it’s time to speak, the confidence isn’t there. Apps rarely explain why Spanish works the way it does, and they can’t answer your questions. The result? Lots of practice, little progress.


Tutoring Sites: Hit or Miss

Finding a Spanish tutor online can feel like a gamble. Some are excellent, but many lack certification, experience, or a structured method. Without a clear curriculum, lessons are improvised and inconsistent. Students often end up with gaps in their learning instead of fluency.


Immersion Trips: Fun, But Temporary

Spending two weeks in Spain or Mexico sounds exciting, but immersion without structure is like a fad diet. It works temporarily, but once you’re home, progress fades quickly. Without reinforcement, immersion experiences rarely lead to lasting fluency.


Why the Cortez Method™ Works

The Cortez Method™ is built on three pillars that guarantee real progress:

  • Conversation first: Students speak from day one in natural contexts.

  • Step-by-step structure: Like climbing stairs, each lesson builds on the last.

  • Certified instructors: Every teacher is trained and experienced in guiding learners.

To reinforce learning, students receive high-quality materials—workbooks, flashcards, practice guides—and an official Certificate of Completion at every stage.

The result is clear: students don’t just study Spanish, they become Spanish speakers.
