Fluent City, the most New York startup you’ll read about today, announced today that it scored a $2.5 million.
Fluent City started as a service offering language classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, with the new funding, the startup wants to expand to other courses, including mixology and French culture — the latter with a course called “French State of Mind,” in which “you’ll embark on a sensory journey to explore the melting pot of modern France.”

Language classes are available in NYC, Boston, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia. Unfortunately, Fluent City’s “uncommon experiences” service is currently only available in NYC.
