How we make it
Made to be kept.
ProFluency makes tools for conversation that are meant to be kept. Here is what they're made of, where they're made, and what we're still working on, in plain words. Dime Más is our first range, so it leads the way.

No shrink-wrap.
The box doesn't come shrink-wrapped, and its laminate is recyclable, so there's nothing extra to peel off and throw away.

One deck, many conversations.
The cards aren't used up. Shuffle, draw, and the same deck starts a different conversation every time: no screen, no batteries, no subscription.
Every product
Our promise.
We make every product to be kept, and from recycled material wherever we can: the cards, the box and the Journal. If any part of a product isn't recycled, or can't go in your recycling, we'll say so plainly on its page.
The Journal.
The Dime Más Journal is coming soon. It will be printed on recycled paper by an FSC®-certified printer, and we'll share the rest of how it's made before it launches.
What we haven't done yet.
- We haven't measured our carbon footprint yet.
- We don't offset.
Pass it on.
Finished with your deck? Give it to a language exchange, a school, a library, or a friend who's moving abroad.
Why it matters
A note from the founder.
ProFluency is about bringing people from different cultures closer, and conversation is where that starts. Dime Más is made for the table: for the moment someone asks a real question and everyone leans in.
Something made for moments like that should last. I'd rather make one deck you keep and come back to than something you use once and throw away. That's why the cards are printed here in the UK, on recycled card, by an FSC®-certified printer.
It's also why this page exists. I'd rather tell you plainly what we've done, and what we haven't yet, than dress it up. If you know a way we could do better, I'd love to hear it.
