Faculty Information:
All the teachers are native speakers with university educations and are very experienced teaching Spanish to foreigners. Most have learned a second language themselves and understand the student's perspective. They are devoted to helping students best reach their goals and to keeping the classes enjoyable and entertaining.
Our students are professionals, travelers, students and retired people from all over the world. They are usually from Europe, USA, Australia, Canada and Brazil. This variety of nationalities creates a very rich atmosphere. The ages of our students range from 18 to 65 years old.
As regards the class structure we combine grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and reading. Students learn and practice Spanish working with written exercises, comics, listening songs, playing games, having conversations related to diverse topics, role plays, reading different kinds of texts such as newspapers, letters, interviews, literary fragments, advisements.
We have produced our own books, organized in six levels: Initial, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced intermediate, Advanced, and Superior. In each level the student works in order to develop the Spanish language through a communicative approach. We work on the four major abilities: reading, listening, writing and oral. Each level lasts 80 hours.
Other Activities:
* Our school offers you the opportunity to learn dances like salsa, tango and folklore. We visit different places where you can take the classes you want. And then you can stay and dance all the night long.
* The Colón Theater is an extraordinary theater where you can have the pleasure of enjoying operas, ballets and philharmonic orchestras. You can also choose to make a guided tour around the theater. If so, you will be able to visit the different workshops and rooms where the artists rehearse.

Facility Information:
* Private apartments. The private apartments are for those students that prefer total privacy and independence. They are fully furnished and have internet access. Students can choose an apartment on the area they prefer (subject to availability).
* Shared apartments. The shared apartment is a great option for students that want to have privacy and be more independent. The student has the opportunity to share and exchange experiences with a native Spanish speaker or another foreign student. Students have free access to the kitchen so they can prepare their own meals.
* Staying with an Argentinean family. We carefully selected a group of host families that will make the students feel comfortable and will help them in everything they can. Staying with a family helps the student to practice the language and get to know the Argentineans way of life. All the families are located in neighborhoods very near the school. They are in downtown or in residential areas. The houses are within a walking distance or near public transport.
