Spanish Language Schools in Argentina:  About the Program and Its Purpose

Spanish is a magnificent and widespread language; a language that is spoken by nearly 400 million people (2nd only to Mandarin Chinese) around the world, including throughout the country of Argentina.  Studying here will give you the opportunity to hear the language as it is actually spoken, not just from the instructor, but also from classmates and everyone else you encounter during this adventure of self-enrichment.

Just like dancing the Tango, the classroom portion of your studies will have a true Argentine flair—upbeat, fast-paced and truly unique.  That’s because unlike other language programs—programs that merely attempt to teach through rote memorization—in Argentine immersion classes you’ll be constantly engaged.  Whether through small group interaction with classmates or one-to-one discussions with your native-speaking instructor, you’ll always have on-the-spot feedback and support.  Studies show that full immersion courses are as much as 10 times more effective than the standard book or audio tape approach, not just in terms of the time it takes to learn Spanish—which will be exponentially amplified in Argentina—but also in terms of your level of comprehension, which ultimately leads to mastery.  

Where Will I Study in Argentina?

There are several cities and regions in Argentina where full-immersion language courses are offered, allowing you to choose the program that best suits you according to the type of environment and amenities you prefer.  If you enjoy the hustle and bustle of the cityscape, for example, a place where you can enjoy museums, galleries and a non-stop nightlife scene, then you may want to set your sights for Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital and largest city.  Buenos Aires is definitely where you’ll locate the greatest concentration of language schools, along with the best combination of sightseeing, enrichment opportunities and fine local and international cuisine.

If you’re looking for a more peaceful experience, you may want to check out Patagonia.  This region is located in the south, a territory that comprises the southern part of the Andes Mountains and is shared by both Argentina and Chile.    Patagonia is a nature-lover’s dream, with stunning year-round flora and more bird and wildlife varieties than you could possibly count.  Populated just enough to allow you to practice the new language skills you picked up, bet yet desolate enough to enable you to relax and recharge your batteries, Patagonia is the ideal place to stage your encounter with full-immersion language learning.
