Spanish school
Our Spanish school in Buenos Aires is located close to the famous Florida Street in Buenos Aires downtown. The area is among the most visited neighborhoods in the city, boasting some of Buenos Aires’s most important monuments as well as many popular restaurants and bars. Within close proximity, you will find various museums, plazas, pedestrian shopping streets, the presidential palace, the national congress and Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world! With easy access to the subway, restaurants, pubs and discos, there is plenty to see in Buenos Aires – a city that never sleeps!
Our Spanish school is in a beautiful refurnished historic building. The school has modern and spacious classrooms, a multimedia room, a meeting room, a cafeteria, an open air area, a teacher´s room, an equipped kitchen und free WIFI for the students.

School location
Look out culture fans - Buenos Aires is the capital of culture in South America! Whether it’s concerts, theatres, art exhibitions, or world-famous tango shows, colorful neighborhoods, and dazzling nightlife - Buenos Aires has something to offer for everybody! Everything that this thriving metropolis has to offer ensures many weeks, or even months, of fun and exploration while learning and practicing Spanish!
Argentina's capital is often called the Paris of South America because of its beautiful architecture and picturesque streets. Buenos Aires is as well famous for its restaurants, designer boutiques, book shops and many other attractions.
Buenos Aires is located next to the Río de la Plata, and the fresh air of the sea cleanses the city of smog despite the nearly 15 million inhabitants living in the metropolitan area. The metropolitan population makes Buenos Aires one of the largest cities in the world! Although smog might not be that big an issue, the amount of traffic in Buenos Aires is extensive and the drivers don’t always follow the rules of the road.
The best time to visit Argentina is the spring (September-November) and fall (March-May), which boast an average daily temperature of around 26 °C (79 °F). The summer months (December- February) hold hot, humid weather, good for lazy days by the pool or temperate nights in the mountains.
Spanish classes
Our language school in Buenos Aires offers special programs that promote speaking, listening, and comprehension. On the first day of class, you will take a placement test to determine your Spanish skills. Classes focus on three different topics: studying grammar, deepening and applying new grammar through different exercises, and conversation training. Students will gain linguistic confidence as the school tailors each program to what best fits their personal needs.
Spnish levels
Students are assigned to one of 6 proficiency levels (A1 presente/pasado, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) according to CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages). On your first day of school, or online beforehand, you will do a placement test in order to determine your current level.

This option is designed to consider your individual needs and expectations. During the course, you will be exposed to a wide variety of topics according to your interests. It is tailor-made to your own personal needs. This course is perfect if you do not have much time to study and want to focus on a specific area.
Intensive course
31 lessons / week (25 group + 6 private).
The intensive course combines the group course and 6 additional private Spanish lessons per week. It is meant to help you deepen your learning experience and to accomplish a higher level of proficiency of the Spanish language in a shorter time. You will improve your learning experience following the regular syllabus and with the extra private lessons per week, you will be able to work on your weak points and topics of interest.
Accommodation
An important aspect of a stay abroad is a nice, safe living environment. We hope that students completely immerse themselves in the Argentinian culture, in order to get the most out of their stay in this amazing country. Students can do so by living in a homestay, which provides the unique opportunity to really get to know the country, become part of the society, and experience the local culture and cuisine. Many of our hosts already have received many students from different nationalities, occupations and ages and therefore know very well, what it needs to be a good host. Living in a homestay is the best way to learn local customs, likes, and style while you practice your Spanish. Homestay includes a single room and breakfast or half-board (breakfast and dinner).
If you prefer to live with several local and foreign students, you can choose to stay in a private room in any of the students' residences we offer you. Sharing a place with young people from all over the world is a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and make new friends. This option is self-catering, and the bathrooms are shared.
