PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Taking part in a language immersion course in a Spanish-speaking country is the most effective, inspiring and fun way to learn and consolidate a language. With an estimated 500 million Spanish-speakers in 21 countries worldwide, discover just how many doors this language can open to you. Embrace a new culture, new friends and new opportunities.

Travellers have two types of Spanish Course available, both of which are available at Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced level. The different options for Spanish Courses are:

• Lessons with a private teacher
• Intensive courses at the University of Buenos Aires
   

PRIVATE LESSONS:
These will be held at a nearby language centre with a qualified Spanish teacher. They are monthly courses of 10 hours per week (five two hour lessons) and are individually tailored to your level of expertise. The lessons are usually arranged on a one to one basis where you will receive individual tuition and lessons prepared especially for you. During your course, one lesson each week will be held at a cultural place to enable you to practice you Spanish in real life situations.

At the end of the course, you’ll receive a Certificate issued by the Institute your teacher belongs to, stating that you have done the course, to what level, and the duration in hours of the course you have completed.

These lessons can be taken for a period of one month or more and have no set start and finish dates. Private lessons are recommended if you are a complete beginner and want to spend time learning at your own pace. This is also a great option if you want to combine Spanish lessons with another programme, such as teaching.  

INTENSIVE COURSE:
This is a one-month intensive course of 15 hours of lessons per week. You'll attend three hours of classes a day and all classes are in the afternoon. This course covers a total of 60 hours tuition over one month. If you are doing Intensive lessons at the same time as another placement, you'll have quite a busy schedule. This course starts at the beginning of each month - please contact us for exact dates as you will need to arrive a day or two before hand in order to be enrolled.

If you want to pack in a lot of learning instead of having a relaxed placement, we can combine your University course with additional lessons from Spanish teachers. Your schedule for all of the courses given above will allow time for studying and also time for sightseeing and absorbing the experience of being in the Argentina culture.
