GENERAL INFORMATION - SPANISH COURSES

Our Spanish courses are specially
designed for foreign students, covering all aspects of learning a new language
(speaking, listening, writing and reading skills). Four 55-minute classes are
held every day from Monday to Friday and students can decide the length of their
course.

Our flexibility, enthusiasm and communication-orientated classes ensure that
you will be totally immersed in the Argentine life, learning the language more
efficiently.

Levels - Placement test

Spanish Courses are divided into six levels:
Basic (2), Intermediate (2) and Advanced (2) depending on your knowledge of
Spanish. You will be given a placement test on your first day to evaluate your
level, identify your individual needs and assign you to the corresponding class.

Furthermore, students may take private, personalized classes (one on one
instruction).

Length of the Spanish Course

Classes are held Monday to Friday and
students are free to choose the length of their Spanish course. A minimum of 1
week is required for group classes. There are classes every day, for a period of
four hours, each lesson lasting 55 minutes.

Class Size
The average size of a class is 3, never exceeding more than 7 students per class. Spanish courses groups are organized according to the
student's level of Spanish.

Teachers

All our teachers are native Spanish speakers from
Argentina, trained and experienced in teaching Spanish to foreigners. They have
teaching degrees and are culturally sensitive. Having traveled to different
countries, they are able to interact successfully with the students and offer
assistance when needed.

Teaching method - Materials

Our Syllabus is specially designed for
foreign students. Using various interactive methods, more emphasis is placed on
communication.

The teaching material has been carefully prepared to connect areas of
listening comprehension and oral communication. We encourage the active
participation of our students with different games and materials such as current
newspaper clippings, magazine articles, etc, which help them to acquire more
fluency in the language.

In addition, we organize extra curricular activities so that our students
have the option to participate in a minimum of 2 activities per week. Thus, the
program becomes more than just a language course; it is also an opportunity of
immersion into Argentine culture, customs and way of life.
