Whatever your level; learning Spanish in Buenos Aires is the best way to accelerate your learning experience as you can immerse yourself in the rich local culture and progress rapidly by practising your new found skills in your free time.

After your Spanish lessons in the morning, you will go learn to dance the classic Argentinean Tango in the afternoon. Here you will be taught by experienced and passionate instructors who will not only teach you how to master the dance but also teach you about the rich culture and way of life behind Argentinean Tango.

Who Are Our Guests?
- People come from all over the world and you’ll never be placed in a class with just English speakers so that you use the language you are learning rather than resorting to chatting in English
- Ages vary, but the typical language learner falls in to the 20-60 age bracket though we have no age limit and we’ve had guests in their 70s and 80s studying languages with us
- During the summer and in university holiday times the average age typically drops and there are many guests in their 20s
- Over 90% of our language learners travel solo and every school organises social and cultural activities to help you get to know others at the school outside of class
