Why learn Spanish in Buenos Aires?
A language stay in Buenos Aires puts you in a Latin American capital unlike any other. It sits on the vast Río de la Plata, its avenues are lined with ornate European-style buildings, and the Teatro Colón ranks among the world's great opera houses. Dinner rarely starts before nine, and you'll soon catch the local Rioplatense accent, with its 'vos' and soft 'sh' sounds.
It suits students who want a big, cultural city, gap-year travellers planning to explore South America afterwards, and adults drawn to tango, literature and food. Classes run from complete beginner to advanced, and a placement test on your first day puts you in the right group straight away.
