Why study Spanish abroad?

Learning Spanish is not supposed to be memorizing grammar tables. We know you want to learn our language to use it. Therefore immersion programs are a fast easy and fun way to learn Spanish. Nothing else compares.

Along with that, we do our best to introduce you to our wonderful culture and magnificent sceneries of our country.

We offer teaching and learning opportunities to college graduates (aged between 22 to 30 years old)  who wish to spend 4 months or more in Argentina allowing them to experience first hand Argentina culture while at the same time exposing families to a different culture themselves.

Participants are given TESOL training prior to their placement (previuos Spanish knowledge is not required).

They are placed in homestay and given 10 hours of Spanish classes a week having the possibility to sit for the DELE exams.

Argentina has always been on the largest English teaching job markets in South America. English language schools typically offer approximately 20 to 25 hours of work per week leaving plenty of time to travel, explore an enjoy from the tango dance, to the assorment of malbec wines, to delicious dulce de leche and fresh empanadas and sumptuous plates of asado and friendly mate and to the widely soccer sport. Argentina has something for everyone.

This program requires persons who are enthusiastic, flexible, creative, adventurous and have a commitment to excellence.

The first semester of the year starts on February 15th and finishes at the end of June. The second semester starts on July 15th and finishes at the end of November.

During the first two weeks you will receive intensive TESOL training and Spanish classes. All the material needed will be provided as well as room and board. You will have classes in the morning and in the afternoon. We are a group of individuals united by the love of teaching. We are going to give you confidence to do something different. (We recommend you to come two or three days before the training course starts so you will be able to visit the city on your own. We will be delightful to pick you up at the airport and take you to the hostel you have chosen. Then we will also pick you up at the place you are staying in order to take you to the place where the training course takes place).

After these two training weeks your host family will be waiting for you. Once you have setted there you will work giving English classes and you will earn U$ 200 as a salary monthly depending on the quantity of hours worked and you will also receive 10 hours of Spanish classes a week. You will be prepared to sit for the different levels of DELE exams (the exams are in May, August or November). We will be permanently coaching you.
