Bariloche is truely a unique destination for learning and studying Spanish.  In Bariloche there are plenty of cultural and adventure activities available after class.

 

 In the South American winter, from end of June till the end of September, most of our students come to Bariloche to combine spanish classes with skiing or snowboarding. Very close to Bariloche we have Catedral Mountain, the most popular ski resort in Argentina and the biggest in South America.

 

The base of the ski center is only 20 kilometers from the center of Bariloche. So during the week you can have classes in the morning and go skiing or snowboarding in the afternoon. On weekends you will be free, so you can ski or snowboard the whole day.

 

Buses to the ski slopes leave 15 minutes after classes, and the school is located only 100 meters from the bus stop. We can arrange transport together with our other students, so 20 minutes after leaving classes you can be at the base of the ski center.

 

The Standard Spanish Course provides a good general knowledge of the Spanish language in a course lasting from one to eight weeks. At the end of this course, you will feel confident conversing in Spanish in everyday tasks and social situations.

This course consists of daily 4-hour lessons in small groups with a maximum of 4 students each. Our small class size ensures you a maximum interaction with our skilled professors. In Case there are no other students on your level, your 4 hours of group classes will be replaced for 3 hours of private classes, without additional costs.

 

This Intensive Spanish Course provides students not only with the advantages of learning in a group environment, but also the chance to reinforce their skills and address specific problems in private tutoring sessions.  This course consists of daily 6-hour lessons, 4 hours in small groups with a maximum of 4 students each in the morning and 2 hours private Spanish classes in the afternoon.

 

You may choose to attend this class anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks depending on the amount of time you have available and the level of skill you seek for. Within three weeks, you will be able to converse confidently with Spanish-speaking people in everyday situations. Completing the entire eight week Spanish course will provide you with all the additional Spanish vocabulary, grammar and practice needed for more fluent, deeper conversations.

 

At our Bariloche campus, learning the language does not stop when the class is over. You'll have the opportunity to join your friends and fellow students during the afternoon and evening activities, ranging from mountain treks to salsa dance lessons. This way, you can put your new Spanish skills to work in real life situations.  In our home stay program, you will have a chance to live with a middle-class Argentine family not only practicing your Spanish on a daily basis, but also having the opportunity to get a first-hand view of everyday life in Argentina.

 

We believe that the best way to learn a language is by enjoying it. For that reason our school organize a great number of activities, where you can practice all you learned during your Spanish classes, learn more about the Argentine culture as well get to know other students which might be the beginning of a lifelong friendship. All our activities are included in our course prices, but some may have an addition cost for transport, entrance fees or drinks and meals.
