This program is especially designed for people who need to learn Spanish quickly, primarily for employment reasons.

It is based on a total immersion model which leads to guaranteed success in a short period of time. Special attention will be given to cultural differences between the western world and Latin America (barriers, codes etc.) and Spanish in (formal) working situations.

During the morning, the student starts with four hours of private classes. Immediately after classes, the teacher will take him/her out to lunch in one of the nearby restaurants. After a short break, three hours of special visits follow. We have a unique assort of visits to offer. These include tourist highlights, but also local parks, museums, shops, handicrafts markets and other sites tailored to your Spanish language needs.

The program is flexible and totally adaptable to the individual student. On Saturday, the student will be offered a day excursion (e.g. El Tigre, El Matadero, one of the beautiful estancias around San Antonio de Areco, or a ‘cultural and shopping day’ in the city of Buenos Aires. This will include visits to exhibitions, beautiful souvenir shops and handcraft markets). Since all classes are individual, the course can start any Monday of the year and there are no requirements for your level.

• Minimum one week.
