How
much spending money will I need?
It
is difficult to recommend how much money to bring because every student's
lifestyle and personal requirements are different . However, as a
very rough guide, we suggest that you budget on $150.00 per week.
This will allow you to take part in all excursions and activities,
eat out at restaurants etc.
You
should bring your money in US Dollar, Euro or Travelers' Checks.
Bring about $200.00 in cash to help you during your arrival and
first week.
All
major credit cards are readily accepted in the ARGENTINA.
What
is the Teaching Methodology?
I
apply a communicative and notion and function approach. That is to
say that our students learn in a quick and efficient way to produce
the Spanish language. My aim is to let the student communicate effectively
in written and oral Spanish.
I use diffent kind of tools such as newspapers, audio, Cds and depending
on the levels I also use natural approach, I like to go several times
with my students to a museum or to shopping malls to live the language.
What
course books & materials will I receive. Is there an exta charge?
Materials
are charged separately, they are generally photocopies, so it is
very cheap, just if a student wants to buy a dictionary or the complete
set of books they will cost a little bit more.
What
courses are available?
I
have intensive and crash general Spanish courses. Group and one to
one. Also tailored made courses, such as Business Spanish.
Is
there a leisure and activities program?
Yes.
I feature a very comprehensive program that combines fun with cultural
and educational activities. Many of the activities are free while
others require fees for transportation or entrances. All the activities
upon request.
How
is the shopping?
You
have a lot of malls where you can buy clothes, souvenirs, etc.
Then you have a lot of super markets where you can buy your food
and in some of them you can also eat.
What
makes Buenos Aires special?
The

and enterteinment, the appreciation for socializing. Friendliness.
