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.

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.
