Spanish &
Art
This course promises to be a treat whether you have
in depth experience studying art or are a novice
simply curious about Argentine art. All activities
are conducted in Spanish so some basic knowledge
of the language is recommended.
The
following activities are included during the first
week of your program:
20 hours of group Spanish class (4 students maximum)
1 lecture on Argentine art history.
4 guided visits to the most important art museums
in Buenos Aires, accompanied by your Spanish teacher.
Museums include the Museo Nacional de Bellas
Artes and the MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano
de Buenos Aires), just to name a few.
Additional weeks include 20 hours of group Spanish
class and 2 guided visits to museums per week, accompanied
by your Spanish teacher. This is ideal for
students who want a more complete experience, as
it will allow you to discover some of the lesser-known,
but equally interesting museums of the city. Of
course, we always try to tailor the visits to your
particular interests. Get ready to discover Argentina
through its art!.
Spanish &
History
For those of you looking to learn more about the
history of Argentina, this course is just for you.
In addition to your 20 hours of group Spanish class
per week, you will have 2 hours per day of private
instruction focusing on the history of Argentina.
Lessons will be based on assigned readings which
require a high-intermediate level of Spanish proficiency.
Spanish &
Cuisine
This add-on is great for students looking to try
some of the different typical dishes of Argentina,
while still practicing their Spanish with a teacher!
You will have a chance to try Argentina's famous
"parrillada" (barbecue), cuisine from the North
such as "locro," a typical milanesa, and of course
the delicious Italian cuisine found all over the
city.
Spanish Through
Music
If you love music, this program will prove a fun
and entertaining way to improve your Spanish.
Every day you will focus on a different well-known
South American song, which will act as a springboard
for conversation and practice! The course is
composed of a variety of musical genres (pop, national
rock, tango, folklore, etc.) and covers a wide variety
of lexical, grammatical, and cultural topics.
Each
lesson was specially designed for use
in the Spanish as a foreign language classroom.
This a fun and effective way to sharpen your listening
and speaking skills, while immersing yourself
in the musical traditions of South America.

must have a high-intermediate level of Spanish
or higher to take this course. This program can
be added to a regular Spanish course or, in the

CELU Preparation
The CELU (Certificado de Español Lengua y
Uso) is the only Spanish proficiency exam recognized
by the Argentine Ministry of Education. The
exam measures the ability to communicate in Spanish
in “real-life” situations, and the certificate
is of great value for those who plan to attend a
Spanish university or work in Spanish-speaking environments.
The
CELU test preparation course combines intensive
general Spanish classes in the morning with one-on-one
preparation sessions in the afternoon. The preparation
sessions will familiarize students with the exam
format and allow them to practice activities similar
to those required by the test including listening,
reading, writing, and speaking. The CELU is administered
twice a year, generally in May and in November.
