“I had 2 hours per day for two weeks. My Spanish was zero when I started, the first week was challenging because we focused on verbs and structure, never my forte, but so necessary, given my complete ignorance of the language. The second week forced me to speak, always the most challenging part, but my teacher was brilliant at bringing me out my shell. I am hardly fluent, but feel more confident to try and speak.”
“I believe the school got it absolutely right, having decided after a pre-school questionnaire that I really needed to start with the basics.”
Insider tip: “Not really, it's a very relaxed school, just engage.”

“The three-week language course exceeded my expectations. I learnt a lot, not only about Spanish but also about Mendoza and the culture in Argentina. I also liked the fact that we had several different teachers and were able to get to know something new and a different teaching style with each one. The teachers were very committed and always responded to our wishes and really wanted us to understand everything. The classes were very small, which was ideal for learning. In addition to the school, many excursions were offered and the teachers gave tips for activities in the area. All the staff, including the boss and secretaries, were very friendly.”
“Everything perfect!”
