Positive aspects of school
The teaching style was very good. I felt that my teacher was of very high quality and structured the 3-hour class without using textbooks so that I would not get bored.
Negative aspects
It was inconvenient that I could not pay the balance of tuition to the school with a credit card. I had USD cash so I could pay.

Positive aspects of school
Very well equipped, prepared and organised, very competent, responsive to individual wishes, overall very professional.
Negative aspects
If you want to have a bigger learning group for the purpose of joint activities, you should come during the main travel times. Also, the LanguageCourse.net WhatsApp group is hardly used during off-peak times (due to lack of participants). However, InterBA itself has organised very nice activities.

City/place
The city offers everything of a big city and is a highlight due to its location, history and culture and also a starting point to other sights (Iguazu, Patagonia, ...). The metro system offers many fast connections within an otherwise chronically jammed city that, like many cities, struggles with traffic problems. The friendliness of the inhabitants is roughly comparable to Berlin, although many people in BA have to deal with the economic situation and therefore have other worries. If you need information, however, Buenos Aires scores well ahead of Berlin. The language course at InterBA prepares you for an easier interaction in BA (manners, peculiarities in BA and practical things like ordering a taxi, best connections from the airports, differences in language and pronunciation in Argentina compared to other countries in Latin America, ...). This facilitated communication and orientation in the city.

Positive aspects of school
I am Hagen Javier from the USA. In 6 weeks I not only learned how to speak Spanish very well, I learned how to formulate my sentences correctly to build upon my time around Spanish speakers. Very well organized, and the excursions every week are a great way to know the city and to know other people. I was the only student in my class since I came in the middle of winter, but the quality of learning was very high.

Nothing, I loved it all

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
If you want a group experience, it may not be suitable.
Quality of teaching / language progress
I was the only student of Ludmila so I had a private course. I didn’t get to meet other students but I progressed a lot in Spanish and enjoyed very much my classes with Ludmila. She is charming and a wonderful teacher.
Accommodation
The room was okay but pretty basic. The hostess was polite but not too friendly. I didn't benefit much from staying with her in terms of practicing Spanish.
