Location: InterBA Spanish Institute Buenos Aires is located in the bustling metropolis and capital city of Argentina, Buenos Aires. The school is housed in the Recoleta neighbourhood right in the centre of Buenos Aires. It is a stone's throw away from restaurants, pubs, and the famous 9 de Julio Avenue. The Recoleta neighbourhood is ripe with activities and cultural sites for students to visit. Such attractions within walking distance of the school include the Centro Cultural Recoleta, the Plaza República del Paraguay, Plaza Mitre, the National Museum of Bellas Artes, and the National Library Mariano Moreno.

Getting around: The school is in an area that offers great access to public transport networks. The closest bus stop to the school is within a 2-minute walk of the school's front doors. Ezeiza International Airport is around a 90- minute journey from the school via bus.

Social and cultural: The school views social interaction and cultural awareness as important to students learning of the Spanish language. They regularly gather with students in the afternoon and go to the many parks in the Recoleta area of the city, where students and teachers alike can sit and enjoy having the traditional argentine infusion, mate, or organise soccer matches and practise sports. In November and December, polo matches are often part of the social programme. The school also organises visits to the 3 or 4 most interesting neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires and visits the sightseeing in them.

“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 tip: “Come in summer time in Argentina. November-March. Winter was fun too to see another side of the city. ”

“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.”

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.
