The combined group and individual Spanish classes start every Monday during the year, except for Argentine holidays. Lessons are Monday to Friday. This course option consists of 20 hours a week group classes from 9 am to 1 pm, and 10 hours a week of individual lessons from 2pm to 4pm.
Our average group class size is 4 students giving you plenty of one-on-one time with your teacher and ample time for questions or review. You can practice conversation, engage in group activities, improve sentence structure, and maintain fluency throughout your Spanish learning with fellow classmates. This will then be followed with an afternoon private Spanish lesson where you will have your Spanish teacher all to yourself! The advantage of this is that your private Spanish class can be exactly what you want and need it to be. Your teacher will tailor each lesson to your specific grammatical and conversational needs and their attention will be entirely focused your Spanish learning and not the needs of other classmates. In a private class oral communication is emphasized without losing attention to reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary acquirement. This combination of group and private lessons is the quickest way to advance your Spanish language skills.
All course materials, internet access and the student services that are provided at our school are included in the price. There are no reservation or booking fees.
At
Expanish we believe the best approach to learning a language is to also learn about the culture and how the two intertwine. For this reason, we organize a number of activities and workshops so that our students can apply the Spanish that they have learned in the classroom to real life situations in order to improve upon both their speaking and comprehension abilities. These activities range from weekly student / staff dinners to day trips to the delta town of Tigre to visiting an Estancia (or Argentine ranch).
We also provide accommodation options for our students with a native Spanish speaker. This allows students to practice their Spanish at home and learn about Argentine culture. Students can select a homestay (includes 2 daily meals) or shared apartment accommodation option.
