Let's Exchange!
Buenos Aires is a city that has people from all over the world currently calling it home. It’s amazing quality of life combined with friendly people and great food make it a highly desirable destination. Thousands of Expats from all over the world have emigrated to Argentina, and many of them participate in language exchanges.
These informal get-togethers (usually at a bar) bring people from all over the world together to learn languages. The people at these meet ups are not professionals, they are students like you who are helping others learn their native language (and they learn your native language in exchange).
Total Immersion
It’s often said that total immersion is the best way to learn a language. It’s thought that this is one of the reasons children are able to master their native tongue so quickly. Being surrounded by a language that you need to understand for daily life speeds up the process dramatically. If you’re looking to learn Spanish, being in Buenos Aires (or any other Spanish speaking country) while learning will significantly reduce the learning curve.
Long Distance Learning
For many people just starting to learn Spanish the idea of total immersion can be a little daunting. Especially if you have not spent much time traveling before.
