Hi, we are planning to be in Buenos Aires next month and would like to book some spanish classes for when we are there. We are pretty much complete beginners and would like to learn with a group we think for the social aspect. Have heard that some companies include accomodation so you can socialise afterwards. Has anyone done this and was it a good experience? Is a week long enough to learn the necessities? Is it best to book before arriving in BA and what sort of prices are we likely to pay?
Reply to this Amauta is a great Spanish school with loads of options for group and individual classes, and extra cultural activities too. I studied in Cusco but I know they have a school in BA too. Would definitely recommend looking into it. Me and my girlfriend had the best time 😊
Reply to this I am looking for something similar, hopefully with group classes and some individual ones too if I need them. How long did you stay at Amauta for? I think I will consider it as I like the sound of extra cultural stuff too haha. Kier have you found anything else yet?

Hi guys!
for anybody who's planning to visit Buenos Aires and wants to learn Spanish while enjoys the city in a real and alternative way!
feel the experience of being an Argentinean!forget about boring classes!
you'll learn Spanish while you discover its streets, walking or by bike!you'll taste its wines and cook its dishes, familiarizing with its history, meeting all kind of people!3-days tour!you are the only owner of your time, so you choose your way of learning!

Reply to this I think you may want to separate your social activities and your lessons a little more. My first week in Buenos Aires studying at Ailola Buenos Aires was a revelation. I thought I would socialize with the other students in my class, but our instructor suggested other ideas. He pointed out that it was OK to socialize with each other, but it would not give us the same experience as socializing with Argentine students or families.
I spent most of my free time with some Argentine college students who pushed me to practice Spanish with them and showed me some great places to go in Buenos Aires. I did keep one evening per week free to spend with the other students from the school, but almost all of us ventured off on our own on the other days. I ran into a few of them at different venues in the city, but we usually chatted a few moments and then went on with our own group of friends. It was great advice from the teacher.
