What you need to know

Overview

Have you always wanted to learn Spanish? Do you dream of exploring new places and learning about different ways of life? If so, our Spanish Language Course in Argentina is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Speaking Spanish is a useful skill to add to your CV, and learning it abroad will demonstrate your adaptability. It will help you stand out in applications and interviews, which could help your future career.

You’ll have Spanish classes with a professional teacher, and you’ll have the chance to practice what you learn each day with your host family and other local native speakers.

You don’t need any previous knowledge of Spanish to join this course, as lessons are tailored to your level and specific interests. Our Spanish Language Course in Argentina runs all year round, and you can join at any time from a minimum of one week.

You also have the option of taking this course as an add-on, combining it with a volunteer or internship programme. This is a useful way to brush up on your skills if Spanish is a requirement for the project you want to do. For example, if you want to do a medical internship in Argentina, your teacher can focus on teaching you medical Spanish, and improving your conversation skills.

A Day in the Life

A typical day on this course will begin with a home-cooked breakfast with your host family, where you will have a chance to chat in Spanish about the day ahead. Your week will run from Monday to Friday, and you will have evenings and weekends off.

If you are an early riser, you may choose to have your lessons in the morning, and spend the rest of the day sightseeing or working on a project. You can also have your classes in the afternoons. Classes take place at your host family’s home or at the Projects Abroad offices. Occasionally, you may also have classes at a local cafe or park for a change of scenery.

Aims & Impact

The aim of this course is to give you the opportunity to learn Spanish in a Spanish-speaking country.

Spanish is a widely spoken language world-wide. Because it is spoken in so many places, it is a very useful language to know when travelling. Having Spanish language skills on your CV will also help you stand out in applications and interviews.

If you choose to volunteer or intern in Argentina while learning Spanish, you will become part of our ongoing efforts to support local people. This could involve something like improving the quality of English teaching, by working with local English teachers in disadvantaged schools. You can take a look at our volunteer and internship programmes in Argentina here.

Activities

Your activities will depend on whether you choose to study full-time, or combine this course with a volunteer or internship programme. Here are some of the activities you can expect to do on this Spanish Language Course:

  • Learn Spanish during tailored language classes
  • Explore Argentina and see some of the major sights
  • Volunteer or intern, if you choose to combine your lessons with another project

This course will include the following activities:

Learn Spanish during tailored language classes

You will spend a few hours each day with a professional language teacher. You can choose to focus on basic Spanish grammar, vocabulary, or conversation, whatever interests you. If you are volunteering or interning in Argentina, you may want to learn vocabulary and conversation skills relevant to your project, in order to help you communicate more effectively.

Classes will take place either at the Project Abroad offices, or at your host family’s home. Classes will be personalised and will go at your own pace. Depending on your level, you may be placed with two or three other students during classes.

Explore Argentina and see some of the major sights

There are lots of things to do in the city of Cordoba, and you will have time to explore in the evenings and on the weekends. The lush Sarmiento Park, ancient Jesuit Block, and Evita Fine Arts Museum are just a few must-sees!

Volunteer or intern, if you choose to combine your lessons with another project

If you choose to volunteer or intern during or after your course, most of your day will be spent out in the field. For example, if you do volunteer work with children in Argentina, you will help support early childhood development in disadvantaged childcare centres. Or, you could do a medical internship in Argentina, and learn directly from doctors in a busy hospital.

Map & Location
Home of the tango, yerba mate, and Gaucho culture, Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world. From Andean peaks to Patagonian glaciers and incredible waterfalls, you’ll never run out of stunning sights and places to explore.

While Spanish is the official language, there is a strong Italian influence, reflecting its European heritage. Considered one of the safest counties in Latin America, Argentina offers adventure in abundance.

Cordoba

Cordoba, Argentina’s second-largest city, sits in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas mountains. This historic city blends Spanish colonial architecture with a youthful energy and is home to the oldest university in Argentina.

It is filled with busy bars, cafes, and restaurants that fuel its nightlife and it’s a popular choice for live music. With a pleasant climate, a flourishing arts scene, and access to both mountains and the plains, Cordoba has something for everyone.

Food & Accommodation

You will have everything you need for a fantastic experience in Argentina, including a place to sleep, three meals a day, and fresh drinking water. We’ll also pick you up from your host family and take you to and from your placement every day.

Experience the culture of Argentina from the comfort of your clean, safe, and secure host family home. Glide into the way of life and feel yourself effortlessly transform from tourist to local upon arrival.

Enjoy home-cooked meals, learn a recipe or two, practice your Spanish, and get the inside scoop on what’s good on your doorstep (and further from home). Whether you go solo, with friends, or stay with other Projects Abroad participants — you’ll feel part of the family in an instant.
