GIC Argentina: Super-Intensive Spanish Immersion Program in Buenos Aires

  Argentina

• Buenos Aires: 
Buenos Aires

Term: Summer, Throughout the year 

Description: Rapidly increase your Spanish abilities with a) 3-hours per day of university Spanish instruction, taught by top UBA professors, b) meet regularly with your Argentinean Conversation Partner, c) speak Spanish for the rest of the day in your volunteer or internship position, and d) speak Spanish at night with your Argentinean roommate in your dorm or shared apartment, or with your home stay family.

By doing all of the above, you can ensure that you are either learning or speaking Spanish for most of each day and you will be amazed at how quickly your Spanish improves. We've found over the years that this type of program works best for maximizing your increase in language abilities, and we've designed this Super-Intensive Spanish Program for those wanting to see quick and immediate results, particularly in their speaking abilities.

Highlights: Why go now?

In addition to the cultural re-awakening now taking place in Argentina by far the biggest reason to go to Argentina now is the unbelievable exchange rate (3:1 US dollar to the AR peso). Living and studying in Argentina is extremely affordable! You will find that you can visit the top restaurants in the trendiest parts of town and drop no more than US6 dollars. When you live here, you won't stop yourself from fully enjoying the city because of the cost. Argentina is an ideal destination!

GIC Argentina - Grupo de Intercambio Cultural's Mission Statement: We believe that participating in a cultural exchange is more than simply traveling to or staying in another country. We believe that such exchange is a once in a lifetime opportunity to understand other cultures, increase communication across national boundaries, and allow people to come to understand the similarities that tie us together yet still gain new perspectives on the world. We further believe that by expanding our knowledge of the world we will learn to overcome barriers that so frequently separate us. These goals are particularly important considering current world events. We strive to promote good understanding and communication by means of living and learning together. In order to achieve this, every year we design and coordinate many different educational programs in a variety of areas such as languages, arts and sports. At GIC Argentina, we hope that our work in furthering these goals will contribute in some small measure to greater peace and understanding in the world.
