Spanish School in Buenos Aires, Argentina – Newly arrived in a big city, from a diverse range of countries, ages, backgrounds, staying for varying periods of time to gel and get along? Most people would find this a nearly impossible task but they seem to manage it at ECELA Spanish School in Buenos Aires with the fantastic range of activities on offer and the care they take to attend to students’ needs. Be it housing, trips out of town, nightclubs, restaurants or healthcare there is always someone on hand to advise. Most of the staff are born and bred Porteños too so the advice is as authentic as it can possibly be!
Having taught English as a foreign language myself I can appreciate the quality of the Spanish teaching at ECELA BA. All of the teachers used the most up to date L2 techniques and as well as having a passion for their native language the general atmosphere was one that seemed to be designed to foster active communication wherever possible. Many of the teachers speak 3 or 4 languages themselves and have a fervent interest in linguistics. As well as the usual classes there are also free tutorials every day and conversational groups in the evenings. As well as all this what really came as a pleasant surprise however was the attention the non teaching staff paid to the extra curricular needs of the students. I would recommend ECELA Spanish School in Buenos Aires to anyone, of any age, from any background who has a passion for new experiences.
