Studying Spanish in Argentina
I took a four-week course at Vamospanish and was delighted with the experience. The course is conversation-intensive, which was incredibly useful given that speaking tends to be the most difficult skill to master in learning a new language. I had already been in Argentina for several months, but I was too fearful of making errors to try to use any tenses other than the present and simple past. Since the class ended I have been talking a lot more, attempting to use more sophisticated language, self-correcting, and making my errors with more confidence (because not trying at all won’t lead to improvement).
My teacher (Agostina) was tremendous. She engaged on a personal level with the students and was incredibly flexible regarding both what we wanted to and needed to learn to progress with our Spanish. The topics we discussed in class were extremely interesting and covered a wide spectrum, including (among other things) grammar, recipes, art, poetry, culture, politics, and sports. I was excited to come to class each day and the exercises we were given will also be useful for future review. I would definitely take another Spanish course at Vamos Spanish Academy.
