Spanish instruction in small groups at IBERO School in Buenos Aires

Íbero Spanish School offers a fully-customizable program of Spanish classes, and works directly with educational and cultural exchange programs around the world. It offers a variety of weekly planning of activities, travel advice and a high degree of flexibility to fit into any travel schedule. 

The school is located in an historic building in the center of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  ‘Buenos Aires is the most European city of Latin America, very similar to Paris and also called the Paris of the South,’ says Florencia Bozzano Director from Íbero Spanish School. For the traveler, Buenos Aires delivers. Wander the cobbled streets, marveling at faded architectural glories and colorfully painted metal houses at La Boca.Talk world politics and fútbol (soccer) in an atmospheric old cafe; then tuck into a famously delicious Argentine steak to power a long night’s partying. Spring and fall are tourist low seasons in Buenos Aires and are the best times to visit. Hot summer nights, however, make for a wonderful experience. There are year-round festivals celebrating everything from fashion to dance to wine.

Spanish immersion classes at Íbero are offered year round and taught by fully certified, native, and bilingual instructors.  Classes are divided into 8 different language levels, with duration of three weeks to complete each level.  The most popular courses are the school’s small-group classes.  These classes are offered for four hours in both the mornings and afternoons, and are limited to between 3 and 8 students. 

The Íbero Spanish program is designed to expose students to all facets of the language: writing, reading, speaking, listening/comprehension and grammar.  Íbero has a balanced teaching approach that allows students to progress quickly while maintaining a pleasant learning environment. 

Íbero Spanish School values the experience of students and has built a program that is extensive in content and engaging for the student.   

With its own line of Íbero books, the school ensures students begin at the right level and progress at a rate that suits their learning.  This is normally done via e-mail or on the first Monday of classes, before 9 am.
