Learn Spanish in Cordoba
Spanish Immersion in Argentina
Learning Spanish abroad in Cordoba, Argentina is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Argentina is the second largest country in South America and borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. With an enormously varied climate, travelers can visit sub-Antarctic rainforests, tropical jungles, mountains, beaches, desert red canyons and awesome waterfalls. The bus system is one of the best in the world, offering movies, meals, and comfortable service to all areas. The population mix, as in Chile and Uruguay, is very different from the rest of Latin America because the population is almost all European. Most of the indigenous people were wiped out in wars during the 19th century.
Learn Spanish Language in Argentina:
Virtually undiscovered by North American tourists, this city has a little of everything for visitors. Founded in 1573, Cordoba boasts many colonial style cathedrals and buildings. Like many other cities in Latin America built by the Spanish, the city was designed using a grid system and is void of intimidating skyscrapers making it easy to navigate despite its size (population 1.5 million). Cordoba is alive with a university town feel, offering many cultural activities and an active nightlife while still being one of Argentina’s most important industrial centers.
School Facilities:
Downtown within proximity to the city’s shopping district. Students can enjoy services such as swimming pool, a garden, a bar, and a library. Capacity is 40 students/day.
Participants:
Mainly from Europe but we expect nearly as many North Americans.
Accreditation Memberships:
