REASONS TO STUDY SPANISH IN BARILOCHE

SAN CARLOS DE BARILOCHE
Bariloche is a stunning tranquil town, situated in NW Patagonia by the Andes, in the heart of the lake district and within the Nahuel Huapi National Park. It has much to offer all year round: wonderful hiking in summer and autumn and fantastic skiing in the winter and spring. It is also a great place to find some nightlife or just relax in a cafe while sampling our famous delicious chocolate and cakes.
Bariloche was founded in 1902, and in the ’40 became a ski and tourism pole for celebrities from all around the world. The city was designed following the Alpine style, while many inmigrants from central Europa settled down in this area developing mountain sports and retaining many traditions.

THE SCHOOL
Our school is located in a quiet spot, but in the heart of the city, near internet cafes, restaurants, bus stops, pubs, and all the services you might need; next to Nahuel Huapi lake, just a few meters from the Tourist Information Office at Centro Civico, the main city square, where town hall and the most important museum in Patagonia is placed.
Students have plenty of time to communicate amongst themselves and often enjoy going out into the town together to practice their spanish language skills. Whether it is during one of the school activities or on their own amongst the friendly local people, students at our school will always find it easy to use the skills they have developed in the classroom. By keeping our courses to small-group lessons (maximum 4 students) or individual training, we avoid the problems of large group settings that students often experience in regular spanish schools. This allows students to feel free to ask questions at any time thus increasing communication and enhancing your learning experience.Our approach to teaching focuses on developing proficiency in the four basic communication skills (speaking, listening reading, and writing) and allows for emphasis on any one of these skills to meet each student's needs.
