Magnificent program and magnificent instruction...

"I'm extremely satisfied with the complete experience of learning Spanish at La Montaña and living in Bariloche. I very much appreciated the ability to take lessons from different professors from different locales, with different dialects and experiences. I believe this was very beneficial to my understanding of not only the Spanish language, but the culture and mentality. All of the professors were extremely talented and contributed greatly to my learning. All were very flexible and willing to adapt my non-standard request/program needs. Overall; magnificent program and magnificent instruction from the best professors!!"

TIP 7: Make Spanish part of your everyday life:

Switch your computer, google preferences, cell phone and other electronics into Spanish. It might be difficult at first, but you’ll maximize your time learning new words and phrases when you are using (needing) them.

Start writing your diary or blog in Spanish... little by little you will be able to express more clearly. Ask some native Spanish speakers to help you with corrections and edition.


Do you play an instrument or sing? Learn a song in Spanish to practice pronunciation. Do not worry about the meaning of each and every word of the lyrics. If you can get the global idea, it is enough.


Do you like cooking? Subscribe to cooking websites in Spanish and learn new vocabulary as well as expressions. It will be both, fun, useful and your family/friends will be greatful!!

What is a Spanish lessons week like?

First day of lessons: Before arriving in Bariloche students may wonder... What is a tipical week like at La Montaña?

Students who have applied for lessons in a group will normally have a placement test online beforehand, but we might make some adjustments once we meet in person, if necessary. Monday at 9:00am is the time lessons start, but it is nice if students come around 8:45 to share a coffee and meet other students and La Montaña Team. By 10:30  we will know if any adjustments for groups levels is needed. After first day, or at any point during schooling, if students feel the group doesn’t suit expectations or if extra help is needed, Director or  teachers coordinator will take care about this. Students can always change into another group or have additional private lessons. If  group lessons have been booked and there is no suitable group, student will have 2 hrs private lessons a day with no extra cost. 
Schedules:
Our school runs from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. Mostly, lessons in a group take place during the morning from 9:00 to 1:00 pm. We have one break during the morning, when students can meet new friends from different Spanish courses.

Private lessons take place mostly in the afternoon and evenings, however, if these schedules do not suit students timetables, we can review times. There are hours available on request on Saturday mornings, as well. We are flexible, provided that we can fulfill our commitments with all our students.
After-class activities:
2 or 3 times per week, La Montaña organizes after-school activities. These can be Cultural or outdoor, depending on the weather. List of possible choices:
  City Tour + chocolaterias
  Cooking lessons
  Trekking to Cerro Campanario
  Trekking to Cascada de Los  Duendes
  International potlucks
  Guided visit to Bariloche´s clock
