The Spanish instruction is wonderful


Veronica runs a fantastic program at "Spanish in Bariloche".  The Spanish instruction is wonderful but, on top of that, she and her team  also do so much more! Her school is terrific and the teachers are excellent. However, the big bonus for me was that she helped us organize our trip and also helped us find a place to stay and things to do while we were there.  If Veronica had not been so instrumental in helping us get organized, we probably would not have gone to Bariloche and would have missed out on amazing hikes and nature, wonderful food, excellent spanish instruction and a wonderful summer camp.  My three boys (3, 8 and 10 years old) loved the classes and activities and learned so much and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed
exploring all that Bariloche has to offer. Veronica is a sweetheart and a delight to work with and know.  I can't recommend her highly enough.

A highly enjoyable and fulfilling experience at Spanish in Bariloche




Thank you so much for a highly enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Whilst I still have a huge amount to learn, I feel as though have made heavy good progress which now needs lots of practice to consolidate. The Spanish school has clearly employed a number of excellent teachers but I have personally, been impressed with the quality of teaching that I have received from my teacher who has been highly motivating, well organised + incredibly patient. As a teacher myself, I recognise the skills that have made her so effective for my learning and cannot thank her enough.

Volunteering at the Spanish School

The school connects students with volunteer opportunities in Bariloche and the surrounding communities. Two current students, Ellen, a doctor, and her husband, Charles, a computer specialist, wanted to take advantage of this program. For this they headed to the administrative offices of nearby Villa los Coihues, a small village located on the banks of Lago Gutiérrez. Ellen had hoped to work in the health clinic but found that it is only open rarely and so is arranging to help at the hospital in Bariloche. Charles wanted to switch from his normally sedentary work and help with construction, but, when he found that the village water department was having trouble switching their computer program he gladly agreed to lend his expertise. The village administrators have promised to let him break a sweat and help with some construction as well.

First day of lessons:
Students who have applied for lessons in a group will normally have a placement test on Monday at 9:00am. By 10:30 am we will know who will be in each group, these students will continue in their new group right after the test. After your first day, or at any point during your schooling, if you feel the group doesn’t suit you or you need extra help, simply tell us.

If you have asked for lessons in a group and there is no suitable group for you, you will have 15 hrs a week of private lessons for the same price.

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 two breaks during the morning, when you can meet the rest of the students.

Private lessons take place mostly in the afternoon and evenings, however, if these schedules do not suit your activities, it can be discussed. 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.
