Jess in Buenos Aires

Jess and friendsThe credit crunch may be bad economically, but it allows you to suddenly follow a different path. As maybe the easiest door to enter was closed, leading you to squeeze through the smallest and last door just like Alice in Wonderland. This is the door I fortunately took allowing me to enter a new world. Rather than taking an architectural job in London, as most people do who are doing their part 1 (work experience after the BA) I decided to Read More »

I had already done an Italian course through CESA in Florence, so this gave me a fairly good idea of what to expect. I imagined the lessons would involve a mixture of grammar exercises and general conversation with other students from all over the world. Read More »

Jenny: 6 week Standard Course

“I had learnt Spanish to AS level in the UK and once I’d graduated wanted to use some free time to combine improving my language skills with seeing another part of the world.  Had no real idea what to expect from Argentina – just liked the idea of going somewhere different. 

I enjoyed the lessons. Teachers were relaxed and friendly and the other students wanted to know you – no one was stand offish (which I was a bit worried about beforehand).

BA is a fantastic city.  An experience I will never forget … talking for hours in Spanish with local people … experiencing “milonga” (tango salons are seriously cool)…eating seriously good steak… and a great language course.  Wonderful stuff!”

Johnny Blackman: 8 weeks Languages for Life Course

I’d always wanted to go to Argentina and when I decided, having graduated that the time had come to sort out a Spanish language course, I immediately thought of studying in Buenos Aires!  

The CESA Languages staff had talked me through the various course options and explained the school was home to a wide range of student nationalities – I was staggered by the reality of the situation.  It felt like a United Nations of language learners.   There was also a wide range of language levels and learning motivations, but it works (and it’s fun).  The small Spanish classes ensured that everyone was grouped well – so individual requirements could be addressed within the group language lessons (I discussed this with friends in other groups, so it wasn’t just luck with my group).  Read More »
