I was also really impressed with the facilities. Instead of the dark and dreary classrooms with half broken tables and squeaky chairs that I expected, I found bright colors, 6 floors of classrooms and plenty of places to hang out with fellow students.

The Expanish building felt very reminiscent of a university building, equipped with lounges, coffee machines and computers with internet access.

Expanish also organizes Spanish cinema nights once a week as well as several outings for students. Cinema nights are always free and activities are either free or offer at a discounted price for students. They put a lot of effort into keeping their students social and encourage them to continue practicing their Spanish with each other.

As someone who has experienced learning the language first hand, and via hundreds of other Spanish students who I meet everyday in my work at Expanish Spanish School in Buenos Aires, here are my five tips to help travelers find their path to fluency whilst traveling abroad.

This may sound like an obvious one, but it’s important to be thorough when choosing your learning approach. The language won’t sink in by osmosis simply by living in the country. Take lessons that suit your learning style. Choosing a reputable language school will usually ensure structured teaching and good facilities for language learning.

The school I work in for example, provides a weekly Spanish language cinema club, a Spanish language library and great immersion activities as well as the option of one-to-one Spanish classes. However, some people prefer the flexibility that comes with individual teachers. If you go down this route, don’t be afraid to test drive your teacher first to see if their teaching methods suit your needs.

Make the most of your time in Argentina, visit museums, galleries and boliches (nightclubs) to your heart's content. You're in the wonderful city of Buenos Aires to enjoy it, but don’t let the city’s greatness distract you from your Spanish cause. Make sure you set aside time during the week to take it all in and let what you’ve learned penetrate your mind. Buenos Aires is a bit like a demanding girlfriend or boyfriend — it will try with all its heart to distract you from your work. Give it the time it deserves but don’t lose focus!

Maria Paula Vazquez is the Academic Director at Buenos Aires-based Spanish School, Expanish. Paula is responsible for the development and management of Expanish Spanish School's range of Spanish language courses.

Erster Schritt war dementsprechend ein Sprachkurs an der Sprachschule Expanish in Buenos Aires. Die Wahl fiel auf einen sechswöchigen Sprachkurs an einer kleinen Sprachschule in Buenos Aires in einem schönen Gebäude mit altem renovierten Aufzug – gefühlt aus den 50er Jahren – ganz in der Nähe des Plaza de Mayo, des zentralen Platzes. Dort befindet sich auch das Regierungsgebäude, welches auf Grund seiner rosa Farbe „Cada Rosada“ genannt wird – bereits hier wird der immense Einfluss Amerikas auf Argentinien deutlich. Auf der anderen Seite der Sprachschule in Buenos Aires befand sich die Avenida Florida, wo man sehr gut trödeln kann und interessanten Schmuck aus ganz Argentinien findet.

    Expanish was a wonderful experience for our family (i came with my son and daughter).

    I'm glad that I came to Expanish because I learned so much more in two weeks here that I did with two years of high school Spanish. The teachers are very nice and helpful. They want you to learn and succeed. I also liked meeting people from other countries who were here with the same goal.

  • Letitia Blackett
    From my first correspondence with Expanish, I had a very positive feeling-quick, friendly, and welcoming responses. The staff have all been so encouraging and 120 hours of lessons lave passed ridiculously quickly without a minute of boredom. On top of teaching Spanish, teachers were also full of great advice on what to do in Buenos Aires and explain and describe enthusiastically the history of Argentina. Thank you Expanish for a complete Argentine experience.

    My time with Expanish will always be remembered with positive feelings, I enjoyed the challenge of beginning to learn a new language - very foreign to me. Expanish made me feel very welcome and comfortable both in the classroom and out in the city, I enjoyed forging new friendships. Expanish is guilty of making me fall in love with Buenos Aires! Thank you.

    What an amazing experience to come to such an energetic city to learn Spanish! Every day after class was another excuse to practice what we had learned. This was a once in a lifetime trip! I only wish I could stay longer.

  • Rachael
    Our teacher Florencia was really persistent in speaking Spanish and making us speak it too, so I think that our pronunciation and verbal speaking has improved a lot since we've been here. I loved coming here and the days went by so fast, I always felt as if I was home whenever I was here.

    I joined Expanish for only one week (unfortunately), but it was very effective. I didn't speak a word when I came to Buenos Aires, but now I can order my meal, ask for the way, start a conversation, etc. The atmosphere at Expanish was great. Everybody was really enthusiastic, helpful, and energetic. Thanks for everything!

  • Stephanie Negal, England
    My course with Expanish was brilliant. Class sizes were small allowing for individual attention and tailoring of the course to suit the particular class. Staff were friendly and the social program was very beneficial. Buenos Aires was an amazing city and staying in a shared apartment was great. It gave me the opportunity to live as Argentineans would, shopping for food, enjoying dinner parties and practicing my Spanish. I'd love to stay longer and hope to study for one more week at another Expanish school on my travels.
    Stephanie Negal, England
  • Line Iden Berge, Norway
    Good-safe and serious. A nice way to know a nice country.

  • Kate Farrell, USA
    Expanish was really a great experience and I would be staying longer if I hadn't already booked all my flights before trying it out.
    Kate Farrell, USA
  • David Raifaizen, USA
    Arriving in a new country can be a difficult situation, especially in a country where you do not know the language. Expanish has exceeded my expectations in regards to their educational process. Now when people talk I can actually understand them, that is, when they stop talking insanely fast.
