Q. What are the advantages of studying in Buenos Aires?
The advantages of studying in Buenos Aires are enormous. First of all, the city itself is beautiful, safe, the food is fantastic, and
the people, "Los PorteƱos" are the friendliest and kindest people you could imagine. When it comes to cuisine, you've never
tasted beef until you have had Argentine beef cooked on a Parilla at a Gaucho Ranch. Right now, because of the exchange rate,
Buenos Aires is one of the most inexpensive cities in the world to visit. Best of all, when you return home, you can continue
your lessons via the internet. Then when you return to Buenos Aires, and we know you will, you'll speak and understand
even better.

Q. Do you only provide courses online?
No, you may take face to face lessons in Buenos Aires. I have over 12 years experience teaching students from all over the
world. My students have always been delighted with my programs, and over the years, I have maintained warm relationships with
both active and inactive students alike many of whom are continuing their lessons via the Video Conferencing Programs we now
offer. Even when they are in their home countries, they can maintain and advance their skills. Others come back every year, not
only to take lessons, but to delight, once again, in the myriad wonders this beautiful city has to offer.
