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 Porteños" 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.

both active and inactive students alike many of whom are continuing their lessons via the Video Conferencing Programs we now
