Expanish Activities & Workshops

Supplementing the study abroad experience in Buenos Aires

A cornerstone belief here at Expanish is the belief that regular Spanish speaking practice outside of the classroom is the key to acquiring a sophisticated understanding of the language. Our student activities for our study abroad students in Argentina are designed to convert the streets and galleries and open spaces in and around Buenos Aires into "outdoor" classrooms where they can immerse themselves in the language and culture of the city and its people.
