Expanish Activities & Workshops
Supplementing the study abroad experience in Buenos Aires
At Expanish, we believe that all study abroad experiences should combine a student's university studies with genuine cultural and language experiences in order for students to truly benefit from their time abroad. Our Expanish activities for summer study abroad students in Argentina are designed to convert the city attractions, plazas, museums, and streets into "outdoor" classrooms, where students have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the language, culture, and lifestyle of the city and its people.
