Highlights
Expanish offers its study abroad students an unconventional approach to studying abroad in South America, expanding the student experience beyond just the university classroom. One of the cornerstone beliefs at Expanish is that regular Spanish speaking practice outside of the classroom is the key to acquiring a sophisticated understanding of the language, with that in mind, we designed a myriad of opportunities for students to take advantage of when studying abroad in Buenos Aires.
