Description

Study Spanish at this international language school in the foothills of the Andes! Mendoza and its surrounding countryside is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. This beautiful town is next to some of the world's best skiing and in the summer months visitors enjoy mountain biking, rafting and hiking. With several different courses to choose from you can study Spanish through any of the following programmes:

* Immersion
* Spanish and Adventure
* Spanish and Wine
* Spanish and Vendimia
* Classes at all levels, from beginner to advanced, are available.

The Language School you'll study at has an excellent reputation and enjoys an international approach to language learning. It was established in 1994, is an associated member of the Cervantes' Institute and your supervisor has excellent English. You'll participate in group lessons with other regular Spanish students. Courses are run all year long. Holidays are compensated with extra hours during the week or Saturdays. The institute has Wi-Fi access and a library.

Intensive Courses, 20 hours per week:
Group lessons are 20 hours per week, 4 hours per day, starting at 8.30 in the morning. If you'd like to spend longer than 2 months on a Spanish programme, we recommend the semester length course, which also includes 4 hours per week and works out a bit cheaper.

Less Intensive Courses, 10 hours per week:
If you prefer to take it slower and have lots of time to explore and enjoy being in Mendoza, you can choose to do a course with fewer lessons - 10 hours per week.Here you'll get individual tuition, not a group lesson.

Super Intensive Courses, 20 hours of group lessons, plus 10 hours of individual tuition per week.

If you really want to immerse yourself totally in your Spanish and pack in as much learning as you can, you can choose the Super Intensive option. This comprises 20 hours of group lessons plus 10 hours of individual lessons per week.

The courses are for students from all over the world, so you'll mix with other students from varied backgrounds. There will be a maximum of 6 students per class and you'll receive a certificate on completion of your course. You can also combine these Spanish courses with any other project in Mendoza. You could even do a second project in a different region of the country, thus doubling your adventure and enjoyment!
