Locations
Argentina has no shortage of enticing destinations for language programs. There are language programs in Argentina to suit students seeking a variety of experiences during their time abroad, but some of the most popular cities are listed below.
Buenos Aires. This destination is the number one student choice for study abroad in Argentina, and for good reason. The city is well-known for its cultural diversity and lively atmosphere, and its (relatively) peculiar European vibes. The nation’s capital city is also home to Argentina’s best university, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, as well as other top universities, including the Universidad de Belgrano. For students seeking a more university-style Spanish language program in Argentina, Buenos Aires may be the spot for you.
Bariloche. Study in this Patagonian town if you have a budding love for glacial lakes, coastal living, and chocolate! San Carlos de Bariloche (commonly called Bariloche) is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and offers students a more remote backdrop for language study in Argentina.
Córdoba. The second largest city in Argentina, Córdoba is home to six international universities, including the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, and hosts the largest number of international students in Argentina. Language students will be kept busy inside and outside of the classroom, as the city is chock-full of cultural and historical relics, as well as colorful neighborhoods and the occasional street-tango showdown.
No matter where you choose to attend a language program in Argentina, what remains most important is your personal commitment to utilizing the target language on a regular basis. It’ll take a few days (okay, maybe weeks) of getting used to, but your diligence will pay off in the long run, and you might be mistaken for a local before you know it!
Language Programs in Argentina
It's extremely important, albeit sometimes difficult, to sift through all of the options and choose a good, reputable language program in Argentina. Ultimately, you will want to find a high-quality learning environment that is both productive and fun. Consider reading reviews and comparing all of your language program options before you submit any application fees. When trying to differentiate between programs, try considering these distinct types of language programs in Argentina first, and decide which one speaks to what you are looking for. Keep in mind that, not suprisingly, Spanish is the most common language of study in Argentina.
University Study Abroad. Argentina has four universities that rank in the top 500 academic institutions on the planet: Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Austral, Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina Santa María de los Buenos Aires (UCA), and the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA). Spanish language courses taken at a local university will likely be completed alongside other international students, but participating in a foreign campus will ensure a rich learning experience. University language programs in Argentina are typically six months to one year in length, to fit with normal university schedules.
Language Schools. Another option for language study in Argentina is to attend a private language school. The chief aim of language schools in Argentina is to increase student fluency in the Spanish language. Your class size will likely be smaller than that of a university, allowing you to develop a more personal relationship with your profesor(a). Classes at language schools can typically be completed from two to six hours daily, depending on how motivated you are to learn! Most language schools in Argentina allow for more flexible durations too, for anywhere from one week to one year.
Combo Language Programs. If you want to focus on developing your Spanish language skills, but would also like to participate in more immersive activities, such as volunteering or cultural events and lessons, then it is best to seek out a combination program. These language programs will organize language classes for you in Argentina, and then fill your free time with other interesting, cool, and educational activities that will allow you to truly soak up the Argentine way of life (delicious steak dinners and tango lessons may be included!).
Scholarships & Costs
There are various scholarships available specifically for language study in Argentina, for students who want to lessen their program expenses. Check out GoAbroad’s Scholarship Directory to browse through scholarships that can be applied to language study abroad in Argentina. Also be sure to check with your language program provider, your academic advisor, and your study abroad advisor to find out if there are any untapped financial resources you can take advantage of!
The cost of living in Argentina is relatively cheaper for most international students, but daily expenses can certainly add up if you aren’t careful. The economy has gone through ebbs and flows over time, and is still recovering. The exchange rate will generally work in your favor however, as it is at around nine Argentine pesos to $1 (but continually fluctuates, so be sure to check it before you leave!). Save your time at boliches for special occasions, and pass on a daily Argentine steak in exchange for empanadas on the street, which will be much more affordable.
Accommodation & Visas
Language programs in Argentina will offer a variety of accommodation options for students to choose from. Most language programs in Argentina will even organize housing for you, but if you have a strong desire for independence, you can try your luck at finding accommodation on your own too. You can ask an Argentine friend with a garantía to rent you an apartment, splurge on a rental in a fancy neighborhood, score a student apartment, or find an open room in a shared house (casas compartidas) quite easily.
Students are encouraged to find a señora or local family to stay with during their language study in Argentina. Living with locals will challenge you to use your language skills regularly, and reward you with the opportunity to have a more intimate experience with Argentine culture (and language skills that improve rapidito!).
Officially, the government requires student visas for those studying in Argentina for more than 90 days. However, there are a number of longer-term students who choose to exit and re-enter the country every 90 days in order to maintain a tourist visa. Your visa requirements will vary depending on the setup of your language program in Argentina, and whether or not you desire official credits or transcripts from a local institution. Make sure to save some cash when it comes time to leave Argentina, as you will have to pay an airport exit fee, too. Also be sure to chat directly with your program provider to clarify any specific immigration questions you may have.
GoAbroad Insider Tips
It’s safe. Despite its problems with poverty, particularly in comparison to some of its more fortunate neighbors, Argentina remains one of the safer countries in Latin America.
It has it all. You can check off all of the items on your bucket list by choosing a country as diverse as Argentina. Epic nature? Check. Cool and colorful neighborhoods? Check. Awesome environment for improving your Spanish language skills? Check. Likelihood of mastering an exotic dance with a single rose clenched between your teeth? Check.
Translation can be difficult. Students who have previous language skills may find their transition into life in Argentina to be surprisingly more challenging than their newbie-counterparts. For the first few days, your mental translations may be a three step process: Argentinian Spanish to Castilian Spanish, and then, finally, to English. Due to this translation workout, some students may unconsciously feel tempted to bypass the challenges and utilize English regularly. However, it is best to go about it the right way and practice your Spanish as much as possible with locals!
Avoid touristy-hot spots. Students are strongly encouraged to consider enrolling in a language school in the more far-flung cities of Argentina, places that will expose them to fewer English speakers (the temptation is real, folks). Smaller cities, such as Bariloche, Córdoba, and Mendoza, have many excellent language schools, and will provide students with a more intensive language learning environment than Buenos Aires.
You’re in for a treat. Despite its relatively modern, Euro-feel, Argentina remains a distinctly Latin American country. For students seeking an authentic Spanish language study abroad experience, Argentina is an unmatched cultural backdrop (and playground) that is not to be missed.
Latest Program Reviews
Reseña breve de perspectiva extranjera
August 16, 2026by: QIANXI FAN - ChinaProgram: DELE Preparation in Argentina
作为中文母语者，想要通过高阶的DELE考试是一项非常有挑战和困难的事情，因此我在考试前三周选择了Academia BA来进行强化练习。主要是口语部分，因为在中国很少有练习口语的机会。学校里的老师也针对我的薄弱点进行了强化，众所周知阿根廷的口音是众多口音里最难理解的，所以在这所学校进行考前强化确实对我的听力水平有极大的提升。这门preparación的课程也是完全严格按照DELE口语考试的Tarea123顺序来进行，在练习过程中，学校老师会进行速记然后在我结束发言后会精准地指出我的错误并且纠正，除此之外还会建议我使用哪些frasess hechas以及muletillas来让我的表达更地道和连贯。Highly Recommend! Especially for those students from P.R.China, R.O.China, South Korea and Japan!
A guaranteed way to learn Spanish!
August 15, 2026by: Mandy T - CanadaI started learning Spanish online with Academia Buenos Aires in January and then transitioned to in-person in July. The transition was seamless and one I highly recommend! The same immersive language experience and instruction carried over, together with passionate teachers who really cared deeply that we come to know, use, and appreciate the Rioplatense Spanish of the region. I wasn’t expecting to learn as much culture as I did, but I am leaving with a more profound understanding of the history and customs that have shaped Argentina. Each day was a joy to learn with La Academia! The office staff, the teachers, and my classmates made each day so fun! I was always greeted with a genuine smile, a “charla”, and timely or useful information whenever I needed it! I will definitely be continuing online as I prepare to write the DELE later this year. And I know Academia will continue to help me achieve that goal!
Two months in Buenos Aires
June 05, 2026by: Laird Balas - FranceProgram: Master Spanish in Buenos Aires: Comprehensive Immersion
Review Title: A Fantastic Experience in Argentina My two months in Buenos Aires were unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable and in great locations like Recoleta or Palermo, making it easy to enjoy everything the city has to offer. One of the best parts of the experience was meeting people from all over the world and building friendships that will last. The local staff were welcoming, helpful, and always willing to assist with any questions. Buenos Aires is an incredible city full of culture, great food, and amazing energy, and this program made it easy to feel at home from day one. I highly recommend it to anyone considering spending time in Argentina.
My best Memories in Argentina
June 04, 2026by: Benjamin Hudson - AustriaI approached Mente to do a language course during my time in Argentina and it proved to be a very rewarding decision. Joining Mente gave me a community in BA as well as being the gateway to meeting some of the people I would make my most lasting memories of Argentina with and would push me to continue to improve my spanish. I was hesitant to pay the extra for Mente rather than doing language classes independently but I am very grateful I made the decision to be a part of the community and enrich my whole trip with the activities and people from Mente.
Do this program! Mente exceeded my expectations!
May 19, 2026by: Sarah Jean - United StatesProgram: Master Spanish in Buenos Aires: Comprehensive Immersion
I had the amazing opportunity to do a two-week Spanish immersion program through Mente. It was such an amazing experience. The apartment they provided was modern and in a great location. I looked forward to going to class every day and enjoyed all the activities they arranged. Buenos Aires is the most beautiful city I have ever visited, and I can't wait to go back. I have already recommended Mente to many friends and plan on returning for another program.
Improving Spanish language
March 24, 2026by: Nieske Simoons - NetherlandsI stayed a week in Cordoba to so sPanish lessons. It was a fun experience. I learned a lot about the city from Luciano. Eucaris was the best teacher I could imagine. Living in a family that did not speak any other language than Spanish complete my mission. Gracias a todos de Mondify.
Fun
August 20, 2025by: Madeline Foreman - United StatesProgram: Master Spanish in Buenos Aires: Comprehensive Immersion
Mente’s staff were very responsive and flexible, even after I arrived. Honestly, I wasn't comfortable with my first room, but they quickly moved me and made sure I was comfortable, and are always happy to help. I loved the Spanish school and felt very safe in my neighborhood. Activities were scheduled week by week, so you’d find out the details closer to the date, which kept things feeling spontaneous. Some of the activities were group meals. We also visited some great spots I wouldn’t have found on my own. Overall, I am really glad Mente made this experience in BA possible without needing to arrange everything myself.
An Amazing Program
July 28, 2025by: Catherine Pucci - United StatesThis program was amazing. I learned so much while being immersed in the countries culture and enjoyed the classes. I had so much fun with the friends that I made through the program. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in a language school abroad. It was absolutely phenomenal

The Best Four Weeks Ever
June 22, 2025by: Emma Chambless - United StatesI had the opportunity to spend four weeks in Buenos Aires this summer, and I loved it! In the short time I was there, my Spanish improved so much and so did my confidence in speaking. I got to learn a lot about the culture through excursions and chatting with my host mom at dinner. I loved my teacher, and I met a lot of new people in my class. 10/10 Highly Recommend!
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario, Emma! We loved having you as our student and we are really happy to know you've enjoyed your time with us! Hope we get to welcome you again someday! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
Wonderful immersive experience.
May 20, 2024by: Cole Ezeilo - United StatesI had a great experience with Expanish. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone hoping to learn Spanish when living in Spain! I believe that if I had more time, i.e. was only focused on the lessons, I would have been able to truly see the full extent of my growth while participating in the program. I was quite busy while completing my course, however I was still able to extract great learnings and a deeper understanding of the Spanish language.
¡Hola, Cole! Thank you so much for your comments! We are really happy to know you've enjoyed your time with us! Hope we get to see you again in the future! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

I had a very special moment at Expanish!
March 24, 2024by: Amanda Monteiro - BrazilThe time that I spent at Expanish was incredible, I got the chance to improve my Spanish, meet new people and places. The environment of the school is amazing, very welcoming and comfortable, the teachers are great, i loved all of the teachers i had, specifically patricia and eva, but everyone was really nice and could explain everything with many details and in a really interesting way, which made my learning way faster and cooler. I wish I could have stayed longer cuz it really was a great and special time of my life. Moreover, I loved my host family a lot, they made me feel home and i am really grateful, flor and orlando are really special and made my experience beautiful as well! :)
¡Hola, Amanda! Thank you for such a nice comment! ❤️ We loved having you as our student and we are really happy to know you felt comfortable both at the school and with Flor and Orlando! We hope you are well and if you ever come back to Barcelona do not hesitate to come and say hi! We would love to see you again! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
Happy that I did it
March 23, 2024by: Isa Bastings - BelgiumAfter high school, I choose to take a gap year. And 6 months of that year I went to Barcelona to study Spanish, because I never learned it in high school and because I just love the language. It also was the first time living alone, but it was (most of the time) not so hard for me, also because I already knew the city a little bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I am very happy that I can understand and speak Spanish on a basic level now, because it’s always useful for in the future.
¡Hola, Isa! Thank you very much for your comments! :) We are happy to know you've enjoyed your time with us! Hope we get to see you again someday! ¡Un abrazo!

The full Madrid experience
March 14, 2024by: Jakob Windisch - AustriaDuring the month of classes at expanish in Madrid I was able to significantly improve my Spanish skills! I would especially like to highlight the teachers at the school. All of them are incredibly friendly, open, and try to motivate students to learn Spanish. I wish all students would be as motivated, as this was the only thing sometimes bothering me during class. So thank you to all the incredible teachers and the friendly staff in general at Expanish Madrid!
¡Hola, Jakob! Thank you very much for your comments! :) We are really happy to know you've enjoyed your classes and hope we get to see you again someday! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

My time in Malaga
March 04, 2024by: Philipp Engelmann - GermanyI had a really good time at Expanish Malaga! The school and the teachers are fantastic and I would definitely recommend it! The other classmates were also very nice and friendly. I also really enjoyed the city, as it’s an interesting and vivid place. Going to the beach after school or for some tapas in the evening also made my stay even more enjoyable. I also enjoyed the trips I made to Cordoba, Granada and Gibraltar. My housing was a shared apartment, only 1 minute from the school, which was also very neat!
¡Hola, Philipp! Thank you for your comments! We loved having you as our student and are really happy to know you've enjoyed your time with us! Hope we get to welcome you again someday! ¡Un abrazo!
