Locations
A country as large as Argentina has great diversity. Seven distinct geographical regions span canyons, mountains, jungles, and miles and miles of coastline. A strong European influence in the cities paired with the self-reliant spirit in the countryside define the country. Argentina also claims the largest railway system in Latin America, easily connecting you to cities throughout the country and beyond.
One would be remiss not to mention Buenos Aires. It’s the most visited city in Latin America, a top-ten study abroad destination, and all around super-cool city. Despite its size, at almost 13 million people (including suburbs), Buenos Aires’ neighborhoods keep it feeling manageable. Palermo Soho, known for its hip fashion and design vibe, beckons exploring. So does La Boca, which houses the fútbol stadium as well as the colorful artists’ street, Caminito. Buenos Aires also provides the most options for intensive Spanish courses in Argentina, with dozens of Spanish language schools calling the city home. Plus, you’ll meet plenty of people ready to teach you the latest slang. But, you’ll have to also make sure to not break into English too often, as is often the case in tourist centers.
Mendoza, in the heart of Argentina’s wine country, sits in the shadow of the Andes Mountains. The smaller size of 100,000 means easy navigation through the Plaza Independencia, San Martín Park, and vineyards and olive groves. The mountains lend themselves to plenty of outdoor activities, such as hiking or kayaking, and of course, wine tasting never gets old. Spanish language schools in Mendoza tend to set up shop near the commercial district of the city, so it’s easy to connect with locals while learning Spanish in Mendoza.
Córdoba, the second largest city in Argentina, makes the list of the top places to learn Spanish in Argentina, as well as the rest of the world. Home to the architecturally impressive Cathedral of Córdoba as well as the oldest university in Argentina, history and European style abound in Cordoba. Old doesn’t mean boring, though. The city also feels young and dynamic with a happening nightlife to further prove the point. A bit off the traveler’s path, the lack of tourists in Cordoba attracts students looking for more authentic Spanish language programs in Argentina.
Studying Spanish in Argentina
Choosing an intensive Spanish language program in Argentina is, well, intense. The students who gain the most know what they’re getting into and come to Argentina with a willingness to jump off the deep end and totally immerse themselves in the ocean of language learning. Water metaphors aside, embarking on an intensive language program in Argentina can push your language skills to the max.
Argentina offers a nice mix of Spanish language schools as well as universities to choose from. Spanish language schools in Argentina attract students from all over the world (a big plus), but may be lacking in the opportunity to connect with local students. Argentine universities, on the other hand, provide plenty of room to chat with local students, but may only offer Spanish language courses for more advanced learners. Regardless, the more you do to interact with native speakers, the faster you’ll improve. If your language school offers it, sign up for a conversation partner or take up a game of pato, the national sport.
The definition of an intensive language program in Argentina can get a bit cloudy when you start to research and compare options. One person’s intense may be another’s walk in the park. It could mean two hours a day up to five or six hours a day. It may also go without saying that the more time you spend studying Spanish, the faster you’ll improve your fluency. But, also consider your personal limits and any other commitments you may have. The potential to learn Spanish in Argentina by leaps and bounds is huge, if you’re ready to take it on. But, six hours a day in a classroom, plus homework and extracurriculars, can be a lot. So, make sure you’re ready for it.
If you choose to spend less time in the classroom, be sure you’re making the most of your time outside of the classroom. A homestay forces you to practice Spanish on a daily basis and reveals the Argentine culture and way of life. One thing’s for sure, there’s no floating by when it comes to an intensive language immersion. Take your preferred flotation device and dive in head first.
Argentine SPANISH SUBTLETIES & NUANCES
When you announce to many Spanish speakers of your plans to learn Spanish in Argentina, prepare for some head scratches and puzzled looks. The particular variety of Spanish spoken in this part of the world is known far and wide as difficult at best and impossible at worst.
The accent, the slang, the vosotros form, oh my. It’s enough to make you want to cry. But take a note from Evita and don’t cry (for me, Argentina). Instead, arm yourself with knowledge and a keen ear and you’ll be golden. First off, Argentinians replace “ll” and “y” sounds with “zjay.” So, the word calle (street) would be pronounced cai-zjay. Ella is ey-zjuh. I know, right? The best way to learn is to hear from a fluent, Spanish-speaking Argentinian, but you’ll get the hang of it.
Secondly, throw out your textbook when it comes to the tú form. There’s no such thing in Argentina. Instead, they practice the voseo form for second person. Rather than tú, people will address you as vos. And, rather than tú eres, you’ll hear vos sos. At least it has a nice ring to it.
Benefits & Challenges
Not to drill it into the ground with the language difficulties, but perhaps the most challenging aspect of learning Spanish in Argentina is the slang. Sometimes called Porteño or Lunfardo, Argentine slang is a category all its own. Mangos can mean pesos, as in money. Or it can mean mangos. It’s confusing. And if you hear someone repeatedly use the word che, they’re probably not obsessed with Che Guevara. Most likely, they’re just using the word as a filler, like hey. Anyway, it can take some time to learn the popular slang. If you ever hear a new word, don’t be afraid to ask. That, of course, is the best way to learn.
But, baja en cambio, that is, relax and chill out. Becoming familiar with the accent and speed at which Argentines speak won’t happen overnight. However, with a little patience, you’ll fit right in, and speaking Spanish pretty much anywhere else in the world will become as easy as pie. Or, rather, easy as an empanada.
You’ll also have the added benefit of studying Spanish in one of the safest and most politically stable countries in Latin America. Everyone goes to Spain to study Spanish, so why not try something different? You’ve always followed your own beat, so why stop now? With some thirty national parks for outdoor junkies, thriving metropolises for those seeking nightlife, celebrations and festivals galore, and penguins, there is seriously something for everyone to love in Argentina.
Before you know it, you’ll be reading Borges in Spanish and cheering on Messi. Oh wait, you already cheer on Messi. But, you’ll be front and center, waving that flag, and shaking your head at all those naysayers. Learning Spanish in Argentina may not be the easy A some are looking for, but for those willing to take the challenge, the land of red meat, wine, and tango awaits.

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.

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!

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!
