I also agree that Palermo is great. Another option is Recoleta. I always recommend to rent a place for a week or 10 days and then find a more permanent option after arrival. Are you looking for just a few hours of Spanish class a week or a more intensive program? Vamos is also a good school...

Hey Sean, Coming here will definitely give you a better perspective of non-profits in the city. Not having plans is the best plan of them all ;). I recommend contacting CELS and IÑADI, as they are two great non-profits that work with human rights and equality. Good luck!

Your prices are published in dollars... Are you taking payments in pesos as many people on this forum do not have access to US dollars.

I completely agree that the needs of each person depend on the selection they should choose. The reason to go to a Spanish school is to take a group class and be social (meet people, explore the city, etc.). Private tutors will always be cheaper by the hours and you can focus on your specific...

El Pasaje is a budget school (they have the lowest prices for a private Spanish institute in the city). It is a good option if price is your main concern. School is quite small, so small classes and you will be on a first-name basis with staff. I recommend visiting it in person to double...

Really any company COULD hire a foreigner if they really want to but most find it unnecessary as they can usually find a local to do the same job without all the visa hassle. Instead of thinking of what companies would hire a foreigner, I would think about what type of job you would like and...

I think that is expensive! What is the amount in pesos? I had a chipped tooth fixed a few weeks ago and it was around US$600 pesos. I would say a cleaning should be less than $500 pesos. For the filling, are they using porcelain? If so, then it would be expensive but if it is just the...

Hey Eugenia, What are you doing here? Working? Studying? If you could explain a bit more what kind of advice you were looking for that would help. What has been a challenge so far? Looking to make friends?

For the cheapest classes you would have to go to UBA or CUI. Both of these are cheaper because they are less hours per week and the maximum class sizes are bigger. Most Spanish institutes in the city have pretty similar prices at around US$200 for a 20-hour group class. I think the cheapest...

I would totally be in for a Pink event. 29-year-old American guy here who has lived in Argentina for about 8 years.

He is currently a sophomore in high school and already looking to go to university abroad? Would your son come alone? Does he speak Spanish fluently? Has he visited Buenos Aires before? I just ask these questions because an 18-year-old for the first time in Buenos Aires with a not perfect...

Do you speak Spanish at all? If not, I would definitely recommend a Spanish course for at least the first couple of weeks (maybe 2 to 4). This will not only allow you to meet foreigners but also find your bearings. Personally, I think some people on this forum look down upon Spanish schools...

I can tell that you are a classy dude. I hope that your son/daughter never finds out how you refer to his/her mother.

I can confirm that WindyCityJames is NOT a "troll". I have met him in person and know that he has studied at all the schools he mentioned. I feel like he is just someone who is passing on their personal experiences and if it means recommending a specific school that worked for him. Isn't that...

Are you looking for anything specific? I can give you a list of most popular, but it might be good to narrow it down by price, location, services, etc. If you want prices and dates, I feel like you can look that up yourself on the different website. Popular Schools Expanish - Big school in...
