    Moving To Ba

    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...

    Going To Be In Buenos Aries For A Couple Months

    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!

    Spanish Classes?

    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...

    Spanish Classes?

    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...

    What Workplaces In Bsas Give Foreigners Legal Work?

    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...

    Teeth Cleaning For $75 Us?

    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...

    Moved Here From California

    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?

    Affordable Spanish Classes?

    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...

    University Of Buenos Aires

    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...

    Newbie Looking For Advice From You Oldies

    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...

    Spanish Classes

    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...

    Spanish Classes

    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...

    My Search For A Spanish School

    Agreed that this is an advert. What is a "completely western front desk staff"? Are you trying to say native English speakers? That is one of the positives of small schools is that you get small classes (2 to 3 students) but it is quite difficult to have the exact level for you when you want...

    internships in argentina are quite difficult to find and they are something legally iffy. if he wants to be 100% legal there is a lot of paperwork to fill out and it can take months to complete. life argentina is quite good, but they do have monthly fees and volunteers have to pay for their...

    Spanish Tutor Needed In Recoleta

    I don't know a professor but just a piece of advice. One hour tends to be quite short for a class. You end up saying hola, working for a bit and then before you know it the class is over. I would recommend taking two hours together to better take advantage of the time spent. Maybe you can do...

    Hiring A Chef

    Maybe you could do a food delivery service? I assume it would be cheaper than hiring a chef. Cocina Verde does vegetarian delivery once per week and I hear they are good. Are you looking for a chef or more of a "woman who cooks"? There are services where you can hire a chef or you can get...

    Dove Hunting in Argentina?

    I did some Google searching and also some forum searching and could not find any information on it so I decided to try here! Has anyone had an experience dove hunting in Argentina? I guess it is popular in Córdoba? There seem to be a lot of companies that do it (and most are super expensive)...
