ECELA Buenos Aires philosophy:
We carefully designed a Spanish cultural immersion for our students’ success, incorporating a “school hop” between our schools for a multi-culture (and multi-accent) experience and spending over half of each class in micro-group conversational activities to get the most speaking practice. We encourage our students to interact as much as possible with other students, staff members, and with their hosts because we believe that lots of speaking time helps our students’ Spanish to not “just be good on paper”.

“The people are very knowledgeable. My understanding of Spanish is much improved and I spoke Spanish in class. Having total immersion really gets you to learn faster. They take your needs into consideration and make it fun. There are several planned outings, so you feel like part of the group right away. There are students of all ages and from all over the world. I was an older student and still felt accepted and included.”
