Academia Bariloche

I recently completed a two week intensive Spanish course at this school. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. All of the staff at the school were very professional, welcoming, friendly, helpful, and proficient teachers. My Spanish skills improved noticeably over the two weeks and I looked forward to attending class every day. My teacher, Carina, did an excellent job challenging me but also knew when to slow down and help me integrate. Also, she is great at making a 4 hour class fun!

In addition, the teachers were so helpful when I needed directions or any assistance in planning activities and excursions around Bariloche. They truly care about your experience both at the school and in general. The school organized an outing for all the students at least once a week and really went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our visit. The school is located in the heart of downtown which is both convenient and fun. It is clean, well-lit, and the staff provide tea, coffee, and a small snack during the break.

My homestay was great, the family I lived with were very welcoming and offered me a good challenge of practicing my Spanish at our meals together. If a homestay is not something you are interested in, I also heard positive things about the local hostels from other students.

Bariloche is awesome, it is so incredibly beautiful and there is so much to do. Much more than you can probably imagine. You should really go visit! I had such a great experience there and look forward to going back again someday. In the meantime, I look forward to continuing my Spanish lessons through this school by taking the online private lessons they offer!
