Argentina

Argentina is the first and most beautiful country that you will enjoy visiting. This may not be the first goal of your trip but combining business with pleasure has never hurt anyone. From Patagonia to Buenos Aires, Iguazú Falls, Salta and the astonishing Pampas, Argentina combines the scent of old Europe with amazing wild landscapes. All mixed with a very rich culture.

Security: at the top!

While many Latin American countries may be concerned about security, Argentina is a safe country. As the second largest economy in Latin America after Brazil, Argentina is also a country rich in opportunities. A non-negligible asset if you want to combine linguistic stay and internship or professional activity. Spanish Courses in Buenos Aires are also one of the best options in Latin America.

A good educational level

The range of courses offered is very wide: short courses such as intensive courses, annual or focused on specific objectives. There are good language schools everywhere, including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Salta, Bariloche, Ushuaia or Rosario. If you are looking for year-round studies, Argentina can also be an interesting choice because university fees are very reasonable and private university fees are much lower than in other countries.

A very “singing” accent

Advantage or disadvantage? In any case, it must be known before deciding. Unlike Colombia whose Spanish accent is very neutral, the Argentinean accent is more pronounced. At first, it can be very “singing” and is a bit like thinking of the Italian accent.

The meaning of some words is different, the pronunciation of some letters too. Argentines thus have the habit of putting the sound “ch” or “j” everywhere. The “ll” and “y” are systematically transformed into a “ch” or “j” sound. About Grammar level, some adjustments are also expected. The familiarity and the waywardness are different. The pronouns “Tú” and “Vosotros” are indeed often replaced by the pronouns “Vos” and “Ustedes”.

A cost of living a little high while remaining reasonable

Although lower than in Europe, the cost of living in Argentina is, with Brazil and Uruguay, the highest in Latin America. In this respect, Mexico or Colombia are more suitable for small budgets. It is however quite equivalent to that which you will find in Spain… with the difference that it will be necessary to count the price of the trip, necessarily high for a short stay.
