Living Your Spanish

Living Your Spanish is a small Spanish language school in Argentina run by its director, Patricia Jacovella, a qualified teacher of English and Spanish who has lived for more than twenty years in San Antonio de Areco, a traditional town near Buenos Aires. Courses take place in San Antonio de Areco and in Buenos Aires.

The courses combine conversational Spanish lessons with real-life activities outside the classroom, where students practise with native speakers, and each course is tailored to the student's interests, goals and pace. Teaching uses authentic material with a River Plate accent. Courses are for adults and teenagers, in groups of 2 to 5 students or as private classes; students join a group if their level and interests match.

• Standard course: 10 hours a week, Monday to Friday, with morning lessons and afternoon cultural activities
• Weekend crash course: 10 hours, Friday to Sunday
• One-to-one classes of 55 minutes

Optional activities in Spanish include horse riding in the countryside, polo, tennis and golf lessons, cookery lessons, folklore and tango dancing, and art lessons with local artists.
