Living in Argentina: Learn Spanish to Integrate, Enjoy, and Connect

Have you moved to Argentina?
Have you fallen in love with the country, its people, its culture, mate… or maybe even someone special?
Would you like to feel more comfortable in your neighborhood, chat with your neighbors, understand everyday expressions, order a pizza over the phone, or handle paperwork without needing help? Then this course is for you. We offer Spanish classes specifically designed for foreigners who are living in—or planning to move to—Buenos Aires or another city in Argentina. We love supporting students through the process of settling in, from learning greetings and local expressions to navigating some of the more complicated bureaucratic procedures. And if you’re in Buenos Aires, whether you’re staying in neighborhoods like Almagro, Barracas, Belgrano, or elsewhere in the city, you can join us in person at our school. Prefer to learn from home? You can also study online via Zoom.

“My wife is from Argentina. We travel there every year, so I wanted to learn the Spanish that people actually speak in her country. This is the place! The Zoom classes work perfectly for me, and the schedules fit my routine really well. The teachers (native Argentines) are fantastic. Highly recommended if you want to learn Argentine Spanish.”

“An amazing school for learning Spanish and finding a community in Buenos Aires! I took in-person classes there during my stay in BA, and they helped me tremendously to learn and feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. On top of that, they have fantastic events and a wonderful community that helps you discover the best things to do in Buenos Aires. I would highly recommend it!”

“I had been living in Buenos Aires for two and a half years, so I had already been through my fair share of language schools and private tutors. I had reached a point where I felt my Spanish wasn’t improving, and I wanted to try a different approach to learning. That’s when a friend recommended Porteñísima. I couldn’t have been more impressed. It’s impossible not to be inspired by their enthusiasm for Spanish, and after just six weeks, many people were already commenting on how much my Spanish had improved. There is a strong focus on speaking and, especially, on using local expressions and slang, which was exactly what I needed. Porteñísima gave me the extra push I needed to finally make that breakthrough with Spanish, and I’m incredibly happy with my progress.”
