“I loved my classes with Magui, Majo, and Belén. They are highly skilled, attentive teachers. The school has developed original and engaging teaching methods in a relaxed and welcoming environment. I learned a tremendous amount, and I still use the course materials I brought back from Buenos Aires. I’m so glad I chose Porteñísima Escuela to practice my Spanish, and I highly recommend it!”
Laurence Saltiel, France 🇫🇷

“I had taken Spanish classes before, and I always found them incredibly boring and hard to stay focused on. I really enjoy Porteñísima’s personalized exercises because they keep me engaged. For example, when learning adjectives to describe personality traits (arrogant, intelligent, etc.), we did an activity using fictional online dating profiles. Creative and fun activities like that are, in my opinion, much more effective than the typical textbook exercises that can become tedious.”
Joe Szabo, USA 🇺🇸

“This year, I decided to finally put into practice my long-standing plan of studying Spanish abroad, so I started looking for a good language school. I considered four different schools, comparing prices and locations.
If you’re looking for a great school, effective teaching methods, and excellent teachers in a welcoming environment, look no further—Porteñísima is the perfect choice.
I enjoyed the experience so much that I extended my stay by an extra week. I can only thank Majo, Karo, and Aldo for their care, warmth, and such enjoyable classes. It was an experience I highly recommend.”
