“I took a free class at PorteñĂsima and was truly impressed. It’s definitely a place I would recommend: well located, with wonderful people and a teaching approach that is both fun and easy to stick with. Beyond the classes themselves, they help you settle into the city, offer practical advice based on your personal situation, suggest places to visit, and even help you connect with other people. I loved the experience and left with a huge smile on my face!”
Nadja Radovanovic, Germany 🇩🇪
“…They can also help you based on what you’re doing here, offering suggestions for things to enjoy, places to go, or even practical ideas—like my teacher’s recommendation to look for a job at a local bicycle shop. I highly recommend this school! I had a friend who was studying at another language school and wasn’t satisfied. After switching to PorteñĂsima, her Spanish improved noticeably, along with her confidence.”

Garry Kapko, USA 🇺🇸
“After just one month of classes with Maio and Karo, I was speaking better Spanish than I had after nearly five years of studying in the United States. In addition to teaching the Spanish language in general, they teach you the Spanish you actually need to thrive in Argentina. Whether I was talking with colleagues at the office or friends at a bar, I was able to communicate and express myself with confidence. Two years later, I’m still in Buenos Aires, still taking classes, and still improving my Spanish. PorteñĂsima gave me the language skills I needed to live like a true porteño in Buenos Aires!”
