These Spanish classes are offered for four hours in both the mornings and afternoons, and are limited to between 3 and 8 students. The Íbero Spanish program is designed to expose students to all facets of the language: writing, reading, speaking, listening/comprehension and grammar. Íbero Spanish School has a balanced teaching approach that allows students to progress quickly while maintaining a pleasant learning environment. Íbero values the experience of students and has built a program that is extensive in content and engaging for the student. With its own line of Íbero Spanish learning books, the school ensures students begin at the right Spanish level and progress at a rate that suits their learning. This is normally done via e-mail or on the first Monday of Spanish classes, before 10 am.
“We have created a wide range of Spanish programs and eight books, one per level of Spanish, which align perfectly with our system of evaluation and instruction” says Carolina. Our courses are unique because we provide our own, self-published line of textbooks. In other words, the professors´ teaching styles match the textbooks used in class to create a smooth and specialized learning process for each individual student.
Íbero Spanish School is located in the heart of the city. We are blocks away from the city’s famous and impressive Obelisk, and some blocks away from the city’s major avenues: Avenida Corrientes, Avenida de Mayo and the famous Avenida de 9 de Julio. With comfortable classrooms; an inviting lobby with Internet and beverages, friendly and available staff to answer your questions and because we are so centrally located, Íbero Spanish School walks you through the doors at the end of the day right into the action of the city.

Argentina Spanish: Mastering the Local Atmosphere
Studying at a language school in Argentina—specifically in Buenos Aires—offers the opportunity to enjoy the city’s rich European culture while immersing yourself in a Spanish-speaking atmosphere.
Pro-Tip: How to Roll Your Rs The double "rr" in Spanish is a common challenge, but it is entirely possible to conquer. At Íbero, our teachers help you with technical feedback:
Rest the tip of your tongue behind your top teeth.
Slide it back slowly until it reaches the ridge before your hard palate.
Rest the tip of your tongue on that ridge.
The Secret: Push out the air as fast as you can to create the vibration. Listening to natives and watching their mouth position is the best way to emulate the sound!
