| We teach
international Spanish
At Ciclo Buenos Aires, we teach the variety of Spanish that is spoken
throughout the world, not just the type spoken in Río de la Plata.
In our courses, students learn a form of standard Spanish that is uncontaminated
by the idioms used in certain countries. Having learned this universal
Spanish, students will be understood in all parts of the Spanish-speaking
world.
However, since idioms do play an important role in any spoken language,
2 hours every week will be dedicated to the in-class study of the different
idioms used in each Spanish-speaking country.

Student services
Inside the school, students will find a reception area where they will
have access to fax machines, internet, as well as a wealth of information
to help them with anything that they might need as travelers in a foreign
country, including: taxi reservations, flight confirmations, and details
about trips and tourist activities that might make the student's stay
in Buenos Aires a bit more comfortable.
Our staff is always attentive to the requests of our students. All students
can rely on an emergency telephone number that they can call 24 hours
a day should they encounter any sort of problem.
Quality of instruction
The main focus of our classes is communication. We put forth clear objectives
during each class and this encourages students to remain focused on the
end results.
Teachers play a very important role in our school. We believe that the
effort that our teachers put into each lesson actually accounts for 90%
of every student's progress. For this reason, we have a staff of qualified
professionals who are specifically trained as Spanish language instructors.
We rely on modern teaching methods and techniques that have been proven
to be successful worldwide.
Throughout his or her entire stay in Buenos Aires with our program, each
student's progress will be closely monitored by the teaching staff.
A flexible calendar
It is possible to start a course at our school every Monday. On the first
day, the student will take a placement exam so that we can determine which
course best suits his or her needs and abilities.
Tutorials
Ciclo Buenos Aires offers students the option to further have their progress
monitored by a tutor who would personally help and guide them in their
study of Spanish as well with any other issues that should arise during
their stay in Argentina.
Experience in language instruction
Ciclo Buenos Aires arose from the experience of its director who, after
working both as a Spanish teacher and as an academic coordinator in several
educational institutes in Europe and North America, decided to return
to her native country and begin a new cycle. Thus arose a project that
is now a reality. Because of such experience with diverse languages, our
program bases itself on the understanding of the difficulties that a student's
native language can create for his or her acquisition of Spanish. For
this reason, we are capable of resolving the linguistic problems unique
to students from countries all over the world.
