STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Karl from the United States



Salta is a magnificent place to learn Spanish, all the more so when you have such an enthusiastic, capable teacher as Ivana. I wasn't at the most basic level of Spanish when I came, so I was able to learn more complicated grammar and work on my conversation skills. This was really ideal for me, and Ivana was masterful at using the whole city to make the learning more enjoyable. She is both well organized in her approach and flexible, possessing that wonderful ability to sense what it is on that particular day that I need: going back to basics when necessary, working on my listening skills, or gently pushing me to make the next step in my speaking ability. I have studied Spanish in Ecuador and Nicaragua, as well, but I happen to especially love Argentine Spanish and the Argentine people. Her expertise in teaching, her patience, and her delightful sense of humor made Ivana the perfect teacher for me.



Felicity from Australia


Ivana gave me many hours of great tuition at very short notice during my stay in Salta. She was very welcoming, friendly and generous with her time and very patient with my learning! Ivana also speaks really good English so was able to make very clear explanations of Spanish equivalents. I would highly recommend Ivana's lessons because she tailors a program to suit your individual needs, and really helps you to practice phrases and situations you are likely to need and use in everyday interactions during your travels. The vocab I learnt really came in handy and I found myself referring back to the material Ivana gave me to remind myself of the appropriate answers and questions to common conversations I had time and again. I would highly recommend Ivana's lessons if you are in Salta. Muchas gracias Ivana! - Felicity, Australia

All the best for a wonderful and happy 2015!

Pierre BREDAR, 33 years old, marketing manager, France

“During a 5 weeks trip in Argentina, I took Spanish courses each week in various locations (Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Salta...). The ones taken with Ivana were simply the most efficient. Thanks to her empathy, her ability to focus on "right points", her professionalism; I felt quickly comfortable and really got noticeable results in only one week."


Jo Ann from EE.UU.

I can't say enough good things about Ivana! She's a super Spanish teacher. Her classes were always well organized and interesting. I never got bored! She also was a great host and taught me a lot about Salta and Argentina. I left not only knowing more Spanish, but I felt like I had made a great friend! 


Tom from Irland

Dear Madam
I would quickly like to convey my thanks. I have just completed a beginner course in Spanish through your organization in Salta. The course was organized at extreme short notice and has very much met and exceeded my expectations.
Also I would like to mention my teacher Ivana Taritolay, in provided a truly excellent service. She created an excellent learning environment, challenging me to achieve as much as possible in the short time, while also making it a truly enjoyable and fun experience. Ivana also gave up much of her own time to show me some of her beautiful city and culture. She demonstrated such dedication and professionalism that will not be easily matched. I will certainly have no problem recommending her to colleagues and friends in the future.

INTRODUCTION

There is more to learning a language than simply attending lessons. Learning a language involves taking an interest in the country, its culture and its people. We will help you to achieve this goal so that you will be able to look back on your language course as a positive and pleasant experience.

THE COURSES

Lessons 
Each group consists of a maximum of 10 students. The program includes 4 lessons or less per day of 50 minutes each, which are given in Spanish. The emphasis is placed on conversation. As the contents are reasonably flexible, students are welcome to make suggestions for topics of conversation. Grammar is taught in context. Written explanations of grammar points are available in English and Spanish to aid your understanding.

Course levels and assessment

The following descriptions of the various course levels will assist you in judging your own level of ability. You are asked to indicate your level on the enrolment form. On the first day of the course you will be given a placement test, the results of which will be discussed with you in detail. It is still possible to change courses at a later stage, if necessary. Tailor made courses are also possible.

Level 1 (Beginners):This course is designed for absolute beginners. Basic vocabulary and grammar structures are taught which should enable you after a short time to cope with everyday Spanish life and to react in important situations.
Level 2 (Elementary):This course is for students with some previous knowledge of the Spanish language. The student's vocabulary is extended so that he or she can master everyday situations. The important indicative tenses are also dealt with.
Level 3 (Intermediate):Students should have a good knowledge of the Spanish language. In grammar the indicative tenses are revised and the most important forms of the subjunctive are dealt with. The emphasis is on being able to express oneself fluently.
Level 4 (Advanced):This course is intended for those who would like to perfect their use of Spanish and revise the finer points of grammar. They learn to express themselves at a elevated level and at the same time to understand and use a large number of the countless idioms, including local ones.

SALTA "LA LINDA"

Salta "The Beautiful"

The Province of Salta is situated in the Northwest of Argentina and it borders three countries: Chile, Bolivia,  Paraguay, and six Argentinian provinces: Jujuy, Formosa, Chaco, Santiago del Estero, Tucumán and Catamarca.

Salta stands out for its geographic and climatic heterogeneity, from the desert coldness of the Andes and the Puna to the subtropical heat of the jungle, with cool fertile valleys, mountains and rivers in between.

Salta 's traditional hospitality and provincial cordiality blend with its great cultural richness. Its heritage is vast and varied: ancient Diaguita-Calchaqui and Inca vestiges, the more recent Spanish colonial legacy and its active involvement in the independence wars. These features are still alive in the architecture of its villages, towns and in the city of Salta itself.
The first people to live in this area were aware of its outstanding natural beauty and called it "SAGTA", which in the Aymara language means "very beautiful one". Even today Salta is known as "the pretty one".

Now we invite you to discover it for yourself.
