10 Classes & Workshops in El Centro (Downtown) That You Shouldn't Miss

July 29, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

I spent 6 weeks at Spanish at Vamos Academy, and I liked it a lot. I started learning Spanish from scratch with the goal to roughly understand and being able to communicate with locals, which is what I was able to achieve. When I had an issue with my learning process, they listened attentively and were eager to help find a solution which would fit for both sides. The staff is really helpful, friendly and determined to make your stay at Vamos as comfortable as possible. In addition, there are organized activities during the week where you are able to connect with other students & learn about Buenos Aires and the Argentine culture. The school has good vibes, good people and was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Vamos.

I wanted to improve my Spanish so I spent two weeks taking 30 hours of one-on-one instruction per week. The experience exceeded my expectations. My teacher, Daniela, was extraordinary -- incredibly patient and well-versed in teaching a variety of levels using many different teaching methods. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I learned so much. Everyone at the school is so welcoming. The facilities are clean and safe. I would totally go back and recommend this school to anyone looking for group or one-on-one language training. It's an excellent school!

A great, affordable Spanish School in downtown Buenos Aires. The classes that we both took were amazing, we played games in the class, listened to fun music and learnt more about the wonderful language and marvels of Castellano. We both definitely recommend this school for its course offerings, price, professionalism and fun learning environment.

This was so much fun! We had a private lesson with Natalie and Beto, and they were terrific teachers. They knew how to teach and provide tips without making us feel like total beginners (which we were). The lesson was 1.5 hours, and we felt like we got enough basics to build on. An outstanding class.
