I attended for 4 weeks the course «regular plus Spanish course» with 2 hours group and 1 hour private lessons per day, 5 days per week. I stayed in a homestay organized by the school. I was absolutely happy I have chosen this school because: I had various teachers, all were highly educated and professional, providing a very good learning experience. The school overall is very well organized. Marina is always available if you need help. She helps you fast, even on weekends and on non-school topics. I have spent 4 months of language stays in South America before coming to Verbum, and I can only recommend this school.

Alejandro and Juju are truly fantastic tango teachers and are a great team. I stayed at Alejandro’s tango apartments and took my course of ten lessons in-house in its lovely studio of classical yesteryear charm. During my lessons Alejandro and Juju paid great attention to my every dance detail, breaking down my movements to basics, and reconstructing me LEGO-style in order to achieve the correct embrace, posture, movement, weight shifts and connection. I’m ever so grateful for their tireless correction and reiteration of all the elements important for me to achieve seemingly effortless movement in my tango. I’m now seeing the benefits of my lessons and exercises that were taught, as my body is now more relaxed while dancing, my feet do not ache as much, and the whole experience of tango is a more enjoyable connection to be had. After each lesson, one can very easily walk to nearby El Beso, to practise on the unsuspecting ! I highly recommend learning with Alejandro and Juju. Together they radiate an inner calm, and impart a traditional style of tango that is graceful and grounded, at one with the music. Not only are they great teachers, but also wonderful people, very warm and welcoming. I felt very much at home during my stay and got to know them both to be wonderful friends. The location of these apartments is central, with milongas closeby, supermarkets, eateries and day to day amenities within the neighbourhood itself. A very convenient place to stay! So after these fantastic few weeks of tango lessons and endless milongas, I hope to continue the tango journey!

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!
