Spanish classes courses study abroad Argentina Buenos Aires

Extra-curricular activities included

Students are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural activities free of charge at our partner Institute, either in the historical downtown area, around the city of Guadalajara and even in their "own home" (homestay program).

A language and cultural exchange group has been formed. It is made up of students studying English and Spanish, and they take turns practicing their language and sharing their culture every day at 5:15p.m. No extra charge.

Salsa reflects the joy and abandon of the tropical days – a major reason why this social activity is so popular among students traveling to this location. Since all skill levels run in parallel during the class, students do not have to attend consecutive lessons. Students practice the Spanish Language as they mingle and enjoy the fun every Friday at 6:15 p.m. and Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. No extra charge.

Karaoke Club - Students gather at the school auditorium for an evening where they enjoy singing, practicing language or merely chatting while listening to tunes such as Cielito Lindo, Besame Mucho, Guadalajara and many of those memorable songs that have made Guadalajaran (Tapatío) singers and authors representative legends of the most traditional Mexican Folk songs. This event is conducted by a professional music instructor. Every Wednesday evening at 7:15 p.m. and Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. No extra charge.

As part of the group courses, teachers take the students on a walking tour every Wednesday. The students learn the cultural significance of each site. This is also an excellent way to practice your Spanish in a real life setting.

Our affiliate school also offers students free guitar lessons. These lessons are conducted at their facilities in the evenings, two days per week. Students must either bring their own guitar or rent one in the city. Lessons consist of many of the most traditional Mexican ballads and songs. No extra charge.

The homestay program gives students the opportunity to learn to prepare traditional Mexican meals for lunch while in their home on Monday's. Once the students choose the dish to make from the onsite Mexican recipe guide, the host family will provide them with the ingredients, support, encouragement and warmth to help them make a traditional feast.
