Spanish

When you learn Spanish in a Spanish-speaking country, the literature and the use of the new language becomes a part of everyday life. With a little initiative and determination, you learn to speak the language fluently.

Seminar Teaching takes place in groups of six students, and led by teachers from the Universidad de Buenos Aires (who also speaks English). They are trained in teaching Spanish as a second language and facilitate so that the students can practice the language both orally and in writing. As part of the course you will also visit local organizations.

Grammar is mainly taught through lectures in Spanish and English. The lecturer is Norwegian.

The most important part of the study is probably still the time you spend to get into Argentine society and everyday conversations with people around you.

Our Spanish studies, are academic and provide credits equivalent full-time study. In other words, not a regular language course, but a study that (if you choose further advanced courses) can give you qualifications to teach Spanish.
