Yes, after you, fidgiegirl, and some others have said that, I did a little research and now I'm wondering if Argentina is the right place for this. Considering we will probably rarely communicate with Argentinians, we need to reconsider the destination, I think....Originally Posted by redfox

I saw several places listed online and this one sounded good www.ecela.com as it's in many different SoAmerican countries. Of course you can also go right to the source - to Spain www.spanishschoolsinspain.com - and learn Castillian or Catalan (what I learned living in Spain for almost a year - very different from "regular" castillian spanish). probably lots more expensive but it would be a great way to immerse yourself in spanish culture rather than So. American or Mexican culture - which are very different from spanish culture. Although I think you are more interested in So. American culture and tradition rather than european spain.

It's harder to surround yourself with language if you're not working or studying, so I'd say go for the immersion programme instead of just kind of hanging out in Argentina for a while.
Although I have never been to South America, I lived and worked in Spain for two years. I would never have achieved fluency in the language had I not been working in a Spanish-speaking environment. The easiest way to improve your language skills is to combine classroom learning with socialising and/or working in Spanish.
That said, I did do a 4-week intensive Portuguese course in Portugal and could speak pretty well at the end of that, even though I didn't have a Portuguese social circle as such. I think this had to do with prior knowledge of another romance language though. I'm not sure.
