Spanish and Counseling in Argentina – priority consideration – April 30th

I just wanted to send a quick reminder of the Spanish & Counseling summer program in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  There are two sessions (early and late summer).  Each has over half of the 35 spots already reserved.

Students that have not yet requested information should contact us to learn:

  • Parameters such as program dates, costs (far less than you think), and prerequisites.
  • Spanish course details like what to exect in class (very different from college).
  • Counseling components such as professional shadowing, role playing (in Spanish), and in-depth looks into various Argentine social services.
  • Cultural activities such as salsa dancing, local traditional festivos, and even learning to cook Argentine food.
  • Overview of housing options: live with a local family (recommended) or share an apartment with other students.
  • Weekend excursions like a bike tour of the nature reserve and a special group trip to an authentic estancia (ranch).
  • Video “experience reflections” from past participants, each offering specific advice to get the most out of the program.
  • Details on the $300 flight assistance credit to help with travel expenses.
  • Scholarship opportunities for pre-health students who plan to use Spanish in their careers.

You may request information here. (Only your name and email required).

Students that already have the above information may begin the application process to not miss out.

There’s a poster on the wall here that says that ECELA is an unforgettable experience, and I can’t agree more!!! My grammar and conversation classes, the cultural experiences, the volunteer projects, and living in a homestay have all helped me improve my Spanish and learn about Argentina.
  
The conversation class was a laid-back place to practice my Spanish, meet my classmates, and have profound conversations. We talked about Argentine history, culture, traditions, and daily life, and compared Argentina to my country, the USA.

During my Spanish lessons we discussed actual topics like the farmer`s strike of last week. It`s fun to discuss and improve my Spanish skills at the same time. After school nice activities are organised for us. This week I’ve been to a spectacular soccer match of Boca Juniors in the “Bombonera” Stadium.

I’ve also prepared a typical Argentine dish called “empanadas” and of course I have been going out at night with my fellow students.
