 Levels |
Academia Buenos Aires offers 8 different levels of classes (from Beginner to Very Advanced) to meet the special requirements and enhance the learning of each and every student. Learning sessions take place in group classes. Every level has its own communicative, grammatical and pragmatic objectives. On every level, professors use a great variety of learning situations, mixing oral communication and listening comprehension using audio and video, text reading, etc.
Every level has one part of its content dedicated to social, cultural and political life in Argentina and to Argentine and Latin-American history.
When our students arrive at the Academia Buenos Aires, our academic supervisor determines their skill levels by means of a short oral and written test. As a result of this test, and taking into account the needs of the student, his or her individual study program is determined. We offer group and individual classes. Students are allowed to mix their schedules with group and individual classes.
To get an idea of your own level, take the test in the Test your Spanish section of this website!
