Buenos Aires: A Latin American city that foreshadows all others
This project is a three-week immersion in language and culture of Argentina, with a particular focus on Buenos Aires. Participants in the project will engage in the study of Spanish at the BAESP language school. Upon arrival students will be placed according to their language proficiency (from beginner's level to advanced) and will take four hours a day of class taught by an Argentine instructor. Afternoons and evenings will be dedicated to a series of cultural activities in Buenos Aires, from theatre performances, films, cafés, art exhibitions and museum visits to tango lessons, cooking classes and city tours following in the footsteps of such historical figures as Evita Perón, Carlos Gardel, and Diego Maradona. Students will be staying with Argentine families to further explore the local way of life. This Interim will also include out-of-town excursions, including a visit to the Iguazú waterfalls on the border with Brazil and Paraguay and a trek on the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia.
This blog will provide broader access to some of the experiences of students on the Buenos Aires interim trip in January 2011.
