Spanish Teachers in Argentina

I love the experience of teaching Spanish for foreigners, not only the language but also the culture of my country, Argentina! In times when people meet through the internet and interact through webcams, it's really nice to have and give the opportunity of meeting others face to face and of establishing human connections with people who get together to learn and share the beauty of a language (our mother tongue!). AMAUTA gives us a great chance of doing this!

Hello, I'm Luis and I had the chance to work in Amauta Cusco for a while. It was a fantastic opportunity for me to show students from all over the world how beautiful our language is. And of course my country, Perú. Now I have the amazing chance to work in Amauta Buenos Aires with such a great team. I love Buenos Aires and teaching Spanish at Amauta is also a way to learn more about this interesting country, Argentina. I'll be glad to receive every week new and old students and not only show them the language but all the wonderful culture that Latin America has to offer.

To give Spanish clases to foreigners is not only to teach a language. To teach Spanish, above all other things, is an experience of discovery. Different cultures meet to share a common learning space. This intercultural exchange is a unique experience in which the students not only learn, but so do we, the professors. The learning is mutual: we all enrich ourselves by sharing our different worldviews. Amauta gives me the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful journey and to share with you a part of my beloved Buenos Aires.

What I especially like here at Amauta Spanish School is that the teaching is based on the communicative approach. This gives the professors a lot of creativity with how they structure their classes. Each time you meet for class is different. They are always looking for ways to have their students express themselves, even from the beginner levels.

In addition, the classes are further enriched by what the students learn outside of school. In Buenos Aires there are all types of cultural events, such as "Buenos Aires night", coffee chats, bookstores and theaters of Corrientes Street and the passion for football. All these are everyday manifestations of social life in Buenos Aires. I think that this is an attractive incentive for students who are interested in practicing their Spanish in the city. At the school they aim to provide an important base from which they can venture out to do this.

I like teaching in AMAUTA for many reasons, but mainly because I enjoy seeing how my students live their experience. I love it when they start speaking Spanish with Argentines or among themselves. It’s very interesting that they don’t just learn a language; they also can connect with our culture and visit Buenos Aires in a completely different way. Last but not least, being in Belgrano allows them to study in a fascinating city without the noises from the centre: our school is surrounded by big trees and stone streets.

Working in AMAUTA is more tha having a great job. It´s the place where I can be myself completely, and I can tell that most of the students feel the same way after a few weeks here. Amauta is a multicultural space where everyone can exchange knowledge of every kind. Language is our passion and our purpose, but also our excuse to meet each other and share the magic of this incredible city. You cannot miss this experience!!

I have been working as a Spanish teacher for foreigners for five years now and honestly I´m not tired of teaching my language and share part of my culture with curious people who want to know a bit more about Buenos Aires, Argentina and Latinamerica. Personally, I think to get to know the other one is the first step to respect the other one, the respect, the tolerance and the love are the ingredients that we need to make this world a better place. So I would like to give classes in Amauta, because your team shares and gives the possibility to develop this idea. We all learn and turn to persons with integrity when we share the culture happily.

To me language is more than wonderful. Far from a theoretical learning I believe that learning a language means opening doors, breaking down barriers and escape from isolation. Getting to know the language of a people is to enter into the heart of their culture, its depths and to meet the enormous wealth those people have been treasured for ages. As a teacher I am amazed every day to see my students following this road: they start with fear and shame, they allow themselves to make mistakes ; little by little interest on "the other" grows, discovering much more of what lies behind a grammar. It is particularly rewarding to share something so precious to me, something that constitutes my identity and to help students to leave the "mute" and enjoy a fulfilling experience in our country.
