Spanish Language (and English)
Conversation Partners
Spanish School in Buenos Aires

GIC Argentina's Conversation Partner Program is a way to improve your Spanish conversation abilities and make friends too. Upon arrival, if you sign up for this program you will be paired with an Argentinean who is learning English. You will regularly meet at least once a week and alternate between Spanish and English. It is a great way to learn Spanish in Buenos Aires faster and to make new friends in Argentina! (learn more)

Study Abroad Summer 2009
Academic Credit 		Minimize
Spanish School in Buenos Aires

Most students earn 3 - 4 semester units for each 4-week Spanish course completed and 9 - 12 semester credits for each 3-month Summer program completed. If you are in a college or university and would like to receive academic credit at your home institution, you will have to pass all the Spanish courses, and most institutions require a grade of 'C' or better before granting credit for an overseas course.  To our knowledge, 100% of previous program participants that wanted to transfer credit back to their home institution were able to do do.

Our Spanish language courses are held at a large and well-known university and it is highly likely that your university will give you course credit for our programs. Talk to your advisor (or study abroad coordinator) and arrange this ahead of time if possible.
