All classes are conducted in our
spacious historical building in the very center of Buenos
Aires.
Students can choose between
morning and afternoon classes, group style learning, or

cater their private lessons to area-specific/technical
vocabulary; virtually everyone can customize their Spanish

exclusive line of textbooks, created by our professionals with
the idea that foreign students can learn Spanish from the
absolute beginner level (those with no background in the
language) through the superior level (those who already are
fluent).
There are books for each of the
respective eight levels of Spanish taught in our school.
Íbero also specializes in a number
of other professional and accredited offerings apart from
Spanish classes.
Our Íbero TEFL Certification
Program provides training for aspiring English teachers, and

What´s Happening this Week at Íbero Spanish School?
Wednesday October 7th, 2009
Hi Friends of Íbero Spanish,
How is Everyone? Hopefully you are enjoying Spring, getting to
know the city, and meeting new people all through your study of
Spanish. How could you not enjoy yourself in a city with such
much to do? We wanted to share with you what activities we are
planning for next week. Feel free to invite your friends whether
or not they are studying at Íbero, the more the merrier. We plan
all of our activities so that everyone can show up and have a
great time. We look forward to seeing you this week!
You should already know: Monday the 12th of October is a
national holiday. All schools, banks and offices will be closed
in commemoration of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the
Coast of America in 1492. Classes will begin Tuesday!
Tuesday we will host our weekly film screening here at
the school. This week we are going to watch "El Hijo de la
Novia", a very famous Argentine film from 2001. The film was
nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film in 2001. If you
would like to come and practice Spanish comprehension as well as
see an excellent film, we will see you Tuesday at 2pm here at
Íbero.
Wednesday we are going to visit the house where Carlos
Gardel lived, the most important and well known Tango Singer of
all time. We will visit the house he lived in during his infancy
and youth, that is located in the neighborhood of Abasto, near
the shopping center. We will learn about Gardel's life and
listen to some of his most famous tangos. For those who are
interested in this genre of music, this trip is a must! If you
would like to join us, we will meet in the school Wednesday at
3pm to take the subte.
Thursday we will hold our weekly conversation practice
for students who have class in the afternoon. We will meet at
Café Tortoni, the oldest café in the city, founded in 1858. We
will meet at the café at 11am to have an informal conversation
in Spanish to practice what we are learning during the week in
class. Don't worry if you only speak a little Spanish, the idea
is to always improve. The café is located on Avenida de Mayo 829
and we will meet Thursday at 11am.
Friday we will have another conversation practice, this
time in the afternoon, so the students in the morning can also
practice their Spanish. We will go to a bar called Cumaná, which
offers many different types of regional Argentine food. We will
meet there at 6pm and have a relaxed conversation for around 2
hours. The bar is on Rodríguez Peña 1149, half a block from
Avenida Santa Fe. Take advantage of this opportunity to try
traditional Argentine food, drink mate and practice your Spanish
outside of the school. ¡Nos vemos!
Finally, Saturday we are going on a Bike Tour of Puerto Madero.
We will meet at the School at 3pm, rent bikes in Puerto Madero
and get to know the Ecological Reserve Park. The Ecological
Reserve of Buenos Aires is a large park behind Puerto Madero,
where many people go on their weekends. There is a large path
about 7 kilometers long where you can run or ride a bike. It is
a great way to experience nature while being so close to the
city. We will see you at 3pm at Íbero!
We hope you like our activities for this week!
¡Nos vemos!
-Un saludo de todo el staf de Íbero.
