Our
intensive courses are for foreigners traveling to Argentina.
They are designed for people coming from abroad and
who choose our country as their destination. They come
to Santa Fe city wishing to learn Spanish or to improve
and perfect their knowledge of the language.
Our courses comprise tuition as well as socio-cultural
activities throughout the stay in our city. They are
organized in four levels: Elementary, Pre-Intermediate,
Intermediate and Advanced, with each level being divided
into 3 modules. Courses are offered during January,
February, July and August.

| Level
1: - Elementary Level (Survival) |
| At
this level students learn to express themselves and
understand speakers in everyday situations in the
street, shops, restaurants, etc. and in their working
environment. They can have short telephone conversations
and read simple texts. Students are able to answer
questions easily but have difficulties in asking them.
Students can have short conversations with native
speakers. By the end of the course, mistakes in their
oral expression do not hinder communication. |

2: Pre-intermediate Level (Exchange) |
| At
this level students exchange ideas with other speakers
and talk about various topics with a certain degree
of abstraction, with a greater fluency, and engage
in lengthier conversations. Students can present and
exchange information, opinions, and points of view,
and know how to justify them using simple structures
and basic language. Students are active participants
in conversations. They can negotiate and manage situations
that take an unexpected course. Despite their limited
vocabulary, students are able to find alternative
expressions. Complex grammatical structures are not
yet expected. |
| Level
3: Intermediate Level (Discussion) |
| Upon
completion of this level, students are able to express
their viewpoints about abstract topics, argue, discuss
and formulate hypotheses fluently, using appropriate
grammar. They understand discourse of a certain complexity
in different registers. They have a general knowledge
of language and grammar and use complex grammatical
structures. Their vocabulary is wide and they are
capable of using synonyms. |

4: Advanced Level (The Subtleties of Language) |

are able to express themselves with grammatical and
semantic accuracy, and apply discourse strategies.
Furthermore, students are able to understand fast,
complex and fluent discourse in different registers.
