The Linguifamily community is growing every day and today we are happy to introduce you to Nadia and Maximiliano’s family who welcome you to Argentina !
When you want to improve your Spanish, the first thing you think about is going to Spain for a few days. It is not too far from France and not too expensive. That’s right.
At Linguifamily, we offer you the opportunity to spice up your language study stay by going a little further afield… to Latin America to discover Argentina ! Argentina is a fascinating country that offers a change of scenery at all times and will provide you with moments of escape and freedom, far from our European culture.
Journey to a distant land
Language acquisition is not just about exchanging a few sentences with a native speaker. Cultural immersion far from home allows you to live a complete experience by leaving your comfort zone and meeting new people. Daring to go a little further means diving into a local culture and understanding it better. In addition to improving your Spanish skills more quickly, you will also develop your social skills and work on your adaptability. And add ” Language stay in Argentina ” on your CV, doesn’t that sound great ?
Good to know : Linguifamily’s ” ” formula, with no intermediaries, allows you to save money compared to a traditional language travel organization.

Cliché or truth ?
Argentina is the tango, the Argentine beef, the mate, the Andes mountain range and the soccer with Maradona and Messi.

Linguifamily’s advice : Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are the opposite of Europe ! The ideal period for your stay is from December to March.
