Description: This six-week YFU summer program offers you an opportunity to take Spanish classes while getting to know the beautiful country of Argentina. Classes will be limited to about 10 people so that you can learn more. In addition, you'll take excursions to places like a colorful market and area schools to practice the language. You'll polish your language skills by living with a family in one of three cities in Argentina. This homestay experience offers you a chance to experience Argentinean culture as Argentines do. As the grand finale to your stay, you can take an optional trip to Estancia. Adventure and language course programs as well as year and semester options are available in over 35 countries.

Highlights: The academic year and academic semester programs include high school study while living with a host family. YFU students attend both public and private schools. The type you attend will depend on your host family. A big difference that you will discover is that teachers rather than students change classes so your classmates will be with you all day, giving you a great chance to make good friends quickly. With those classmates, you'll study 12 to 14 compulsory subjects two to three times a week. You can choose from four fields: humanities, sciences, business, or technical. Outside of regular classes, you can choose to play sports or take computer or art classes.

Year and semester students can take a ten-day optional trip to Iguazu Falls or to southern Argentina, the cost of which includes transportation to and from Buenos Aires
