Learn Spanish/Spanish classes in Montevideo:

Description of Academia Uruguay

Academia Uruguay is located in Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo, and offers exclusively Spanish courses for foreign students. The academy runs individual and group courses for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced and also organizes courses for Spanish teachers. The school is in the center of the historic district of Montevideo, on central Plaza Matriz, right next to the main sights and attractions of the city and with excellent public transport to all other parts of town. It occupies the top floor of a completely refurbished historic building, with access to a rooftop terrace with great views over the old part of town.

Academia Uruguay and Academia Buenos Aires (Argentina) are two schools under the same management, with the same teaching material and the same skill level scales. Teacher of both schools know each other well and are in permanent contact with each other. This makes it easy for you to switch from one school to the other, without losing time. You can spend one week on the other side of the Rio de la Plata, continue traveling there or come back and take more classes at the Academia Uruguay. Prices are identical and the service has the same high level. A unique opportunity to get to know two countries so close and so different in many respects.

We built this school because we felt there was a lack of high-quality education for people like you wishing to learn Spanish in Uruguay, a country that only recently was discovered as a 'gem' on the tourist map. That had been the same reason for building Academia Buenos Aires, of which Academia Uruguay is an offspring (but independent entity).

Both schools offer you a service based on academic excellence, professional service and complete immersion.

Academic excellence at Academia Uruguay is guaranteed through several factors, but especially by its teaching staff and the study materials used. All of our staff are professional language teachers with relevant university degrees from top universities in Uruguay. All of them are native speakers, of course. Most of them speak at least two other languages and have extensive experience in working with students from abroad.

Professional service is a second important principle of Academia Uruguay. Students are guided and helped through their entire stay in Uruguay and indeed beyond that: from the very beginning of a contact with you until your departure and beyond. Staff is multilingual (Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese) and makes sure that you feel comfortable. In order to ensure this, we insist on promptness, kindness, seriousness and reliability in all interactions with students.

Complete immersion is the third basic principle the academia embraces. The founders of the academia believe that Spanish classes alone are not as productive as Spanish classes given in a context of permanent cultural immersion. There are three facets to this principle:

- Classroom introduction to Hispanic, Latin American and national culture through printed documents, classroom interaction, sound and video documents.

- Extracurricular programs which are not compulsory for the students, but recommended, and free of charge.

- The possibility to live with a host family or in a shared apartment with other students (of which at least 1 'local')
