Description of Tandem Santiago

LA ESCUELA

Our Spanish language school is situated in a beautiful old mansion, built in the beginning of the 20th century, in Providencia -the modern Santiago- near popular parks, and little restaurants, just a few minutes from Underground station Salvador at the entrance of the famous 'Barrio Bellavista'.

The neighborhood is a magnet for students, artist and craftsmen. 'Violeta Parra' was founded in 1992 and has been a member of the international TANDEM net since 1996. We offer full immersion language courses, lodging with families or in pensions, assuring individual service in a friendly atmosphere.

The instruction is divided into seven levels:

Beginner, Basic I+II, Intermediate I+II and Advanced I+. We teach for 20, 30, or 35 lessons per week. There are maximum of 7 students per class, but generally there a less.

The teachers are committed professionals speaking Spanish as their native language. The main goal is to achieve the proficiency to communicate well. In accordance with the TANDEM-method, we arrange a Chilean language- exchange-partner. In addition to the lessons, we offer a program designed to give student insight into the cultural, political, socio-economicalan ecological context.

EXCURSIONS

We organize weekend excursions to the Andes, to hot springs, to National Parks and to the coast. Our students can also choose from a wide variety of activities such as rock climbing, trekking, Rafting or skiing in the winter.

For those who are more interested in city life, we can direct them toward the 'salsotecas' in Bellavista, where they can learn to dance Tango, Salsa or Merengue. We offer a program designed to accommodate individual interests, while the student is completely immersed in the Spanish language.
