It was a good experience I learnt a lot and the staff were very kind. The location was very good. There were no social events when I attended
Show details » Read more...Hola Teresa! Thank you sincerely for your feedback; we truly value your perspective. We understand that the social experience is an important component for many of our students. Our primary focus has been on providing deep linguistic and cultural immersion through our classes and educational activities, which often include visits to local attractions and cultural workshops. We've noted your suggestion and will certainly take it into consideration for future planning, as we always aim to enrich the experience of all our students.
We liked the location of the school which was central and close to other things we wanted to see and do in Buenos Aires.
We were very happy with our teachers and we enjoyed the concept of having two lessons with one teacher and then two lessons with another teachers. They were both very good at meeting our needs and wishes. We also really liked that the classes were from 9.00 am to 13.00 - that gave us a lot of time in the afternoons which was great.
We were also happy about the welcome from the leader - only bad thing was that they noticed so late about the carnival, so we lost two out five days!
Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed review and for your kind words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our central location in Buenos Aires and that our two-teacher class format worked so well for you, as did the schedule that allowed you to make the most of your afternoons. We will certainly pass on your compliments to our teachers, who always strive to adapt classes to each student's needs and wishes.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the carnival date changes and the impact it had on your experience. We completely understand your frustration, as we also received confirmation of those changes at very short notice, which unfortunately made earlier communication difficult. We appreciate your understanding and hope that, despite this unforeseen event, you'll cherish wonderful memories of your time learning Spanish with us.
I came to this school for two weeks having done very little Spanish before. It was a great two weeks with lovely teachers. I was in a class with only one other which was great. Highly recommend DWS.
Show details » Read more...Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a great two weeks with us, especially as a beginner in Spanish. It's fantastic that you enjoyed your small class and found our teachers lovely. We truly appreciate your high recommendation of DWS!
Saludos a todos! I spent six weeks learning Spanish at DWS. It was a great experience. The teachers are all very knowledgeable not only in how they teach Spanish, but also in working with language learners from diverse cultural backgrounds and at a wide range of ability. During my six weeks I was the only student in my class, so I received the added benefit of having my classes tailored exclusively to my language level and interests. The teachers that I had were extremely helpful in identifying targeted areas of instruction, and were responsive in addressing gaps (most notably my ignorance of the Voceo tense, which I had never learned). Additionally, the course content was engaging and immersive; each of my teachers provided valuable insight into Argentinian culture that proved very helpful during my trip. As a teacher myself, I can say that the quality of instruction at DWS was superb. My only regret is not staying in Buenos Aires longer.
Show details » Read more...What a phenomenal review! We are incredibly honored by your words, especially coming from a fellow educator. We're so glad that the personalized teaching, cultural immersion, and dedication of our teachers made your six weeks such a valuable experience. Thank you for recognizing the quality of DWS!
I was disappointed with my experience. I understood this program to be an "immersion school" that would help me integrate into the culture of Argentina and Buenos Aires, meet other travelers, etc. Instead, despite my requests to be placed in a group, I was assigned to private lessons. These lessons consisted of me and my instructor sitting in a classroom in front of a chalkboard for two hours every day, practicing verb tenses. It was very dull and not "immersive" at all. I had been studying Spanish for several years already and felt that this program gave me nothing more than I could have gotten from a high school level Spanish course in the United States. I stopped after one week. If you are just starting out with Spanish, you may find it helpful, but it did not serve my needs whatsoever and did not live up to its promises of dynamic cultural immersion.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback regarding your week with us. We are genuinely sorry that your experience was disappointing and that you did not find our program to be the immersive cultural experience you anticipated.
We understand your desire for group interaction and cultural integration. Our programs are designed to offer deep linguistic immersion, and while our private lessons allow for highly customized instruction focusing on specific grammatical needs, we recognize that this format may not always align with the social aspects of immersion many travelers seek.
It's clear that the content of your private lessons, centered on verb tenses, did not meet your expectations for an advanced or culturally dynamic experience, especially given your prior years of Spanish study. We aim to tailor private instruction to each student's existing knowledge and goals, incorporating cultural elements where appropriate. We regret that this was not your experience.
We appreciate you highlighting this mismatch, as it helps us to better communicate our program structures and set appropriate expectations for prospective students.
I really enjoyed studying at the school. Professional and very pleasant teachers. a special atmosphere. I would love to go back it was great.

It means a lot to us that you found our teachers professional and pleasant, and that you felt a 'special atmosphere' here. We would love to welcome you back anytime – it would be great to have you return!
Teachers were fun. They adressed students questions and needs.
Facilities are kind of old. But apart from missing AC they were fine with me. Location in general is very good.
Size of class with 3 people in total is perfect.
Other than that there were no further activities.
Housing was descent. The host was a lovely person though.
Thank you for your review! We're glad our teachers were fun and addressed your needs, and that you enjoyed the location and class size. It's great to hear your host was lovely too.
We want to let you know that we have now installed air conditioning in our classrooms, thus upgrading our facilities. We've also noted your desire for more activities and are exploring new options. We appreciate your valuable input!
I was in this school in a strange time, Corona virus was coming up. Our teachers gave us good information and updates about the local instructions. But besides that, they made the lessons interesting. They have asked what I want to learn and they adjust their lessons to that.
Not only to my wishes of coarse ;-) They have arranged a lovely apartment within 15 minutes walk from the school. My flight was a bit early but they managed that I could get in earlier than normal. The school has a little patio, so in between lessons we drink our coffee there and tried to practice what we have learned in the lessons.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, especially given the challenging time when the COVID-19 situation was emerging. We're incredibly proud of our teachers for not only keeping you well-informed about local instructions but also for maintaining engaging and personalized lessons by adapting to your learning goals.
It warms our hearts to hear that you found the lessons interesting and that our teachers were able to tailor the content to your needs. We also strive to make the entire experience smooth, so we're delighted that the apartment arrangement and the early check-in were helpful for you.
We love that you enjoyed our little patio for coffee and practice – it's exactly the kind of community and informal learning environment we aim to foster. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another great experience under less 'strange' circumstances!
I arrived in Argentina from France without speaking Spanish at all and I had only three weeks to learn for my travel in South America.... and they did it with me !! All the team is very great and they really adapt theirs lessons to your needs and progress. The organization is top and the location too in a nice part of the city. I spent three wonderful weeks in Buenos Aires thanks to them, I was really enjoying to go to my Spanish lessons every day and meet the teachers and other students. Thank you so much !!

I loved the school. The teaching method was fantastic. I had two teachers, Aries for a week then Santiago for the rest of the course. Both were great. Santi did an absolutely amazing job to teach me Spanish and we went very rapidly though the levels from A2 to C1 in 3 months. Feeling like a got a lot out of it!! I very much enjoyed Santi's teaching methods, conversations, and he even managed to make me absorb the subjunctive topic- a great teacher!
The location was great. I did not stay at the housing provided, so cannot comment about it. The social activities were not that great. In 3 months of attending the school I have only been invited to 2 activities, I did not know about the rest of them. The 2 activities that I went to were in not so nice locations.... I think the school could do more in this respect.
But overall I had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend the school to anyone I know!
Muchas gracias a todos!
