You can start your Spanish classes in Buenos Aires on any day of the week that best suits you.
Both alternatives have there own advantages. It really depends on what you as a student are looking to get out of your time at our Spanish school in Buenos Aires. Individual classes are recommended to those who require personal dedication to their learning progress or those that have more restricted schedules. One-on-one classes are more expensive; however, the learning curve is steeper and, depending on the student’s application, fluency can be attained in a much shorter period of time.
Group classes are more economical as your teacher’s time will be divided between you and the rest of your group. However, group classes also have their own advantages. You will be able to develop much stronger group skills, and have more opportunity to practice Spanish with your peers both in and out of the classroom.
