Description: Come Enjoy the culture of Argentina while taking Spanish and Cooking Classes!

At Elebaires we offer private international cooking lessons for USD 52 per lesson (lessons are an hour and a half). You can choose any type of food you want to learn to cook, but obviously the chef's specialize in Argentine food such as juicy steaks, tender and flavorful pastas, medialunas (famous Argentine croissants) and many other pastries and breads that the Argentine's love! Classes are done in Spanish but the chef's realize that everyone has a different level of Spanish and can cater to everyone's needs. Cooking lessons in Spanish are a great way to learn the language, immerse yourself into the culture and eat some great Porteno foods!

After your cooking lesson then it's time to learn some more Spanish! At Elebaires we offer Intensive Spanish immersion programs of varying lengths including both private and group lessons year-round. We additionally offer excursions, support services, social and cultural activities, skill workshops such as tango and photography, local homestays with Argentine students or families as well as internship and volunteer placements to complement courses and provide additional opportunities for linguistic and cultural immersion.

By emphasizing the importance of actually living in Argetina like a true Porteno, and experiencing and participating in Argentine culture rather than just observing it, Elebaires really sets itself apart from other Spanish organizations abroad.

All of our professors are university-educated, native speakers that have specialized Spanish instruction degrees. They highly enjoy teaching, and make a special effort to not only teach Elebaires students Spanish, but also to get to know them on a personal and social level.

The integrated nature of Elebaires classes, homestays, workshops, excursions, and activities allows students to truly live like Portenos and take a hands-on approach to learning; students who choose Elebaires programs experience Buenos Aires on the most profound level possible.
