How is Everyone? Hopefully you are enjoying Spring, getting to know the city, and meeting new people all through your study of Spanish. How could you not enjoy yourself in a city with such much to do? We wanted to share with you what activities we are planning for next week. Feel free to invite your friends whether or not they are studying at Íbero, the more the merrier. We plan all of our activities so that everyone can show up and have a great time. We look forward to seeing you this week!
You should already know: Monday the 12th of October is a national holiday. All schools, banks and offices will be closed in commemoration of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Coast of America in 1492. Classes will begin Tuesday!
Tuesday we will host our weekly film screening here at the school. This week we are going to watch "El Hijo de la Novia", a very famous Argentine film from 2001. The film was nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film in 2001. If you would like to come and practice Spanish comprehension as well as see an excellent film, we will see you Tuesday at 2pm here at Íbero.
Wednesday we are going to visit the house where Carlos Gardel lived, the most important and well known Tango Singer of all time. We will visit the house he lived in during his infancy and youth, that is located in the neighborhood of Abasto, near the shopping center. We will learn about Gardel's life and listen to some of his most famous tangos. For those who are interested in this genre of music, this trip is a must! If you would like to join us, we will meet in the school Wednesday at 3pm to take the subte.
Thursday we will hold our weekly conversation practice for students who have class in the afternoon. We will meet at Café Tortoni, the oldest café in the city, founded in 1858. We will meet at the café at 11am to have an informal conversation in Spanish to practice what we are learning during the week in class. Don't worry if you only speak a little Spanish, the idea is to always improve. The café is located on Avenida de Mayo 829 and we will meet Thursday at 11am.
Friday we will have another conversation practice, this time in the afternoon, so the students in the morning can also practice their Spanish. We will go to a bar called Cumaná, which offers many different types of regional Argentine food. We will meet there at 6pm and have a relaxed conversation for around 2 hours. The bar is on Rodríguez Peña 1149, half a block from Avenida Santa Fe. Take advantage of this opportunity to try traditional Argentine food, drink mate and practice your Spanish outside of the school. ¡Nos vemos!
Finally, Saturday we are going on a Bike Tour of Puerto Madero. We will meet at the School at 3pm, rent bikes in Puerto Madero and get to know the Ecological Reserve Park. The Ecological Reserve of Buenos Aires is a large park behind Puerto Madero, where many people go on their weekends. There is a large path about 7 kilometers long where you can run or ride a bike. It is a great way to experience nature while being so close to the city. We will see you at 3pm at Íbero!
We hope you like our activities for this week!
¡Nos vemos!
¡Nos vemos!
-Un saludo de todo el staf de Íbero.
