Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world, spanning a wide variety of cultural traditions, histories, and landscapes, which is why it is so rich in lexical and phonetic variations. The use of the pronoun vos instead of tú, for example, is typical of (though not exclusive to) the River Plate region. Language is an integral part of our stories, customs, and world views. Therefore, you will learn best when you are in direct contact with native speakers, because language is the people who speak it.

I came to Montevideo for a week and stayed for a year. There is plenty to enjoy here: seaside walks along the rambla, bustling outdoor markets, stunning architecture, a comfortable climate, world class music, tango, and most of all – easygoing and friendly people.
