Buenos Aires is one of the top cities in Latin America for learning Spanish. Not only because of the quality of its schools, but because of the lifestyle: cafés, museums, parks, unique neighborhoods, and a huge international community.
During your first month, you’ll notice three things:
- The speed of the porteño accent (you get used to it faster than you think).
- How friendly people are — they talk to you everywhere.
- The cultural energy — there is always something happening.
Studying in Buenos Aires means learning the language and living the language. If you take classes daily, you’ll see real progress from week one.
2) 📚 The Argentine “Vos” Explained (And Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid of It)
Contents
Argentina doesn’t use “tú” — it uses “vos.”
It sounds different, but it’s very easy once you understand the pattern:
- Verbs change slightly: vos tenés, vos podés, vos hablás.
- Stress moves to the last syllable.
Why learn it?
Because “vos” is what you’ll hear every single day in real-life conversations: in supermarkets, cafés, taxis, with friends, everywhere.
Learning “vos” helps you sound natural and understand authentic Argentine Spanish without confusion.

5) 📄 Can You Study Spanish and Get Residency in Argentina? Simple Explanation
Many Wanderlust students ask if studying Spanish can help them obtain legal residency in Argentina.
The answer is yes — with a clear process:
- Our program allows you to get residencia precaria, which lets you live legally, open a bank account, and obtain a CUIT (tax ID).
- After the first year, many students switch to an Argentine university, already speaking Spanish well, and from there they apply for the DNI (residency card).
It’s a safe and common path for people who want to settle in Argentina.
