Goals of the Spanish Courses
All of the Spanish courses are designed for the
student to progressively manage a conversational
situation specific to the Spanish language and its
culture. Once the corresponding session has been
completed and we are sure that the student can effectively
communicate at that level he/she will be advanced
further.
The courses are graded according to the following
levels: Beginner, False Beginner, Intermediate,
Advanced and Proficient.
Teaching Method
GRAMMAR: Grammar topics according
to the student’s proficiency are systematically
dealt with and reviewed with intensive practice.
CONVERSATION:
Working with a text, different topics of current
interest are discussed with a focus on linguistic
aspects (fluency, phonetics, syntax, etc.)
CULTURE:
Here, the student works with short stories, videos,
newspaper articles, recordings, etc. developing
in context the topics dealt with in class.
Our classes
Reduced group of up to 6 students per class. The
classes are dynamic and tailored to each student’s
particular needs. Our goal is that, within a friendly
class environment, the students improve their skills
as efficiently as possible.
Our teachers
All of our teachers are native speakers, all have
university degrees and are experienced in teaching
Spanish as a Foreign language. Most of our staff
members are graduated from the School of Languages
at the National University of Cordoba, one of the
most prestigious Schools in Argentina with regard
to language instruction.
Class materials
All of the class material is included in the price
of the course. You won’t need to worry about
extra charges for these items.
Tests and Exams
The courses have regular tests and an optional final
exam. Tests are intended to constantly monitor the
student’s performance. With the final exam,
an assessment of the student’s performance
is determined in order that they may better appreciate
their progress. |

For me, my Spanish course in Argentina has been wonderful. I felt so comfortable at all times and the people were very helpful and friendly. I felt like the experience at SET was ideal because I received much more than just Spanish grammar and bookwork. The daily interaction and conversation helped me build confidence in speaking in another language. As the weeks went by, I realized how much I was learning and SET soon became like a big family to me. I could not have asked for a better place or experience. Argentina will always be in my heart and I will always have good memories with the people and of the places I traveled.
Thanks so much for everything, now that I am back home I cannot believe how much I learned. I wish everyone the best of luck, and I really hope to visit in the future

Marco Reinhard recommends taking a Spanish course in Argentina, particularly with SET-Idiomas… "... I recommend to take a Spanish course in Argentina, particularly with SET-Idiomas..."
I hope everything is fine at SET. I had a wonderful time in Cordoba…and with the excellent DELE preparation I could successfully pass the exam in November 2006 in Buenos Aires. Here are my results:
Part 1: 32,5 points
Part 2: 16,33 points
Part 3: 43 points
I arrived to Cordoba in July without knowing a word of Spanish. I started taking lessons on July 24 and I finished a the end of November. I took group classes (2 students) everyday except during one month when I took private lessons.
I want to say thank you again for the excellent preparation.I strongly recommend to take a Spanish course in Argentina, particularly with SET-Idiomas, Córdoba, the level of the teachers is fantastic.
Please send my regards to all the team, especially my teachers. Hugs from Germany, Marco Reinhard.
