Hotel Regal Pacific Buenos Aire

If you're going to be in Buenos Aires for a while, you can take language classes. The options are pretty much endless, but one place I would recommend is the Instituto de Enseñanza Superior en Lenguas Vivas Juan Ramón Fernández, located at 1515 Carlos Pellegrini near Retiro. It's a public elementary/high school, but it offers private language classes in the evenings. I took an Arabic class here, and it was a lot of fun. The class was small, which allowed for a lot more teacher-student interaction. They offer a lot of languages. Some of the ones that I remember: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, English, and French. The school is housed in a very impressive old mansion, with a nice interior patio (see below).
