Alp's experience with Mente Argentina
Alp, from Turkey, spent two weeks with Mente Argentina taking Spanish, tango and cooking classes. Two weeks sounded long beforehand but turned out not to be enough. Alp quickly realized how important Spanish is for really talking with people, and loved Buenos Aires for its barrios, both touristic and truly local, hoping more people will come and enjoy the city with Mente.
In Alp's own words

Hi, I'm Alp. I'm from Turkey, and I was with Mente Argentina for two weeks to take Spanish courses, tango courses, and cooking classes. Before I came here, I felt as if two weeks would be a really long time, but now it has not been enough. When I first came here, I realized that it is really important that you know Spanish so that you can really speak with the people. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city. All the barrios, all the places you can go, it is both touristic and really local. I love this city, and I just hope that more people can come here with Mente and continue to enjoy this city and this experience.
