Mente Argentina
Destiny's University Spanish Experience in Buenos Aires
Destiny's experience with Mente Argentina
Destiny, from North Carolina Central University, did a four-week Spanish program with Mente Argentina. Though she could have joined a higher level, she chose to start from the beginning because Buenos Aires Spanish is so different from what she knew, and she is very happy with that decision. She found it all very different from the United States and enjoyed it thoroughly, joining many activities and visiting places like Tigre and Luján, and she gives a shout-out to Brida, whom she calls the best. She recommends La Boca, Tigre, Puerto Madero and city tours. She found the people friendly and made porteño friends she expects to keep forever. She wasn't ready to go home and wishes the program existed in other Latin American countries.
In Destiny's own words

Hi, I'm Destiny. I enrolled with Mente Argentina under the study abroad program to study Spanish, and I did the four-week program. It was very different from the United States, and I really enjoyed it. The level I could have been in, I chose to start back over from the beginning, because Buenos Aires Spanish is very different from the States. I enjoyed learning new information again from Spanish, and I'm very happy that I took that course. Overall, I enjoyed my wonderful experience. Mente is the best. I have done so many activities. I'm not ready to go home, and you get to go to so many places. A big shout-out to Brida, because she was the best. I really enjoyed the city. If you come, you have to go to La Boca, Tigre, or Puerto Madero, and take many tours around the city, because it's just amazing. I would definitely recommend Argentina. The people here are friendly. I've met some local porteños, and I've enjoyed them. We're going to be friends forever. I definitely recommend this program. It's awesome. I wish it was in other Latin American countries. I really enjoyed all the activities. I liked Tigre, I liked the tour that I did, and I liked visiting Luján.
