Founder
Established by Director and Professor Bibiana M. Iñarra Iraegui in 1990, Speak Spanish is leader teaching Spanish as a second language.
As we grew, our students and clients requested us to start teaching other languages.
Our staff of professionals has an excellent academic level, vast experience, and receives ongoing training.
Courses
All-level courses (beginners, intermediate and advanced levels).
We offer a broad and flexible schedule and deliver courses from Monday to Sunday, all year round.
Types of courses: REGULAR, SEMI-INTENSIVE and INTENSIVE.
We also offer: CONVERSATION courses, TRANSLATION courses, and PRE-POSTING TRAINING courses, special immersive courses for those executives or diplomats who are assigned to a new post abroad. These courses are tailored to the specific requirements of the future post.
*In house
Professors teach at students’ workplace on the day and time the student stipulates. Classes are rendered in Buenos Aires City and Buenos Aires suburbs.
*Individual
Students can establish their specific linguistic goals. We design the tuition programme, recommend the class frequency, the duration of the course, and we also offer the possibility to prepare exams and/or certifications.
*Group Classes
We propose reduced grouped courses from two up to of six students to maximize results. The group must have the same level of language skills and goals. We can design the classes for exams and/or certificates.
*Individual Virtual Classes
Classes are planned according to the specific student’s needs. This method is ideal to those people who need the service, but the location is a problem. Through the screen, the student can prepare presentations, review manuals, correct documents, write e-mails, rehearse telephone calls, correct the pronunciation, sort idiomatic doubts, etc. idiomáticas, etc.

We offer the following interpretations:
Simultaneous Interpretation: the interpreter is inside a booth and transmits the speaker’s message simultaneously. The audience can listen to foreign language speakers in their own language.
Consecutive Interpretation: the interpreter listens, waits until a complete statement is completed and then begins interpreting. When the interpreter finishes, the speaker resumes his speech.
Whispering: is a simultaneous personalized interpretation technique where the interpreter sits close to the listener and whispers the interpretation. It is used as an aid in work meetings, product launchings, selection interviews, etc.
