TEFL in Argentina - Buenos Aires
Experience the best of Argentina in its vivacious capital city, Buenos Aires “Paris of South America”. Nearly all residents speak Spanish, so this is the place for you if you also want to improve your Spanish. English is not widely spoken in Buenos Aires, so as you can imagine, there's plenty of room for another qualified English teacher. Add to this the local belief that a good night out is not a treat, it’s your God given right and you’ve found a place where people are dedicated to living life to the fullest. So why visit Argentina? Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, the 7th largest country in the world. Buenos Aires is one of the most exciting, charming and fascinating of all South American capitals. It's an immensely enjoyable place just to wander about, stopping off for an espresso or an ice cream, or people-watching, or shopping, or simply soaking up the unique atmosphere.
Add to this, the Andes, Patagonia and its glacial region, the huge Igazú falls, gauchos, skiing in the southern lake district and not to mention miles of beaches to the south of Buenos Aires and you've got a very interesting location to explore. Buenos Aires is also the business and financial center of Argentina and so is the best place to find TEFL jobs in Argentina.
