TANDEM Santiago Escuela de Idiomas Violeta Parra

TANDEM Santiago also uses the name Escuela de Idiomas Violeta Parra. Its school is at Triana 853 in Providencia. The programme is built around using Spanish with other people, including the option to arrange a Chilean conversation partner through the TANDEM method. For students who can already sustain a conversation, Chilean music, literature and films also appear in the school’s description of advanced language work.

What changes with course intensity

The intensive group course consists of four forty-five-minute lessons each weekday and has a two-week minimum. The super-intensive option adds a further block after the morning group, with more emphasis on conversation. Its published minimum is one week. These details matter to a visitor choosing between a short concentrated stay and a longer programme with afternoons free.

The school also describes combinations of group and private tuition. Its crash course adds an individual lesson to the group work each day. A student who wants practice with classmates but needs to revisit particular grammar or professional vocabulary can use that distinction when choosing a format. When planning a language exchange, consider how much of the day is already committed to class and how much time remains to meet a partner in Santiago.
