Research
tells us that most people considering Teachers
Latin America do so not only for the opportunity
of working in a foreign country, but also to learn
about the culture and language. With over 20 countries
to choose from, our program participants will find
a great variety of both culture and styles of Spanish,
Portuguese, and over 100 other indigenous languages.
Teachers Latin America offers a variety of
opportunities for connecting to language study programs
in Latin America.
The
most common option is to enroll in an intensive
Spanish or Nahuact course when in Mexico
for the TEFL certificate course. Also common
is for participants, from any program, to
have Teachers Latin America enroll them
into language courses in their chosen destination
for a paid TEFL position. For example, a
TEFL Online course participant may choose
both a TEFL position and Spanish language
course in Buenos Aires, Argentina, or a
Portuguese language course in Sao Paolo,
Brazil.
Costs
for language programs vary widely across Latin America.
Some examples are cited in the Program Costs link

The
Flavors of Spanish
While
Spanish is considered one of the easiest languages
to learn, it is certainly not spoken the same
everywhere.
People
from Mexico City (chilangos) speak
Spanish with a slower pace, accentuating the
final syllable of a word or phrase with a
higher pitch, and an elongated sound.
Northern
Mexicans (norteños) have a distinct
twang in their accent and draw heavily
on American English
A
little Italian spice? Argentines, particularly
those from Buenos Aires (porteños)
have a distinct vocabulary and an accent that
is heavily influenced by Italian.
Apparently,
people from Ecuador are always angry! (Ecuatorianos)
speak a louder, more brash Spanish than their
neighbors. They also gesticulate a lot.
Brasil?
Los Brasileños speak Portuguese
of course. With style.
