5-10 minute free and on-the-go activities!

Throughout the Summer, we invite you to discover Argentina’s uniqueness with free weekly activities. 

How is it done?
You read a text and learn fun facts about Argentina, then you may record your reflections on a couple of short questions and get feedback on your answers. You will love the interaction with our instructors and the freedom to do it at your own pace and from any device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.).

The Platform: VoiceThread
VoiceThread is a simple learning tool that encourages you to talk, listen and interact with the content. It allows you to record either video or audio comments, and then seeing the instructor’s personalized feedback as it pops up right on the same page. Every week we will share a link so you can work on a specific Brush Up Activity… and be amazed by Argentina’s diverse culture.

Please note that you will need to create an account to login to www.voicethread.com. This is a very easy-to-follow and free process.
