The book according to its readers
They have followed our online courses, studied with us in Buenos Aires and worked with our material.
“I have found an amazing book, “Enjoy the tango of learning Spanish” by Demian Gawianski. It is a Spanish course complete with CDs, but designed for people like me who are here to immerse themselves in the tango culture. The Spanish is Castellano, the learning situations are tango related, the lyrics of famous tangos are included as part of the course of study. This book is the bees knees when it comes to learning castellano. I have it and even now, I use it for reference.”

“As an avid tango dancer, I’ve much appreciated the useful terms and phrases I’ve learned from this book, which includes lyrics of my favorite tango songs. I can now sing along as I dance. I’ve been taking private classes with Demian for more than a year and I can testify that he is a great teacher. He is patient and knows all the common mistakes we English speakers tend to make. He tailors his classes to the need and level of each student and is very sensitive and funny. He’s also highly knowledgeable of the culture, politics, arts, and every area of Buenos Aires, its barrios, restaurants, spectacles. He?s well traveled and speaks many languages. I can’t recommend him more highly. See for yourself. “

“What I like particularly about it is that the book doesn’t deal with some situations made up out of nothing. Here you learn a lot about the city of Buenos Aires, about the people, about the habits and, of course, also about Tango. For me as a Tango teacher, the translations are very helpful, the work with the Tango lyrics since, as I said, dancing is one thing; understanding the Tango lyrics and the culture behind them is something else.”
