If you're considering studying Spanish abroad, Chile should be in the mix. You can definitely learn Spanish in Chile. Studying in Chile provides the look and feel of Spain with the independence of the Chilean spirit. Chile is the most far-flung outpost of Spanish conquest. By virtue of this remoteness, the people of Chile have been developing their unique character since long before direct Spanish control of Latin America began to wane. The dialect they speak (Chilenos call it "Castellano") is unique (and fun), but the language taught in the classroom in Chile is still genuine Spanish. Chile is one long coastal region, so you can learn where you like. If plucked from the map and placed (upside down) in the Northern Hemisphere, Chile would extend from Alaska to California, or from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. The language schools Chile offers range from the desert to the glaciers. You can find programs that link to universities in Santiago, Concepcion, Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Osorno, and to learning centers in more remote cities. You're never far from the ocean or from the snow-capped peaks of the Andes. And it has the benefit of being south of the Equator, so you can beat the crowds who study in Europe in the summer by taking the winter off to study Spanish all summer in Chile.
