Córdoba has an old university education tradition. The public National University (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) is the fourth oldest in Latin America. and the National Technological University, the Catholic University of Argentina first established in 1613. There are several universities in Córdoba like the National Technological University (Universidad Tecnológico), the Catholic University, the private University "Blas Pascal" and the University "21th Century" (Siglo 21). The offered academic educational program is very wide, highlighting the numerous master's and doctoral programs.

In 2009 the “Ambassador of the Chimpanzees” Jane Goodall visited the Monkey Rehabilitation Center located in the Sierras Chicas of Córdoba 12 km from the village La Cumbre. The famous british primate researcher took a walk over the 360 hectar compound, the home of over 100 black howler and carayá monkeys. The reserve at 1.400 meters above sea level is not the natural home of this species. It is an orphanage and rescue center for formerly enclosed primates in private households or used for commercial purposes. The rehabilitation center is the first one opened in Argentina.

Like every country or region has its own accent and words also Argentina developed typical expressions. Argentina is a country full of immigrants or descendants of immigrants, mainly from Italy, Spain and other European countries. Every immigrant enriches the language with new phrases and words. You also must know that in Argentina and in South America nobody speaks “Español”…. They call it “Castellano”. Castellano just means the South American Spanish.

Here some common “argentinisms” (Argentinean words or expressions).
