    What Common Mistakes Have You Made In Spanish?

    I was so happy to find pillows that were soft yet supportive. At the check out counter at Jumbo I told the woman that…Estoy recontento con mis nuevas almorranas. She couldn't stop laughing. When she did finally catch her breath she told me the word was almohadas and then explained almorranas...

    The Use Of The Word, "lynching" In The Media.

    Does anyone else feel that the use of this word marginalizes the victim of the theft and paints the ladrón as the victim? Something doesn't sit right with me about this. Thoughts?

    Should I Enroll In Usa Health Insurance

    I keep my US plan since I am back and forth frequently. Swiss just asks for your passport...no DNI required.

    Moving Within A Month, Where To Find Housemates

    Hey FromChicago, I split me time between Barrio Norte and Wrigleyville. Welcome. I lived in Palermo when I first came to BsAs...it was a bit like Lincoln Park. Recoleta has a Gold Coast feel. Barrio Norte feels a bit like North and Clybourn.

    Spanish Schools Recommendations (Afternoon Classes?)

    I liked Expanish and I took afternoon classes there. Others have not enjoyed the school as much. Pablo was my instructor and he still teaches there. Not sure what level you are but I started at B1 and went to B2.

    Spanish Classes

    Hey Sleslie23, How big was your class at CdB? My class was large, I think we started with 18. We were in the room directly to the left of the office and it was really cramped.

    Spanish Classes

    You are completely right, I could have been extremely lucky with my professors at Expanish and extremely unlucky at IBL. Again, UBA has great programs as well but I just happened to have had much more fun at Expanish. I am just trying to give you mine opinion of my experience since I did...

    Spanish Classes

    Most schools in BsAs do charge about the same price...around 200 USD for 20 hours a week so there doesn't seem to be much wiggle room with that. I also have a decent budget so cost was not a factor for me but I know other people do have to budget a bit more carefully. If you try a school and...

    Spanish Classes

    I liked Expanish...UBA was great too...I just didn't think it was as fun...the students, the teachers, etc. I did look at ECELA in Recoleta but they wouldn't even let me take a placement test before I paid so I thought that was a big red flag. IBL was the first school I went to and I found the...

    Spanish Classes

    Der Achtundzwanzig, did you study at Expanish. I was there for six weeks and I thought the quality was excellent and the classes were really fun. It is intensive and you are expected to do you homework but I found it fun. I also liked the support staff as they were very helpful with day to day...

    What To Bring From Us?

    Pepto Bismal. They have crema de bismuto but it comes in a very small bottle and is much more expensive than Pepto.
