I realize most users here already speak good English, but if you know someone who is looking to work on their English, keep me in mind. Conversation or grammar/ exams. I am a professional writer/journalist (books, TV, radio, newspapers) and and have experience teaching. Centro o zona norte...

Bring cash, lots of cash in dollars or Euros. Once you get here it´s hard to get more. And dollars currently fetch 10+ pesos on the black market, as opposed to the 6.50 you get at the change houses. Good luck.

For this sort of thing you will likely need an official translator. They actually have licences here! Many of them are horrible translators, but the work is sanctioned by the state. A little bit like the taxi driver I once complained about. The reply was "but he has a licence!"

I want to swap English lessons (I am an experienced teacher of English) for lessons in German and/or French. I used to be decent in both, but they have nearly vanished over the years. I am getting ready to return to the land of the semi-civilized (Europe). Just one year to go and I would like to...

I only watch the news (I`m a journalist). But it is terrible. I find myself unable to explain to Argentines what I actually do, since there is nothing even remotely comparable here. RR

What does bother me intensely is the use of the term "nortemamericano." Newspapers here (even the smart ones like La Nacion) regularly refer to US ambassadors and officials as nortemamericano, as if they also represent Canada and Mexico. North America is three countries, with different...

Just get her some marmite. Won`t be able to tell the difference. RR : )

These flucuations are caused by the Argie Central Bank intervening in the foreign currency market to buy Pesos, hence propping up the peso. Problem is, the bank doesn`t have sufficient dollars to do this for long. It is an attempt, most likely, to simply relieve some of the pressure on the...

I am interested, particularly in your Coghlan student since I live there. I have experience teaching some, but I can assure you my English skills are excellent, as a professional writer-broadcaster for 15 years. I have to run but will send you some samples of my work over the weekend. Regards...

It`s on at Patio Bullrich in Recoleta and in Spanish it is called (oddly enough) - Argo. Good luck. RR

I always suggest that people check out the US radio network NPR (www.npr.org). It has all of its material (about 7 hours a day) in audio form, but they also have transcripts, so you can listen and read at the same time, something I have always found very useful when learning a new language (8...

They are installing them in the train stations and a lot of subte stations as well, but they don´t work yet. However, everytime you use your card it tells you the remaining balance, but you have to be quick, becuase it doesn´t stay on the screen for long. RR

Try an outdoor`s store (there i a great one on Yrigoyen just west of 9 de Julio). Buy a fishing scale, very cheao and weighs next to nothing. I`ve had the same one for 20 years+ (almosy everything rldr has been stolen!) RR

If you go along Puereydon between Plaza Miserere and Santa Fe, it is one big Jewish zone. Every restaurant has been approved by a Gran Rebe and anyone there will be able to give you good advice, if you don´t find it here. But one query. I thought I knew my Judaica preety well, but what makes a...

I don´t a simgle Argentine who keeps their US$ savings in a bank account. They all keep cash and either put it in a safety deposit box (if they can get one) or under the matress. Thye mostly remember 2002, when their US$ in banks suddenly lost 70% of their value overnight. RR

First I was robbed of nearly everything two months ago, phone, documents, clothes, computer, etc., etc. Then I was in the hospital in Vicente Lopez for 10 days until Friday with pneumonia and while out of the ward, someone nabbed it. Still have the charger, but it doesn´t make calls! RR

I really need a cheap cell phone to use until I can afford a proper phone. I was robbed a while ago, then replaced my phone with a cheapie and it was stolen as well. I must have a target painted on my forehead. If anyone has an old phone they don´t need, please PM me. As long as it receives...

I found a much, much better site listing the many museums in this city. The city government´s web page is close to useless. http://www.welcomeargentina.com/museos/buenosaires_i.html And remember, most are free!!! Cheers, RR
