    Private Spanish tutor for accent reduction

    i guess it depends on how good an ear one has. Every province I've been to so far had it's own, intonations certainly differ wildly by region even within one province. Even in BA province itself they speak differently, way less drawl than in BA. Certainly way less lunfardo use in most provinces...

    Private Spanish tutor for accent reduction

    actually if you mostly communicate with the natives, the slang does become natural, can't be helped...not so much the accent, but intonations might stick as well...certainly happens after a couple of weeks in Spain, you catch yourself talking the way Gallegos do :)

    Private Spanish tutor for accent reduction

    Don't waste your time and money. If you can't mimic or at least improve your accent by simply paying attention to how Rio Platense sounds, there is no chance any tutor will help. Native English speakers are the least likely ones to lose their accent in castellano, next only to asians. Your buddy...

    Merry Christmas to all Expats in Beautiful Argentina

    I am aware of that. the poster i replied to said 'drive'. By the time you get to/from the train stations on each end you''ll not save much time vs driving. On top of it train is expensive and way less convenient. So it's 6 hours either way from Marbella to Madrid.

    Fingers crossed you won't get stuck there for another 8 months after you will have finished with your arrangements...So you can get Moderna or Pfizer here as opposed to Sputnik V - if you opt to get a shot that is. Enjoy the summer break :)

    Merry Christmas to all Expats in Beautiful Argentina

    Madrid is a couple hours drive away? how do you cover 600 km in a couple of hours? And with radars on every turn on the highway.

    even if the flights are not cancelled, the poor kids will need a second PCR for the re-entry to argentina. Can you guys come up with some trick to justify not letting them go? The way Arg govt acts is so irrational, the rules might change a few dozen times between now and february. Last thing...

    Tourism open yet?

    i'd assume some might have not had the papers confirming direct family relatives in arg? other than that you only need a PCR and a declaration, right?

    that's great, then just relax and enjoy it. i understand that you miss your son, but with the 'no rhyme or reason' way argentine officials operate, it's better to wait till the restrictions are removed before you try another entry.
