What is fluency? What is proficiency? What is native-level? What is your comfort threshold? There is no strict definition. In Europe we have a framework of reference for languages to assess how much we can ‘function’ in another language. The highest level is C2, corresponding to ‘Mastery or...

È arrivato quello che si crede più furbo di tutti. I subscribe what others have said. Do not ship any electronics to Argentina. Full stop. Have a friend bring it over or buy a new one here and resell it before leaving. As for neighboring countries, the price to ship the notebook and go collect...

I have never been made fun of in my presence, but it happens quite frequently that random people panic because they can obviously see that I am a foreigner, so they assume I can't speak Spanish and no matter how good my Spanish is, they *think* they cannot understand me. It happens often in...

I don't know where the steel of the screw was from, but the crown he does it in his lab at his office. That's what he told me.

I wrote final price everything included. So yes, it included the abutment and the crown. And I asked him to use the best quality possible as money was not an issue. This was at the end of 2016, so the price might have increased by now.

I can only praise Dr. Pelcman's work. I had a root canal done between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017. Initially I went to my health insurance's dental emergency clinic because I had an infection, but I wasn't too convinced by that place. Extractions and implants prices were cheaper...

I know one excellent PM which I used to rent out mine. Reliable, speaks 4 languages, on time, great communication. He owns a small agency with a team of 3 covering 24/7, they manage 15 properties.

It is not possible, but you can use skype or google hangout to call regular numbers for a very small fee.

No politics discussion there. Pretty boring. Lost in posts about English-speaking haridressers and do uber work in BsAs. Look better!

Quality of life involves certain very subjective parameters, so it is understandable that some of us still like living here, despite the rising costs. In my case -- and here I am just speaking personally -- to have within a walking distance many ethnic places, a thriving expat community, nice...

It will applies only for phone released in 2018 after the measure comes into force, so not for older phones. The USD300 threshold applies to all purchases abroad, not just electronics. I would assume that if you declare a phone they would likely look for something else, as well (clothes...

I read somewhere (most likely on La Nación) that the batteries were German batteries, and the only thing that was not replaced was the battery case. Everything else was replaced. But the works were badly executed, they had 351 days of delay and the battery warranty expired in the meanwhile...

I do not know about submarines but major overhauls do not take two years of planning. They take take a lot more: you need budget first and foremost, and then the planning takes place, and then the overhaul occurs. In my sector these things were planned at the time of buying the machines. With...

1 in 5 posts I write get plocked by forum filters. It gets frustrating pretty quickly. No post gets unplocked. No 'contact padmin' in sight. Expats have moved to other shores, but of course I cannot disclose where because posts containing plinks to 'competitors' are automatically pfiltered AND...

I have sent you a PM!

You cannot defuse him. He's the ultimate gobbledygator!

As a spouse of an Argentine born citizen you can apply for citizenship right away, without the 2 years wait.

That's interesting. Are you in Comuna 14, as well? We saw people leaving boxes next to the big trash collection bins, so we left ours as well, but then an angry neighbor took them and put them into the generic big trash collection bin yelling at us. We have also yellow bins (though on the same...

PSA is like a pyramid scheme and they make you change filters very often. I have installed a filter from a German guy and I am very happy with the results. Before it was impossible to drink tap water. It is a double filter system using activated carbon and a special filter to remove heavy...

You'll likely spend the day making siesta because of the heat! Personally, I would go there on spring or autumn. I went in May which is low touristic season, it was cheap, not much people around, warm during day and cold at night.
