I'm in a similar position. I studied Spanish for years, but I stopped for a few years and forgot a lot. I just started working with a tutor who seems great so far. She explains the grammar really well, and she's also really good for practicing conversation. I can PM you her contact...

Thanks for all of the responses! The position has been filled.

I'd join a book club as well! What kinds of things do you like to read?

I am aware of the visa requirement. Thanks for the responses! And we are looking at flights with Pluna via Montevideo. Roundtrip for $175 US (not including visa fee, of course).

My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Iguazu, and it looks like we'll be flying into and out of the Brazilian airport there. Has anyone had any (preferably recent) experience getting a new 90 day stamp when flying into Argentina from Brazil or another country? We haven't overstayed, we did...

Is it possible to take (or audit) courses at any of the universities here without enrolling in a degree program? I'd love to take a Latin American literature class, but I can't find any information about enrolling in just one course.

Hi Tim, Thanks for your response! You can e-mail me at [email protected]. Lauren

I just joined Always Club at Paraguay 4439: http://alwaysclub.com.ar/ It's not nearly as expensive as Megatlon, but it's more expensive than the smaller gyms with few classes. They have a lot of different classes, including yoga and "pilates cama." Pilates reformer costs extra. I haven't...

I'm looking for someone to replace me as a tutor for a wonderful family in Belgrano. The students, a 9th grader and a 6th grader, are fluent in English and attend an English/bilingual school in BA. The 9th grader needs help with her homework (often with analyzing literature and writing)...

I flew into EZE on a one-way ticket from Boston with no problem. I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that the airline employee who checks you into your flight is responsible to check for onward travel. I was told that if you make it past check-in, you're all set.

I'd like to meet up on Wednesday! Let me know when and where.

If any under 25s want to get together to drink and talk about wine, I'd still be interested. Over 25s are welcome too!

Sorry to hear about the two scams in four days! I've rented two short-term apartments here. The first was in Recoleta through bytargentina.com. It's a little more expensive to go through an agency, but the owner of the apartment ended up trying to get more money out of us, so we were really...

I'm guessing I'd be on the younger and less experienced side of the spectrum here, but I really would love to learn about great wine. If you don't mind having a novice around, I'll do my best to keep up!

I don't know a lot about wine, but I'd love to join this group to learn more! Lauren

I'm renting an apartment in Palermo and the wifi hasn't worked since we got here (over a month ago). I tried calling Telecom, but my Spanish is not nearly good enough to communicate with their technicians over the phone. My very sweet duena tried to help, but she doesn't know much about...

I've found that most of the locutorios don't have a scanner (that works, anyway). I was able to scan at two printing shops in microcentro. If you walk around, there are tons of little shops that advertise photocopying, scanning, graphics, etc. I had the scanned documents sent to my e-mail...

My boyfriend's mom sent us a package for Christmas that finally got to us last week. She used DHL and was able to figure out that the box had made it to Argentina using the tracking number. They claim they came by twice to drop it off, but they didn't leave any indication that they had been...

I have a few books that I'd like to trade as well. I have a Best of the Lonely Planet Travel Writing (2010 I think) and Elizabeth Gilbert's Pilgrims. Any interest?

A few of us are talking about getting a drink on Wednesday night around 8:30. Anyone who wants to join, send me a PM!
