    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    Somehow Starbucks manages to maintain pretty much consistent taste of "latte with heavy cream" across the US. I'm failing to get anything like that in Argentina. I know I should buy my own espresso machine but that's still in the future.

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    Starbucks definitely tastes differently (and not for the better) compared to the US. I usually order "latte with heavy cream" in the US. And "latte con crema" here in Buenos Aires tastes nothing like what I get in the US.

    How to learn Spanish?

    What happens to a permanent residency when you leave for good?

    How to learn Spanish?

    From my experience of learning American English (and immigrating to the US) every level of mastery of language calls for its own method that is better suited to this particular level. At some level one should memorize dictionary words in frequency order. At some level one should read Kindle...
