The encuentros website has documentaries on Argentine history. You can also get the shows with subtitles in Spanish (so you're listening and Spanish and reading in Spanish at the same time which is great if you're learning Spanish...

Anyone here from the U.S. that has let their U.S. (in my case California) license expire and had any unexpected, negative consequences? I'm in Argentina for the long term, but do make frequent visits back to the U.S. and drive a lot there. I figure I can drive on my Argentina license when I'm...

She's 9 years old, and we are located in Palermo on Libertador and Colonel Diaz is a near cross street. My daughter speaks both Spanish and English, so it's fine if the teacher is native Spanish speaking and prefers to speak Spanish (English of course is fine too.) If you think your friend...

I've taught my daughter everything I know on piano, and now that she knows how to open the keyboard cover and sit down, she's now ready for a teacher! Anyone have someone they can recommend or a place where I might be able to find one (like a conservatory in BA). Any help is much appreciated...

airbnb is a site that has a lot of options and you can search by neighborhood within CABA. It's also easy to rent on a short term basis, including on a monthly basis. I've used the service myself while traveling, and have just listed a place that I am renting on a short-term basis. I'm not sure...

I'm looking to furnish a studio apartment in Palermo Hollywood. It's a short term rental -- got such good advice on where to advertise it on a previous post, I'm going to the BAexpats well again! Any suggestions on good furniture places, ideally with good prices. Looking for furniture that's...

Looking for advice. I own a recently built studio apartment in Palermo Hollywood. I would like to rent it out as a short-term rental for anywhere from days to months, most likely to people traveling from English speaking-countries to Buenos Aires for short stays e.g. to study Spanish, learning...

kwarlarking, sorry I didn't reply sooner, but yes, she has worked with groups and I believe she is looking to form a new group.

If any one is studying for the written driver test and wants to take it in Spanish, I have created flashcards on quizlet.com. The flashcards have the questions on one side, and the answers on the others. You can find it by searching Buenos Aires City Driver's Test. By the way, I've found...

I'd have a great Spanish teacher that I've been working with the past three months, and has helped me a great deal. I've lived in Argentina almost two years and have tried many avenues (UBA, language schools, other private lessons). Andrea has helped me a great deal get more comfortable speaking...

Does anyone have a garbage disposer in their kitchen sink? Are those used in BA? I haven't noticed them and certainly would make cleanup easier... same thing with dishwashers...

I lucked out on this one. I do have a good friend who was a former translator and is now in my line of work (that knows the lingo) that is from BA and lived in the states for many years that was willing to do this for me gratis. So feel like I'm in good hands. Was surprised she was willing to do...
