Hm. Well, for one I can say nobody I know has really had an interest (or if they did, hadn't bothered to inquire). I had to explain the situation to my dad the other day since it'll have some baring on a very remote topic we discussed. Took about three paragraphs to get the point across, but...

Ah, this is a great approach! I've been tutoring a couple people here in Neuquén Capital using the same method with fantastic results. We started off with schollarly material, which diddn't go over too well, but as soon as we switched to casual chit-chat about topics the students were personally...

One thing that worked really well for me was to use Duolingo, so I'd like to recommend it. (Seems it's been mentioned on other threads, but not here yet.) Anyway, the gamification of learning makes things easier for me, and it looks like those same problems are very common, so it might work for...

Ah, thanks for answering, Queso! I probably should have searched a bit harder for existing posts on that, but didn't know what the name of that loan/layaway plan was so I must have missed it. Thanks for the info!! Man, that does definitely sound scammy. Thanks so much for the heads up. Y'all...

Wow, thanks so much for all the insight, guys! Those links are pefect, thanks so much! That PDF is exactly what I was looking for. :D Very good points about finding spare parts. I've been a Honda Civic enthusiast for some time because you can find them in any wrecking yard across the US and the...

Probably not, but just thought I would check. I'm still pretty new here, and my boyfriend who's lived here all his life has never had a car or let alone a license, so we're relying on my knowledge while searching for a car. (His family also hasn't bought any cars in the past 3 decades, so we...

Oh, it said that on the customs page when I was filing my Reciprocity Fee and such. It also said it on the Customs form they handed out when we were entering Argentine airspace before landing. I'll look into it some more since many of y'all are saying 10,000 USD is the actual limit. I'll report...

Oooh! Odesk! I completely forgot about that site. I never actually got around to using it. That's a fantastic idea!! I'll check out Elance, too. Haven't heard of that one. :) Thanks!

Ahh! A fellow Texan! (Though, I've only been here a year, but that still counts, right? hehe) :D Yep, I've heard of Waco, but never had a chance to pass through. I know that TSTC is up there, and I was researching it a while back because of their Aviation courses. I've heard there's not much to...

Thanks! I've gone ahead and made a Linked In profile to check the BA area for IT work, but like you said, they all seem to require Spanish-speaking reps. It really is a bit of a pickle, since I wanted to learn Spanish there, but it seems like I might have to just stick it out in the States and...

Thanks, guys. I now have a much better understanding of the Buenos Aires public transit system. In any case, let's get back to the main topic. :)

Yep, my point exactly. Sorry, I should have phrased it differently earlier. That's the contrast I meant, sorry for the confusion. I'm sure its peanuts for those who make a livable wage in BA.

Thanks, Lauren! I hadn't heard that institutes were so harsh, thanks for the heads up! Yes, I agree, it definitely does sound like there market there is innundated with English tutors. One other person aside from yourself told me that IT would be a better bet. I've also read that employers there...

Oh, one thing I found out a while ago and thought to mention just now: until you renounce US citizenship (or otherwise have it revoked by some forcable means), they will keep it valid so that they can continue to collect on taxes. Even if you're nolonger living there and make no money off of the...

Thanks, Sican! I wasn't aware at how costly the public transit was there. That's a problem, yes. Sorry, you two, I didn't mean any insult by asking. Most of the info on this site is a year or more old, and a lot has changed in just this past year alone. I'm sure the vulture profitire's recent...

I hope this isn't a hotbutton issue, but I was hoping to get a general consensus from anyones' experiences with the job market in Argentina for foreigners who teach English while they acclimate to the culture and language. For reference, I'm a 24 year old female from the USA and want to study...

The video is so cute! I really do like the idea of teaching through websites like that, it helps to make a daily part of life more immersive. Cool idea, guys!

Hey, guys! :D Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Cari, from the USA. I've been lurking for a bit, and researching various means to work in Argentina while studying Spanish through an immersion course. I've wanted to try doing this for some time, but felt like I had too many obligations here...
