¿hablas ingles? Tu mensaje no tiene mucho sentido...no sé si hablas una otra idioma o solamente no sabes la gramatica de tu propia idioma....
"if you live here and want to speak argentinos" Que sigifica esta frase? Te recomiendo que tomes clases de ingles. Por favor, si no tienes consejos, no escribas nada.

Yes, I can be sassy in two languages.

It's been many years since I took a Spanish class here but I've heard great things about two private teachers: Tomas O'Dwyer (PM me for the email address) - who I know is about to go off travelling so probably won't be available for a few months - but definitely worth keeping in mind for the future, and Gisela Giunti...whose pupils rave about her. She's also mentioned in Lonely Planet/Time Out etc http://www.giselagiunti.com/
I have no idea how much either of these teachers charge but I don't think it is likely to be on the cheap end.

For alternatives to traditional classes, has anyone tried Spanglish? It's 25 pesos and includes a drink!

maybe you can find an 'intercambio' here: http://www.mundoanuncio.com.ar/categoria/intercambio_de_idiomas_34.html

or, i would suggest, going to many of the gringo/porteno bars (alot of these bars have a mix: http://www.whatsupbuenosaires.com/wuba2/index.php?tarea=hotlist&idSet=2 )

and just try to strike up conversations... i met a lot of people who just wanted to to meet gringos and practice english and were willing to do language exchanges.

Intercambios are a great way, its free and youll actually learn a lot by noticing the errors that spanish speaklers make in english.

These teachers are really good!: http://www.eniedespaniol.com.ar/
whenever i had questions that non-spanish teachers couldnt explain clearly, i would schedule a few seessions with them, now we are good friends. they are very professional and bring you into their community
of other spanish/english learners!

, i posted this earlier, but i was in the same situation, and found an intercambio. i made this website: http://www.faltamucho.com/

with all my notes, and i continue to add to it to keep me motivated to learn more... hope this helps. suerte!! eric
