Interesting comments here. I am an English speaking North American living in Argentina and I have lots of local Argentine and expat friends. We speak English and Spanish depending on the time and place. I find it interesting that so many foreigners move here and surround themselves with people from where they came, even to the point that they advertise and/or look for this type of group. What's the point of moving here.I say, immerse yourself in the culture and jump into the pool of local culture and customs through interactions with the local Argentine. Running around with groups of English speaking expatriots and hanging out in expat bars hardly qualifies for an Argentine experience.
