New Bilingual Dictionary (Span-Eng) of Argentine Regionalisms

[JoeBlow]

Hello,

It is my pleasure to annouce that I have recently published the bilingual dictionary of Argentine Spainish regionalisms that I worked on for over 15 years. It contains over 2,400 entries, aproximately 66% of which are not in the Oxford Spanish-English Dictionary. If you are studying Spanish in Argentina, or if you are an Argentine studying English, this is the dictionary for you! If I can answer any questions about it, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Thank you,
Joseph Persico

Hello, it is available on Amazon for download ($17.99 U.S.), and in bookstores in Argentina that carry Editorial Océano books.
