I am pleased to report we successfully used the BA subway (subte). It was incredibly easy the system is probably 1/6 the size of NYC. Regardless, our successful maneuvering allowed us to attend our first asada (BBQ) last night and I ate more bife than I have in the past three years. It was delicious and I am happy to be ending my vegatarianism. The party was full of ex-pats, many of whom were from NY-- LI to be exact. No matter how hard you try to get away, LI always has a way of creeping back in. However, we're grateful for the LIers because they had good tips on navigating the city. Soon enough we'll be purchasing cell phones and using the colectivos (buses) with ease. We also tried to get some advice on language schools- but people seemed to be split on how to advise us.
We've decided to enroll in Vamos Spanish for 10 weeks- it was clear from our language assesssment exam that we needed the most intensive option offered. The Director of the program seemed confident that after 10 weeks we would be able to speak Spanish- we shall see. However, I'd like to point out that there is no money back guarantee. After our 10 weeks we will tell you whether or not we recommend the program.

So glad you enjoying yourself. I am happy that there is a little bit of home there with the 2 of you. I was a little concerned that you would lose your LI accent so this makes me feel much better. Can't wait for the next udpate!
ReplyDeleteSi quieres aprender a hablar espanol tiene que mezclarte con los habitantes argentinos, hablar espanol con ellos todos los dias sin falta aunque te sientas frustrada y ansiosa al pirncipio. Poco a poco vas a aprender mas y despues de un rato todo se te hara mas facil. Por eso te estoy escribiendo en espanol para que te esfuerce tratando de averiguar lo que te estoy escribiendo. Favor de no enojarte conmigo estoy tratando de motivarte. :)
