Spanish level after one year in Argentina? |
Travel Info Hello, I was hoping i could get some good answers. I have a job starting in Buenos Aires soon, lasting one year. I have studied spanish on and off for four years (2 years in school, 2 years evening classes). I consider myself decent level yet when i do online assessment tests i generally come out at intermediate(lower) level. Pretty dissapointing but there we go. My job will be only partly talking in spanish, in the office, needing enough to get by. Mostly i will be talking in english to british clients. However, i will be likely to have an argentinian girlfriend i have met out there before. After one year of living in buenos aires, with an ok standard to begin with, what sort of level do you imagine i will have by the end? in general i am fairly good with languages. Any advice welcome....! Travel Tips I am jealous! I no speaka enougha espanola! I am moving to Guatemala in just a few weeks and will need to know a lot more rather quickly. Unfortunately, I am a very slow learner... Sounds like you will do fine! Most people tell me they are proud of me for just trying to talk to them, and they think I am 'cute' when I mess up. And thanks, above, for the answer! I do use the accent properly, and I know tons of songs... I just don't know what most of them mean..... Others Thank you! I don麓t. You should have to write something or i have to listen to your spanish. I think you have already study a lot. if you can talk fluently, you are ready to everything. If you want to find some hotel, restaurant, travel agency, shoes, clothes and more in Buenos Aires and in Argentina see http://www.eventos.info You MUST continue to take classes, maybe an hour every morning. You will never get the proper grammar (especially verbs) right if you don't. Too many people think they'll just learn it through osmosis or something. You will advance so much quicker with formal training for the year. It's a small investment but well worth it. I took classes every weekday in Argentina for my first year and was reasonably fluent at the end. I know people who lived there for 5 years or more and could barely speak well because they thought they would just "learn it on the street", etc. Well... First of all, try to find a girlfriend who talks to you in Spanish...; if you fall in love with a girl who speaks English, she will probably talk to you in English many times, so you will learn more slowly. In one year, speaking everyday, you will be very good speaking "argentino". Maybe you will feel that if you try to talk with people from Spain, Colombia, or other countries, your Spanish is not so good for that... But that麓s because they speak a bit different from us.
