Lot has been said about the way we speak in Buenos Aires region and the whole Patagonia, I know we sound a little bit more intense than the regular Spanish from the rest of Latinoamerica but we have other cultural and linguistic influences as well. When I first started teaching Spanish<\/strong> I couldnt believe that almost everybody was telling me that we were italians speaking with the italian music in our accent but in another language, in Spanish,<\/strong> I was shocked, but it made sense when I started learning about the language we speak in Argentina and I have come across some linguistics studies that had proven that our argentinean accent in Spanish <\/strong>came from the Naples inmigrants who arrived during the first world war mainly and that their slang had a tremendous influence in our slang. Words like Birra<\/em> which means beer are used in Buenos Aires as synonyms and you can hear them everywhere and not even talking about the word negocio,<\/em> an italian word to designate shop or store. In most of the Latin American countries, tienda is the word to describe a store or a shop, but in Argentina, in the whole country, the word is negocio.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

More info about it?, of course, give me some days, to be continue…..<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The other day I was standing in the corner of one of the most important streets in Buenos Aires, Santa fe and Callao and I realized about people were at 8pm ish smashing their pans, the ones they cook with actually. The sound was loud and there were young people, older, middle class and all of them were angry!. That was part of a protest for what we consider in Argentina restrictive economic measures from the goverment. Technically in the name of the nation, we shouldnt save in usd dollars as it not nationalist, we should explain why do we travel abroad if we do and if you have a field somewhere in the country, you should suffer of new tax adjusted to what the argentinean goverment consider proper, fair and convenient. the truch is that if you have a very small field somewhere in the vast argentinean territory or if you are a middle size producer, you will equally suffer from this.<\/p>\n

People are angry, offended, showing biilboards like \u00abNo queremos ser Venezuela\u00bb (we dont want to be like Venezuela) or \u00abParen de robarnos\u00bb (stop robbing from us!). People not only get angry because of the economic restrictions but also claim for \u00abSeguridad\u00bb (security, safety). The increase the crime rate is very important, people get killed for a car, a bicycle or a wallet. \u00ab\u00a1Basta de inseguridad!, \u00a1cuiden a nuestros hijos! (stop insecurity, take care of your children!). Spanish phrases are all over these protests, look at this link from La Naci\u00f3n newspaper where you will find photos and videos:<\/p>\n
