I would love any suggesions. Thank you

Re: Argentina
Hello Beth,
Sounds like we are in the "same boat" so to speak. I will be moving to Argentina in January, or so, to either find a job or start my Master's degree. I have lived there and the Spanish is very hard to learn but once you get a hold of their accent and use it daily, they will love you forever.We should definitely keep in touch as you make your trip plans.
At the moment I am teaching English in Lima, Perú and it has been difficult but a very interesting experience.
Have you ever been to Mendoza or will it be your first time?It's a very small city compared to Santiago, but it's beautiful. The mountains are close by and the people are very friendly. I would say it's worth living there for some time.
Other than that, it shouldn't be too hard to find a job there as an English teacher, but I have never tried it so don't completely trust my "words of wisdom."
Let me know what happens!

Re: Argentina
Hello,
My name is Frank, I'm an American living in Buenos Aires, and I have a suggestion for you regarding your post. I learned Spanish from a wonderful teacher here in Buenos Aires. [moderated: no free ads]
Hope that helps.
Have a wonderful day,
Frank
