"Antes de llegar a Argentina, me hubiera gustado saber si el español de España me serviría. Es que yo sabía hablar un poco de español de España, pero me habían dicho que en Argentina se usa el voseo ("vos"), que la conjugación de los verbos es diferente, etc. Al principio, me costaba entender lo que decía la gente porque el acento es muy diferente, así que era difícil captar palabras. Además, hay diferencias en el uso de verbos. Sin embargo, me parece que el español de España me sirvió como nivel básico.
Hace ocho
meses que vivo acá, por eso ya pude viajar por las cataratas
de Iguazú, por Salta, Mendoza... Si ustedes vienen a Argentina, les recomendaría
que visitaran Iguazú. El tour para pasar por debajo de las cataratas
fue muy emocionante. Casi toda la gente que fue a Iguazú me dijo que las
cataratas de Iguazú sería el lugar más emocionante. Sería el mejor
viaje para los turistas que les gusten ver naturaleza y hacer aventuras. Igual, es
muy interesante conocer otra provincia porque uno se puede dar cuenta de la diversidad
de gente, de los estilos de arquitectura, de los dialectos, etc.
En Argentina
hay muchas colectividades de Italia, Francia, Alemania, Japón,... Así que
se puede conocer cada cultura (bailes típicos y comidas de cada país).
También hay que probar comidas argentinas como por ejemplo el asado, el mate, el chorizo, etc. Todas son riquísimas. Se pueden conseguir en
el supermercado, así que vale la pena probarlas.
No voy a explayarme mucho más, aunque hay un montón de cosas de las que me pude dar cuenta en Argentina."
Before coming to Argentina, I would have liked to know if Spanish Spanish was going to be helpful. I knew a little Spanish, but I was told in Argentina people use "vos", that verbs are conjugated differently, etc. At the very beginning it was hard to understand what people were saying because of their accent, so it was hard to figure out some words. In addition, there are differences in the choice/use of verbs. However, I think that knowing Spanish from Spain helped me because it gave me a basic knowledge of the language.
I've been living here for eight months now, so I've already been to Iguazú, Salta, Mendoza,... If you ever come to Argentina, I recommend visiting Iguazú. You can take a tour on the water and see the waterfalls from below... That was very exciting. Almost everyone who had been to Iguazú told me that it was going to be the most exciting place ever. It would be the best trip to tourists who enjoy nature and going on adventures. It is also very interesting because you get to know another province, so you meet different people, see different styles of architecture and listen to different dialects.
In Argentina, there are many communities from Italy, France, Germany, Japan, etc. So you can get to know their culture (traditional dances and food). You should also try Argentinian food, like asado, mate, chorizo,... They're all delicious! You can easily find them at the supermarket, so it's worth trying them.
I will stop writing here, but there are definitely a lot of things more that I got to know and understood once I arrived in Argentina.
