Learn Argentine Spanish in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires speaks Rioplatense Spanish: vos instead of tú (vos tenés, vos sos), ll and y said like “sh”, and che, dale and re in every other sentence. You'll ride the colectivo and the subte.
In Solvelingua you move to Buenos Aires, find a home in San Telmo, and learn Argentine Spanish the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
