Argentina is amazing when you have dollars
But to have any you need to sell all your organs 🤣🤣
Not at all
£1 = 240 ARS using blue rate.
I might move to Argentina. I'm deciding on Chile or Argentina.
I want to move to one of these countries and open a little store that sells basic goods if possible.
@@outlawgt3045 Awful idea, no offense.
I am Argentinean. I don't like to give kisses, and I don't give them. I manage to simply shake hands, which is not frowned upon. A person's attitude anticipates whether they will accept a kiss or not, and there are hardly any mistakes.
Cometrapo
Also Argentinians speak a Neapolitan-Italian mixture in their Spanish since in the early 1900s the country was flooded with Italian immigrants and they in turn started combining some of the Italian words with their Spanish and in turn developed a unique and beautiful accent that is very Argentinian
"We always had water and electricity" .....what was she expecting tho
Right?, listen, as an Argentinian i know that the country isn't exactly in the best economical situation but we aren't that bad
@@breakdancegoose1005 electricity may become an issue two or three times every summer tho
@@XoelFootball yeah mostly in the cities.
I think a lot of Americans (from the country USA) truly believe (out of ignorance) that everyone outside their borders still lives in the 19th century.
@@TelmaFrege hahhaha true, I feel like most of them live in a bubble
I am an Indian and after watching this video I want to visit this amazing country
Wait until the lockdown is over, maybe 5 years.

yes come please we love foreign people, if you want an advice (come with dollars) you life will be easier

See, I'm from Sri Lanka looking for a job in Argentina, how can you help, I am not so good in Spanish but speak fluent English
You explained everything perfectly! I'm impressed! Saludos :)
I loved her.. you will be wellcomed to Argentina always !! =)
She’s adorable.
I have a buddy from work he is from Argentina. Him his lady and kid are all really nice people, his accent is awesome too. He definitely felt like a good friend from day 1. Moving to Florida from California has been really nice getting to meet people that come to America and are mainly on this side of the country. Anyways I'd love to visit Argentina someday and so how it is over there and meet more people.
MUY BUENO QUE LINDO COMO HABLASTEIS DE ARGENTINA. VIVA ARGENTINA Y ESTA CHICA 🇦🇷
Buenos Aires is so hot and humid in summer like new york or Atlanta
Depende of the zone. Snowing In San Carlos of Bariloche, verte Cole un winter and little warm in Spring tome.
Can’t wait to visit .
She's so adorable!!
Soy Argentino

When she said "25 de mayo" she's lovely
The accent was perfect!
I think I'll love argentina
Never had Locro, I'm good with that. Love Humita
In Cuba, and Spain too everybody … kisses on the cheek …
It's not about Argentina, it's about a northerner coming to the South :)
Yes Argentina is like Arkansas or Mississippi
@@AugustinTomasOBrienCaceres how argentina is like arkansas or missipi?
@@georgecamblenjr5124 same weather, similar looks, similar people, talking about the Pampas area, the flatlands. Same crops
@@AugustinTomasOBrienCaceres ohhhh, pampas.....yeahhh......

45 degrees C is 113 F. And how adorable is she? Wow.
Expect the Southern Hemisphere to be hot in summer time... Just saying... Plus, the country stretches north from 55° latitude, so it can get pretty cold, frozen-over lakes and feet of snow in winter.... Just saying... It´s like going to New Mexico in July and claiming that the whole United States has a desert weather with over 100 degrees... How about Minnesota in February?
Exactly! Also... 45-50°C in Buenos Aires? Ehm.... NO.
@@Arctica88 It does not get that hot in Buenos Aires, which is on the coast. Overall, much of Argentina had a year-round pleasant climate.
The “castellano”part on your video: it is just a preference to call the language that way from colonial times, instead of español. But it doesn’t have to do with dialect or accent. Meaning, that’s not the reason they speak that way. Chilean people also like to say that they speak “castellano” and they have a different dialect from Argentines. Uruguayan people prefer to call it Español and they speak with similar dialect and accent as Argentines. I’m not a linguist but my husband is and he knows about the southern cone. Oh, and I’m from Uruguay. I served in Chile.
I’m sorry if this offends you but we, the people in Central America, find your accents very funny. But it may be because our accent is very bland (at least in the urban areas). Is it true that your accent isn’t as strong when you’re in a big city like Buenos Aires or is it just as noticeable?
Cecilia goodale.....castillan from spain is a dialect from the real,language: LATIN.......SO HISPANISH AS A LANGUAGE IN LATINA AMERICA IS ANOTHER DERIVATIVE NOT A LANGUAGE NEITHER
@Nixon E spanish isnt a language dude........the same come from LATIN, tje original.......spanish is a dialect
Ya sabemos pero no te vas a poner a enseñar historia latinoameriacana, calmate un poco
Not colonial it,s renasentista
All that food that you named her used to eat when I was a child that’s like Italian and German food and that’s score majority of the people are down there they’re Italian German and Spanish but God how I miss that food Americans don’t eat like that no more
First thing of Argentina make me wana go there
Ah yes, but you don't want to live here xD
Visiting is fine, but you're pockets would really suffer on the long run if you live here especially in a urban city
totally thruth
Me gusto = I liked it
Me gusta = I like it
This is how they speak:
Latin american spanish: Tu Eres
Argentinian Spanish/Castellian: Vos Sos
Colombia: Usted es

Argentine beef is legendary!
What makes it different? Curious
@@kennethestes4741 Cattle genetics and pasture feeding. You should try it and draw your conclusions
Qué chica más agradable 😄
"we always have water we always have electricity" with all the respect we are not africa. we are listening to a person its surprise she learnt to say "me gusta"--what could i expect....we normally learn the language of the country before we visit it
We live in the same houses because we can't afford to buy new ones... Or make new ones now...
well, that's the way of the world. I have been looking to make Argentina a part time home country but I am afraid, I can't transfer large amounts of money there without getting dinged by the exchange rate and taxes. in Argentina, to buy a house you need to use American dollars (even for Argentinians themselves) but banks don't give you enough dollars for a month. I would like to buy a house there but I am not sure how to transfer money to Argentina, as I have to send dollars and get pesos then exchange pesos back to dollars to make the purchase....that's just not sound fiscal policy. I love the people and the country.
@@seanou2837 Are you crazy or what? You can't do that... you lose half your money minimum. It is not a free country. There are ways but need to be channelled trough some financial tools needing some sophistication, if not done by a reputable specialized real state broker say bye bye. The country is on the verge of collapse to the worst crisis in history, of course that could open some opportunities but risk is too high. People and enterprises are fleeing. Businesses closing. Poverty rumping up to the sky. Inflation most high in the world. Basic goods soon be lacking.
@@yopatricio1391 ay, qué decís? Acá no falta nada, ni va a faltar nada. NO MIENTAS. Crisis hay por la pandemia, y por el desastre que dejó el tarado del presidente anterior, que sólo supo generar deuda externa y desempleo, aún así, no colapsamos, la gente no cayó muerta en al calle por el Covid y el país no va a colapsar, están abriendo muchos más negocios que los que cerraron con Macri. La economía mundial en general no está bien con la pandemia y la cuarentena afectó en todas partes.
@@seanou2837 you don't have to transfer money, and if you do that, the personan that changes dollars to pesos for you, will steal you the money. To buy a house, look for a decent and serious real state company that could advise you correctly how to do it. The houses and flats in american dollars is a really hard problem that the last military dictatorship let us and none of the ulterior governments changed.
Informate mejor: Durante los últimos 100 años, la tasa de inflación promedio fue de 105% anual, siendo el máximo histórico de 3079% en 1989.

Me da gracia leer los comentarios de como le sacan la mierda a argentina, económicamente hablando. No todo pasa por el dinero saben. Corrupción y bla bla bla. Es fácil encararlo por ese lado.en todo el mundo hay corrupción saben, en mayor o menor nivel, realmente no importa. Lo HAY. Ningún país se salva de ello. Tenemos muchísimas cosas únicas y hermosas. Realmente no saben nada de argentina.
Tal cual.
Vivo en Usa y los gringos no saben nada pero también millones de mexicanos no saben nada y lo poco que saben es que tienen " que destruirnos porque somos creídos" ese es el mensaje continuo que reciben vía Televisa y Teleazteca. Lo peor es que eso se ve en todo Latinoamérica ( brainwash) es como que les venden a los gringos y europeos que son los líderes de Latinoamérica y que todos los países son como ellos.
Los gringos cuando descubren Argentina, les cambia la cabeza para bien. Hace 70 años que van millones a vacacionar a Mex y por eso no cambian su postura, cuando van a Argentina flashean.
Saludos desde Usa!!
@@hombregris794 Gracias, amigo.
Saludos cordiales desde Neuquén capital, sur ARGENTINO.
@@hombregris794 Primero que nada, son yankees. Gringos son los alemanes de acá también, o los italianos del norte. SEGUNDO que sabes vos de Macedonia? Digo, porque te ofende que los mexicanos y yankees no sepan nada de Argentina, cuando es lógico porque no tienen nada en comun no estan cerca. Tercero, mejor que no venga ningún americano, a ver si dicen las mismas pavadas que esta chica.
@@obrosio2152 Gringos o americanos les dicen acá en Argentina.
El día que viajes al exterior y tengas que pagar por las burradas de los mexicanos te vas a dar cuenta. También te vas a dar cuenta cuando los mexicanos traten de rebajarte o intentar tratarte como a un centroamericano o a cualquiera que ellos ven como menos.
El día que seamos Nacionalistas e impongamos lo nuestro sin repetir discursos que no nos conviene, el país resurgirá.
La historia y la cultura de un país son importantes.
Love your Argentinian accent 2:37
Hi there , what's your name? Are you still in Argentina, would you be kind enough to find us or at least suggest how to find work ? Grasias
Omg. 3 million people in buenos aires proper and 13 million metro. NO Real estate market. I don't buy that. Sounds like her first trip anywhere.
There is a real estate market and it's a big one. Puerto madero is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods across South America.
Can’t hold to say pretty lovely girl 😍
Where do you live?
Hi How I can fly to Argentina
By plane
Hi tell me fact way
@@zuberkedir7124 where you come from, i am going to live in Buenos Aires next month. You need info.
The 1st problem is that large private and Central Banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as debt.
This eventually indebts the whole world, every person, every government.
2nd. Fractional banking allows these banks to create any amount, blowing massive bubbles and devaluation everyone's savings and work.
3. Fiat currency whether paper or digital has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a store of value.
Fix these and most of the world would be OK
Make Silver, Gold and copper your currency, by weight. These can't be printed to oblivion and have intrinsic value.
You mine these in Argentina, YOU DON'T NEED INTERNATIONAL DOLLARS AS DEBT. PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSES
Oh wow- always wondered what gnocchi and empanadas were... Oh my gosh, they kiss on the cheek?!? First time outside of the states, huh? :) *A.
Is funny what she said. People kiss on the cheek in many countries, nothing to be different than Argentinians. Hahaha!

im in argentina, its kindo a crappy plase rn, there are tos of crisis
She has to make the complaints part. Me: I can't hear the words Plata, Gente, Mierda, Dolar and Puta anymore. They say that all the time. I find them very materialistic and dishonest too when you cross the superficial level you mentioning which yes is good as you describe it.

"Me gusto`" (means, i liked it) past tense
one thing to point out is the tilde. If you say "me gusto" it means "i like myself", but if you add the tilde to the o : "me gustó", it means "I liked it" :D
@@bianoggero1349 I thought only ~ was called a tilde.

How is it living in a country that the currency is getting weaker and weaker
It's great if you work remotely and earn US dollars or Euros. I barely work.
That is everywhere in this time
I want her Instagram
I wouldn't recommend kisses in a pandemic.
Gnocchi is Italian
i've been living in argentina for over five years now and i can tell you that this place is continuing going down on every level and the people will continue going down with it. not a good place to come to, that's for sure.
Im from venezuela and I've been living here for 2 years already and I can feel and notice how everything is coming down, economically and socially. I think the culture and all of that y very beautiful of course, same as venezuela's and the other latin countries, but that doesnt mean is a good place to live
@@VeronicaRamirez-bg7py i agree. in the worse case scenario, i'm going to simply leave my woodworking business here and move elsewhere. to some other poor country with opportunities. thinking maybe Georgetown, Guyana. the only palce in south america where the official language is english. they found a huge petroleum deposits recently and their economy is booming now.
So they are acting like the US ehh a race to the bottom?

Argentina is the only majority white european influeced country that is a third world country nowdays.
Y Uruguay
try Spain and Portugal...and btw, from how the UK and the USA handled the covid crisis, I wouldn't exclude them from being third rate countries either.
you forgot Romania, Yugoslavia...and all the eastern block....maybe with a bit of education, you'll realize the whole of the EU is not that great after all.
Nope that’s the USA
@@seanou2837 true
What about crime? Doesn’t seem very safe in Buenos Aires?
Yes this is not really a balanced interview. I've never been there but I could tell you more than she did, at least about Buenos Aires anyway.
Outside Buenos Aires is pretty safe, and the city is a bit unsafer just make sure not to carry your phone in your hand while walking and youll be fine.
I think this experience would change if this was a Black man re-telling his experience in Argentina.
Who cares? Just stay in your country and you will be right.
Thank you for that banal comment.
ARGENTINA MOSTLY SPEAKS CON ACENTO HEBREO ! la doble L y la Y ESHOS ellos….
That's the norm for Hispanics. Is not just in Argentina it's every Latin country.

There is a lot of cussing on the mainstream, but my fiancé is not a cusser. He’s from the interior, small towns and I probably have more of a stink mouth than he does and I am an elementary educator. But, yes, many people cuss, regardless of gender. Coming from a MX background, I was surprised by the women’s language but truly admire their industrious and independent nature.
We are badmouth in that sense, but it ´s not so different to the US culture where the word Fxxx is in every show or song. It is actually unlikely that you hear swearing in songs but definately will hear them on TV or street.
I guess you're talking about Buenos Aires. the rest of the country is very different.
With all the respect, Argentina and Chile must remember that romanians colonised those 2 countries and gave their King Julius Popper!!! You must come back to your capital city Bucharest!!
Romania is perhaps the worst country in the world.
Yes, I can confirm, Argentina isn’t Canada.
And I'm glad it's not.😎😎Each country has its own charm and challenges and now the whole world is in a collective crisis on so many levels. I prefer the more emotionally open-affectionate lifestyle of many south American countries than the business life style of many North American big cities.😊
Poor Argwntinian people, the country is completely bankrupt.
Is it safe country please
