Argento Podcast | Learn Argentinian Spanish

In this video I explain you the SARCASTIC side of Argentinian people. We are very sarcastic people in all contexts, so this is something super important you must learn!

The Gauchito Gil is a kind of Argentinian Saint that lived 200 years ago. In today's episode, we will find out what's the origin, traditions and why he is everywhere in Argentina.

The first thing you need to know about nightlife in Argentina is that Argentinians are, by nature, night owls. 90% of Argentinians are night people — that is, we love the night and spend most of our time during nighttime. It’s very common for all Argentinians to meet up at night. Everyone gets together at night — for example, between 9 PM and midnight, sometimes even later depending on whether it's a party or not. People meet up to celebrate, hang out (or as we say here, boludear), catch up with friends, chat, have a bite to eat, etc. Find out more in today's episode!

In this episode, you will learn everything about Argentinian insults! Our culture and some insults!

IN this EPISODE, I am going to talk to you about the close relationship between Argentine Spanish and Italian. You will learn the history between Argentina and Italy and the origin of many common words in our “lunfardo”.

In this episode I talk about all different types of greetings in Argentina, cultural aspects within our greetings and some anecdotes that I had with foreigner students in Argentina.

In this episode, I slow things down and speak Argentine Spanish in a super clear way to help you understand. I break down two key aspects of our Spanish: the unique pronunciation of y and ll (which sound like “sh”) and the heavy use of lunfardo, our slang that mixes Spanish, Italian, and indigenous words.

I also share what I love most about Argentina—our flexibility and amazing food. Here, making spontaneous plans with friends is completely normal, and you’ll never have to schedule things too far in advance. I also talk about my two favorite things: mate, the drink we take everywhere, and asado, our legendary barbecue. My favorite cut? Lomo—a delicious and affordable piece of beef that you have to try.

This episode is full of cultural insights, and if you want to not only learn Spanish but also live the Argentine experience, this is for you. If you found this video challenging, that just means you need to practice more!

In this episode of Argento Podcast, we explore one of the most ingrained customs in Argentine culture: unpunctuality. With a relaxed and authentic tone, we describe how in Argentina being late for meetings and gatherings is something completely normal, and even expected.

The episode not only explains this phenomenon, but also offers practical advice on how to deal with it, such as bringing the time of the invitation forward to make sure friends arrive on time. It also compares these customs with other Latin American countries, highlighting similarities in places like Mexico and Colombia.
