    Education What apps do you use to learn or improve your Spanish?

    It's incredible how he even uses Argentine expressions. The worst part is that I think what he says about the "yankees", his fellow countrymen, is mostly true. Living here really broadens your perspective. What he says makes you see Americans as kind of strange. He even mentioned feeling a bit...
