    One of my Spanish teachers in high school was Argentinian, so I learned that the ll is pronounced a bit differently as compared to many other Central/South American forms of Spanish, not a more pure y as a consonant sound, but sort of… zhy…?

    Not sure how to represent it textually, but I’ve found that these and other regional differences can be a fun point to banter about when getting to know native Spanish speakers.

    I would love to be able to visit, or maybe even live in Patagonia someday. Similar climate to where I grew up, absolutely beautiful country.

    (Obviously I would need to brush up on my Spanish a bit first… It has always astounded me that many or most Americans just expect to be understood in English no matter where they go…)
