really enjoyed the street interviews and the varying opinions. I hope to visit Buenos Aires some day and seeing these interviews makes it seem very inviting. I agree with the Russian and American couples about making the effort to learn a bit of Spanish out of respect.

Hi Glen! Yes, I am actually very glad the the few tourists/foreigners that I was able to interview felt as welcomed as I have felt ever since I moved to Argentina, I hope that whenever you do visit you also get to feel just as welcomed!

I love the new format, very solid work Sabrina!

Loved this format, I really appreciated the different opinions of all the members of the public you interviewed. I love the breakdown you gave about their personalities and “arrogance” which I’m still learning for myself 2 years into a relationship with an Argentine here in the UK. He came here very much an Anglophile and I’m discovering more and more how much I love his country in return so thank you for your content Sabrina!

The question is not because Argentines do not speak English, but because you do not speak Spanish, at least. Not to mention Castellano, which is what we Argentines speak, who are also Americans.

Thank you for sharing those different point of views :) As you I have a plane to move to Argentina (buenos aries maybe) (i am from brazil) You are Calm and articulate very well in your videos. (perhaps a nice topic for another video lol) how to be articulate :) I'd like to know about what kind of book did you read ? (book advices lol)

​@@sabrinahuyke I don't know why but i think my comment was deleted. I bought The Golden Enclaves but, jesus this book has a different vocabulary lol( ok it's a fantasy book) Do you have a list of yours, or some of them? thx. btw i send you a message on instagram :)

When I was about six years old, I visited Bariloche with my parents and encountered some tourists from Canada. Although I didn’t speak a word of English, I loved the way the language sounded, so I decided to study it. I believe that people in Argentina who claim to hate the language don't truly hate it. They simply don’t see any practical applications for it, especially since we live so far from the rest of the world. If you live in the south of the country in a small town, you rarely come across foreigners. Moreover, the younger generations have already forgotten about the war with the UK, so that isn’t a factor. Most Argentinians are shy and afraid of making fools of themselves by speaking a language poorly. It is a fear of failure. Learning English isn’t expensive nowadays, and it is a relatively easy language to learn. All you need is time, the willingness to learn, and an internet connection.

Hi Andrea! I think you would be surprised, when I worked as an English teacher I used to teach students for international companies who actually needed to use the language and they just hated the idea of having to study it for many different reasons, even if they were actually good at it. And when it comes to my younger students, I did see a very strong sense of patriotism that brought to conversation topics you might not expect! But you are right that Argentina is pretty far from the rest of the world and might not see much interaction with foreigners or things like that, and I can relate to the fear of failure being a factor!

Hi, Sabrina! Once again, you did a great job with this video. It was very interesting to hear both Argentinians and foreigners give their perspective on the necessity of speaking Spanish if deciding to visit or live there. I think you're totally right about it also depending on the area, and it's also 100% true that your ability to learn another language largely depends on how much money you have. I also liked your insights into the society as well. Thanks for another great video--you are well on your way to making this your job. Honestly, I thought that you would be awesome at being a bilingual consultant for people who are looking to move to Buenos Aires. As someone who speaks both languages, and knows what it's like to be new to the country, your perspective is extremely unique.

Can you get by without Spanish in a government office, filing documents? Or doing business, ordering products and arranging payment and contracts?

@sabrinahuyke

Doing all of those activities in a government office? I am not sure cause I have never worked in a government office, but my instinct would be to say no!

I would learn Spanish if I moved to Argentina. I speak a little. My wife is fluent.

English is quite easy because of less conjugation and everything can be a verb. The spelling, though. Do you realize there is no spelling bee contest in most of the other languages? It doesn't make any sense.

@sabrinahuyke

I had never thought about the fact that other languages don't have spelling bees! But for real no other languages? I could guess that at least German has something similar, what little German words I know also have pretty weird spelling!

I'm an old US citizen - intrigued by Argentina - know no Spanish but am curious about their 'culture' and attitude toward the US - given they seem to love our USD's ? -- We speak English but it's nothing like England ! -- Are there retired US expats living there happily and cheaply (?) or are they being exploited and used by the locals (?) perceived as rich like in the Philippines and often charged more ? -- Cost of living is a bit lower than Cuenca Ecuador where many Americans are retired - than in BA. -- I can't seem to find any older people's vlogs by elderly expats around Argentina anywhere ? -- -- -- I'm enjoying your content.

what you didn't mention is the biggest point, that native argentinians mention that they are discriminated and told that they are not "argentine" even when they were there first. Idk about that since ive never been but i wanna know the truth
