ARGENTINE SPANISH DICTIONARY

23 Jul

Languages, like all human products, are subjected to changes overtime. And when a language such as Spanish, in view of its eventful and long history [...] has come to be a thousand years there will inevitably be differences manifesting along and across the broad geography in which it settled.

José Luis Moure
University of Buenos Aires - CONICET - Academia Argentina de Letras

Unlike many dictionaries of Argentinismos (that suggest the idea of a fixed inventory of Spanish words to which one could attach an “expansion pack” of Argentinian slang) this dictionary presents Spanish as it was constituted by the Argentine standard. It includes words shared by other Spanish speaker countries excluding those ones exclusive of other dialects. The different meanings of the words are ordered according to the frequency of use in Argentina.

It´s an essential tool for all those who are living here or who would like to adopt our variety. To start using it click on the link below:

¿FALTA MUCHO? by Eric Strenger

25 Apr

“In 2007 I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina to learn Spanish.
Faltamucho.com is a collection of my notes, translations,
conversations, songs and more.
I am still learning.
This website is for me.
I continue to update it as I learn…
Much further? you ask. Yes, I say.” Eric Stranger
