Dear Readers: I have recently improved and updated this book! I hope you enjoy it!This book is intended to be a basic introduction to Spanish as it's spoken in Argentina (and likely also in Uruguay). The grammar of Argentine Spanish is essentially the same as in standard Latin American Spanish; the main difference being the use of the pronoun "vos". For that reason I have provided the verb forms as they correspond to that pronoun (rather than the pronoun "tú" of Standard Spanish), since Argentines rarely use the pronoun tú, even though they certainly understand it. I've also included a chapter that explains the "voseo" more in detail, as well as a chapter that talks about pronunciation and vocabulary differences in Argentine Spanish when compared to Standard Spanish.PLEASE NOTE: This book is NOT a book on Argentine slang (although it may contain a few slang words). For those, interesed in slang words (Argentine slang is commonly referred to as "lunfardo"), I recommend looking for a book or article specifically on that topic.This book contains a pronuncation guide, phrases useful in daily life, important vocabulary and basic grammar. It does not contain audio cds, photos or tourist information.

In defiance of the brutal military government that took power in Uruguay in the 1970s, and under which homosexuality is a dangerous transgression, five women miraculously find one another—and, together, an isolated cape that they claim as their own. Over the next thirty-five years, they travel back and forth from this secret sanctuary, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow or alone. Throughout it all, they will be tested repeatedly—by their families, lovers, society, and one another—as they fight to live authentic lives. A groundbreaking, genre-defining work, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit.

Argentina is a South American country known for its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and thriving economy. It is the eighth-largest country in the world and the second-largest in South America. With a population of around 45 million people, Argentina is home to a mix of indigenous communities, European immigrants, and descendants of African slaves. Argentina has a varied landscape, with the Andes mountain range to the west, the Pampas region - fertile grasslands - in the central part of the country, and the Atlantic coastline on the east. It is also home to several natural wonders, including the Iguazu Falls and the Perito Moreno glacier. Buenos Aires, the capital city, is known for its vibrant culture and iconic landmarks such as the Obelisk, the Teatro Colon, and the Casa Rosada - the presidential palace. Argentina's economy is driven by agriculture, with crops such as soybeans, wheat, and corn being major exports. Other significant industries include mining, manufacturing, and tourism.
