I love how friendly people in Argentina are to noobs trying to learn Spanish.

If they notice that you "habla un poco" they speak more slowly, use individual English words as needed if you don't understand, but don't just give up and use English for the whole conversation.

I wish people in more countries did this.

My Spanish in Honduras is terrible, where no one even tries to understand me or slow down.

My Spanish this his summer in Categena, Colombia was pretty good! They are used to people trying and in that kind of environment, my Spanish is pretty good.

My Spanish in Miami is excellent where I can just slip in English words, ie Spanglish, and it’s totally normal and everyone know what you are saying.
