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.

i spent 8 months in Argentina this year and when people asked me about it, I told people "it's like New York City if people were really warm and welcoming and invited you to play ⚽ with them". 

Argentinians have all been so incredible about being patient letting me practice my Spanish
