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.

That's such a great experience! It’s amazing how supportive they are, making it easier to learn and build confidence. More countries adopting this kind of patience would definitely make language learning more enjoyable!
