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.

Understanding and supporting language learners is so important for building a welcoming and inclusive environment. It's great to hear about positive experiences like this in Argentina!
