Four of my coworkers are recent immigrants from Argentina and love drinking matte'. I love the slow pace of their conversation and speech.
My dad went on his mission there. While there he also learned to speak Italian and Portugese (he now speaks seven and is trying to learn gailic).
In South Korea, I used to purchase Argentine beef as often as possible because the flavor was superior to all varieties except Kobe beef which I couldn't afford anyway.

Dh served his mission in Argentina during the Falklands War. I know that the "ll" is pronounced "zh" instead of the usual "y" sound (for instance tortilla=torteezha). There's an area that serves grapes in and with everything. It's hard to keep the bugs out of chocolate (or it was 20 years ago).
I'll have to pick his brain some more.

Hahaha I am surprised you spell it "MATTE" with double T!
Boromir..Tell your dad I admire him! I wish I could speak as many languages as he does!
Thanks for posting! You know more than me! LOL
Abraham: Salta is a province located in the north of the country. It's very hot during the day and very cold at night. As Argentina is a looong country, we have a subtropical humid climate in the northern provinces and a very cold and dry climate in the southern ones.
Regards!

Argentina is bordered by Paraguay and Bolivia in the north, Brazil and Uruguay in the northeast, and Chile in the west and south.
Kind regards!

Glad you like the music. Do you like tango?
Thanks, Mailis!
