Very good. Congratulations my friend, very good job in desciphering the "argentinian" spanish.
But two things: first, the s is never pronounced as an "h", except for some people that we say "they eat the s". The lack of pronunciation of letter s has it's explaniaton in the next paragraph. Uneducated people tend to speak "comiendose las s" as you mentioned.
The second, the original name of the language is Castellano, everybody used to call it Castellano, not only argentinian people, isa little more complicated this topic.
And last, made me laugh a lot this comment "Note: Because of television and films, Argentines are used to non-Argentine Spanish, and you will be understood if you retain your pronunciation and vocabulary. However, you'll need to understand Argentine Spanish, and you'll also seem like less of an outsider if you try to modify your own speech to a more Argentine variety." MY GOD, YOU ARE SOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!
Greetings my friend.
Who knows... Yeah, I have thought about that more and more recently. I love working in the language lab as a Span tutor. I love the grammatical aspects of the language, I just have a problem speaking it.
P.S. - I do hope to get a Masters in Special Ed. and after that, I wanna get certified to teach Spanish too :D

Differences in Classes I am so glad you are experiencing college in a totally different format. It is interesting that there are frustrating components in both venues and positive components in both formats. You will have more understanding and empathy for international students at GCSU.
Here's the rundown:
The name's Micky. Yeah, I know, it's a cool name, right?! Let's see, I'm 21 years old and grew up a small town GA boi. Anyhow, for goin' on my 4th year now, I've chosen residence in Milledgeville at GC&SU. What else? OH, I'm a fun loving guy who's all about the social aspects of life. So yeah, in general I am a bit on the loud/silly/outgoing side and tend to wind up the center of attention. What can I say, I like to make people smile/happy/appreciate life. I mean, life's too short to go through unnoticed, right?! ;)
I'm a very REAL kinda guy. I really don't see the p... full info
