You’re on the right path! Let’s keep taking small calculated steps to achieve your goals.
Here's What You Should Do
KEEP GOING AND TRUST THE PROCESS
Keep studying and practicing Argentine Spanish to open up cultural, personal and professional opportunities. Progress may be slow at times, but every effort counts. Try practicing daily, at least 15 minutes a day, and use the valuable resources I’m going to share with you. Don’t be discouraged by not understanding the accent or slang, as this is a natural part of the learning process. Keep persevering to upgrade from rising fluent speaker to Argentine gaucho in the making.
¡Ánimo! Después de todo, la práctica hace al maestro.
From Your Quiz Results I Know That

You’ve already learned some Argentine Spanish slang words and can put them in context. ¡Genial! However, you’re not quite where you’d like to be as a Spanish speaker. The slow progress is so discouraging, it might even make you think you just don’t have what it takes.
Nevertheless, your frustration is eclipsed by something far bigger… the goal that you’ve committed to achieving. And if you stay committed, you’ll be speaking like a true argento in no time.
You’re so close to becoming a confident Spanish speaker. Trust the process and more importantly, trust yourself. ¡Vos podés!

Learning Spanish is taking lots of your time and energy. Every study session feels like an intense cross-fit trainning that leaves your brain exhausted.
The truth is that becoming a fluent speaker is just as challenging as becoming the guy that lifts the heaviest barbell at the gym. Do you know that guy’s secret? Discipline. He’s showed up every day at the gym for a long time to get stronger until one day he overcame his biggest challenge. Successful language students are also disciplined and committed.
Dedicate time to improve your Spanish on a daily basis. Keep your goal in mind and never give up. ¡Dale, campeón(a)!

You tend to put pressure on yourself to understand everything that a native says.
When you fail to follow along, you feel embarrased to ask the speaker to repeat themselves. You wish you were able to just keep the conversation going.
Know that the solution to this problem starts with you. You’ll soon discover that putting all this pressure on yourself is actually stopping you from achieving your goal.
It’s time to shift your mindset. Start prioritizing communication over accuracy and you’ll be speaking confidently in un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

Turn your daily commute into a language learning opportunity with my Spanish podcast.
Millions of language students around the world turn to Podcasts to improve their listening skills. It is a convenient way of learning because you can listen to it anywhere and anytime you want.
With Easy Argentine Spanish’s educational Podcast, you can:

Step 4 (Optional): Use 'VOS' Like a True Porteño
In Argentine Spanish ‘vos’ is the main pronoun used by natives, who don’t use the form “tú”. If your goal is to speak like a native Argentinian, go ahead and download Easy Argentine Spanish’s free app “Vos SOS”.
This app will help you differentiate vos vs tú statements and commands. You are presented with two options and your goal is to choose the one that corresponds with the Argentina Spanish ‘vos’ conjugation.
The app is divided in three categories: easy, intermediate and difficult. The easy level shows regular verbs, the intermediate level irregular verbs, and the difficult level a combination of both.
As it says in the title, this step is optional for a rising fluent speaker, since you might already know how to use ‘vos’ well. However, if you want to get some extra practice or to review any particular verb, I highly encourage you to get started now.
This app is available on Google Play for Android users. It isn’t available for Apple users, sorry guys. Click here to take a step outside your comfort zone and dive into the world of ‘voseo’.
