When you decide to learn Spanish in Argentina there are differences in the Spanish language that you must be aware of. Just as with other languages of the world, there are subtle differences in the dialect and language in each country and even from region to region within the same country.
In Argentina, for example, “yo” means “I” in all Spanish speaking countries, but it is pronounced differently in Argentina. In most places the “y” sound is the same as the sound of the consonant “Y” in English, but in Argentina, there are two possible sounds – “sh” as in short or “zh” as the g sound of collage.
