Cuando quieres decir algo como.. ....with the professor who is going to conduct the program... Debes usar "que" . Nunca jamás se usan "quien" cuando el pronombre relativo llega de inmediato el antecedente. En lugar de eso, se usan "que" Quote:
Él es el profesor a quien hablé sobre el programa Lo siento si las correcciones no tienen razón:D |
Thanks to both of you! (By the way - I still can't use the subjunctive. So, although I appreciate the suggestions, I have no idea what the subjunctive is all about and have a lot to learn before I get there.... But I'll take it when I'm ready. Thanks anyway!)

¡¡Finalmente!! ¡Buenas noticias! El director de mi escuela ha decidido que puedo ir a Buenos Aires para estudiar este verano. Necesito faltar cinco días de la última semana de clases y la graduación. ¡Y él me di permisión! Y no necesito tomar días sin pago. Él me dije dos días antes de la fecha límite para el programa. Todo ha estado siguiendo rapidamente. ("siguiendo"? ¿Es la palabra correcta?) Estoy muy emocionada sobre este! Ojalá pueda ser capaz de hablar un poco de español cuando regrese.
¿Se puede darme frases de viajar apropiadas? Como: "Buenos Aires, here I come!", etc.......... :) |

Felicidades. Claro que vas a volver hablando más castellano. |

¡Que buena oportunidad, y cuantos celos! I have no idea if this is expressed correctly or not, but you get the general idea, I hope! |
He viajado a Buenos Aires. Es una ciudad con un entorno muy distinto. Desde Belgrano hasta San Telmo, vale la pena conocer. Si sales aquí en verano, llegas alli en invierno, pero me dicen que los alli inviernos son suaves.

Felicidades por tu permiso de 5 días remunerados.

Well, Robin - it's not exactly "paid leave" because it's not something that I'm going to be doing for fun. It's that I have to take classes to keep my professional license. If it was mere "leave", they would definitely NOT have given me permission!! ;)

Hello laepelba! so you are coming here! where are you going to take the course? (the adress or name of the institution) Where are you going to stay? It's a wonderfull oportunity for you, and you know you can count with me for anything. (Hmm, is this well said?) About the weather, the normal thing in winter is near 4-10 at morning, then 14 - 18, or something like that, without wind and not dry.
PD: poli, witch zone have you liked the most? (?) |
Thanks, Ookami - your statement was perfectly fine. I will keep your e-mail address handy! :) If you want to go ahead and delete from the message above, I've saved it elsewhere.
I'll be studying at the Universidad Belgrano: http://www.ub.edu.ar/ - are you familiar with it? |
I like different parts of Buenos Aires for different things. Montserrat is interesting for its impressive buildings. Palermo is nice for it's houses along tree lined side streets and vast parks, but I don't like Palermo Hollywood because it seems too much like a highway zone. I don't like la Costanera del Norte. La Recoleta reminds me Paris. Barrio del Norte along Santa Fe is good for shopping as is Microcentro. San Telmo is nice on the weekends around Plaza Dorrego. Corrientes is great for theater and book stores. It's a good town, and it's a little bit slower paced that other cities of its size, and people speak more slowly too which makes it easier for me to understand.

Thanks, Poli - very helpful. Anyone other general comments about Buenos Aires would be greatly appreciated! :)

Wow, you know a lot about Bs.As! I'm in Palermo, near Santa Fe and Corrientes :D
Have you traveled outside Capital Federal? The really beauty of Argentina is on the provinces, there you've almost all kinds of weathers and landscapes, but for that you need a lot more time. For example, two weeks ago I went to Iguazú waterfalls, and that's an unforgetable place. laepelba, I know UB by name and by some friends that go there, but not much more than that. Here the mayority of people (even rich ones) goes to public universitys, that are completely free. (UBA, that is only in Capital Federal, has more than 25% of all the students of the country) From my friends UB seems like a very good university. If I had to study in a private university, it would be an important option. |

Thanks for the corrections :D

By the way, I didn't answer your question about where I'm going to stay. The program that I'm participating in (through a local university here in the DC area) arranges for home stays with local families (walking distance to Belgrano). What is that neighborhood/section of the city like?
|
Belgrano is a densely populated newer neighborhood at a far end of Buenos Aires. There's lots of stores, plenty of restaurants and it has Chinese community.
The neighborhood has a subte (subway) stop. It takes a little more than a hakf an hour to get to the center of town. |
