In this episode, I sit down in Palermo with Ruslán (“Rusentino”), a Russian immigrant living in Buenos Aires, and he opens up about what it really feels like to start over in Argentina. We talk culture shock, the Russian-speaking community in the city, and how he went from zero Spanish to actually communicating in real life. Just when you think you’ve got the full picture, the conversation takes an unexpected turn… Press play and come with us.

Discover Patagonia through a human lens: in this episode (in Argentine Spanish), we travel from north to south to explore why Patagonia became such a strategic region to populate, what was at stake, and how different waves of people shaped its towns and landscapes—without forgetting the communities that were already there. It’s perfect if you’re coming to Argentina (or just curious) and want real, natural Spanish from Argentina while picking up cultural context, key vocabulary, and the kind of expressions you’ll actually hear on the ground.

In this episode of Discover Patagonia, I sit down with Angélica, a Mapuche woman with roots in southern Chile who now lives in Argentina.

It’s an intimate conversation about identity, belonging, and life in the south.

You’ll hear not only Argentine Spanish, but also Chilean Spanish, so it’s a great listening challenge if you’re at an intermediate level.

The entire episode is in Spanish.

The idea is simple: to help you stay connected to the language—and to Argentine culture—even if you’re not in Argentina right now.

Come listen with an open mind, follow the context, and let the conversation pull you in.
