My Spanish is just at the travaler Spanish level, but fortunately many in Argentina speak a little English, unlike Chile where NOBODY speaks English.
Funny that you find it cheap here, I don't think it's all that cheap as people claim. Certain things are like steaks and transportation costs, but other things seemed to be priced no differently than they are in the US. Went to a club last night, still $7 - $8 for a mixed drink, no different than most US cities. I still usually end up spending $15 minimum on dinner for example a steak, potatoes and 2 soft drinks. And other basic things you need like deodorant, toothpaste, bottle of water, snacks, etc I don't see any difference in price from the USA.
Btw, I like B.A. a bit more now. I just needed a few days to branch out a bit. San Telmo where I'm at can look like skid row in certain parts so my impression was tainted. Recoleta is really nice.
