Comment on When Parrilla Meets Pulikachal – Part 1 – Argentine bashing by The Wandering V — Learning, and now Celebrating Spanish in Argentina

[...] On the contrary, Buenos Aires, and Argentina in general offers a student of Spanish one big advantage that may be hard to beat: A complete and utter devotion to extraversion. If you can keep a reasonably content Argentinian quiet for more than 1 minute, you can bet your underwear that they’re faking their nationality. The more and more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that the only way I was able to pick up as much of the language as I have over the last six months, is because, well, Argentina wanted to talk to me. It really did. Now, I’m an extrovert too, but my exteroversion pales in comparison to that of this country as a whole. People aren’t afraid to stop on the street and ask me who I am, where I come from, and break into a detailed conversation about crossing the Ganges. [...]

You should look me up when you’re in NY.

Hey Vinayak, I just wanted to let you know, you had the best LSE blog on the web. I know you have probably moved on to other things, so I completely understand why you may have stopped blogging. But I really enjoyed your entries in the past. Take care and I hope all is well.

Hi Vinayak!
Hope you are doing great! I have got admit from LSE and so I have some questions to ask from you. I have been reading your blog for quite some time and have come to know a bit about being in LSE but there are lot of questions which are still unanswered. It will be really helpful if you could give me your emailid so that I can contact you directly!
Bye and take care

Sorry to be back, but I can’t seem to find the double dhammah. The Alt-Gr + W gives this weird character doesn’t look like the double dhammah. Is that the one that’s supposed to be it, or am I being a blind idiot? Thanks, Vins.

Wow, this is fantastic! It’s pretty addictive, and increases typing speed by a good 100% at least.
