Here is a podcast to help learn Argentinian Spanish. Translated from the website, “The idea of the Podcast is to allow everyone who’s interested, to learn the vocabulary and most common expressions of Argentina. To be able to understand, it’s necessary to have a previous knowledge of Spanish.”
Even if you can’t understand, it’s a helpful way to become accustomed to hearing the accent and fast rate of Argentinian castellano.
The episodes I have listened to so far, she has answered questions about local phrases for miniskirt, car horn, mama’s boy, and the many meanings of the word “palo”. I listened to the episodes about 4 times in a row to gain this level of understanding.
You can get it as a free podcast from itunes, search for Desde el Bano. She also has videocasts on her website:
