Just wandering (having unfortunately never visited S.Am.) What's the lingo like, language barriers for Spanish and speakers of other languages. Just curious in general.
Lovely piece. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks!
English levels are definitely on the rise across all age groups as you'll see here:
(Apart from those out dancing & partying aged 18-20).
Unfortunately that image didn't render in the above post. My bad.

Other languages aren't really prominent. Quite a few Brazilians, so hear the odd bit of Portuguese from time to time. It's Spanish or English basically.
Uruguayan/Argentinian spanish is a different ball game than others. It's understandable but they of course have their own words for avocados - palta instead of aguacate as an example. And playa is pronounced plasha. Still coming to terms with it, but people are patient & forgiving.
