Has anyone ever come across any books, audio, courses, or other resources that cover
Rioplatense Spanish? The only thing that I've managed to locate is Speaking Argento: A Guide to Argentine Spanish, which has not yet been reviewed on Amazon. Thanks! Edit: removed botched link. Edited by ElBrujo on 23 June 2012 at 7:10am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I believe FSI covers voseo somewhere in Volume 4 (Platiquemos volumes 7 and 8)--but I don't think it covers accent
development. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I believe there's a course called "Bueno entonces" that covers Argentian Spanish. You
can see a sample on YouTube. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The vast majority of modern courses seem to teach Castillian Spanish. I guess because it's a more cohesive dialect than Latin American Spanish, and thus less complex to teach.

Argentinian Spanish is much more uniform than European Spanish.
As for the number of speakers, if you consider Spaniards who have Spanish as their 1st language (not counting Basks, Catalans and Galicians), the number of speakers is almost the same: 40 million. European Spanish can vary a lot: Canaries, Andalusia, Murcia..all of them have different accents, and even dialects. As for resources for Argentinian Spanish... I like these: Argentinian Spanish Dictionary (Diccionario integral del español de la Argentina): http://www.clarin.com/diccionario El trece TV (good selection of programs, sitcoms, soap operas): http://www.eltrecetv.com.ar/ 103 FM Power Radio Pinamar, programs available for download (podcasts): http://www.radiopower.com.ar/PodCast/AudiCast.asp Edited by Medulin on 24 June 2012 at 2:05pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Really? I thought that most courses made in the US taught Latin American Spanish, or to be more precise, Mexican Spanish. Edited by tractor on 24 June 2012 at 2:56pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yep, There are far, far more courses that teach Latin American Spanish than Castilian. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
