    Recommendations for a private Spanish instructor or tutor in Buenos Aires?

    Can you get by living in Buenos Aires not speaking Spanish and only English?

    I can't speak any Spanish at all. When I go to Mexico I just use Google Translate and can get by. Many of the cities are very touristy like Cancun and Cabo. Can I easily get by speaking no Spanish at all in a city like Buenos Aires? I am sure most tourists don't speak Spanish from the USA...

    Newcomer Is dog poop on sidewalks as bad as I read online in forums and blogs? Do people not pick up after their dogs?

    I am considering moving to BA as I'm a digital nomad and I heard the cost of living there is cheap. My lease is ending on my condo in the USA in February. I am a bit OCD when it comes to cleanliness. My big concern is I keep reading about dog poop all over the sidewalks. I HATED this in Paris...
