The teacher, like all Argentines, speaks rapidly, and I did not understand everything, but she is EXTREMELY sweet, very wise, and empathizes with international students because she has studied all over the world. She made it clear that if I need anything, it won't be a problem.
Also, a side note...
The vast majority of people that I have met, Argentine or not, can speak at least broken English, as well as a possible third language.
At orientation, there were only 6 students (out of 200-ish) who live in English-speaking countries. However, they presented everything in Spanish, then in English for all of the foriegn students who already know English AND German/Italian/Swedish/Portuguese/French and/or some other language.
