Subject: Rick4s Notes from Buenos Aires
Dear friends from the tango list
I have been reading the postings of Rick from Portland . It is very interesting to have a view from a visitor , and also all the information about places and people.
I am not ashamed to say that I always receive good information from visitors about tango places to go to dance . Being a native in Buenos Aires does not mean to be a Tango expert, so welcome Rick and Alejandra and thank you for your comments !!!
Now I would like to cheer up Rick , I noticed he got a bad cough due to this bloody smoke of milongas ( I hate this smoke, one of the reasons I do not go more frequently is smoke, I could not stand more than 2 hours in a such an atmosphere)
What Rick drink is a destornillador = screwdriver . Another way to make it sound spanish would be this one
The-store-knee-yeah-door : it sounds like spanish pronunciation
I receive a funny e mail about this phonetic spelling , I hope Rick will cheer up . Alejandra can testify the spanish explanations are accurate .
Warm regards
Alberto Gesualdi

Read it in english, with slow pronunciation, and you will find how spanish sounds.
