(What is Lunfardo?)
Lunfardo is the iconic slang of Buenos Aires, born in the late 19th century during a wave of Italian immigration (1870s) amid Italy’s economic instability and unification. Influenced by Italian, gaucho, and African lexicon, lunfardo started among the lower classes in Buenos Aires, Rosario, and in the capitalcity of Uruguay, Monetvideo, before spreading to all social classes. Studying Spanish with Mente Argentina? You’ll hear lunfardo in our classes and on the streets of Palermo and Recoleta! Join our Spanish programs.
