It all begins with a classic story, back in 1996: guy meets girl (she’s a foreign exchange student in high school), takes a gap year, travels from his native Utah to be with her in Argentina, breaks up with her. But along the way he gets to know the language and the culture, and ends up staying.

Jared Tabor’s Spanish is of course now fluent, with more than a hint of Argentinian accent.
