Joseph Persico: creator of a bilingual dictionary of Argentine words

 Author of the Persico's Lexical Companion to Argentine Spanish

After graduating as a Spanish Literature teacher back in the US, Joseph lived in Spain, Mexico and over a decade in Argentina, first in Paraná (Entre Ríos province) and then in Buenos Aires City. He did 17 years of research on the way Argentines speak Spanish, and the result of his work is the Persico's Lexical Companion to Argentine Spanish (https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Joseph-Daniel-Persico-ebook/dp/B074W7H9FQ), where you can discover what is the meaning in English of "Cholulo", Trucho" or "Yapa" among many other words and expressions which are specific to this country.
