Hello! My name is Gonzalo, I am 22 years old, and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most people in this forum are from USA but I hope I can find some people from Latin America here:). This January I visited USA for the first time. I stayed in Miami and Orlando. Beautiful places!

I discovered Unsolved Mysteries in 2003. A channel which now no longer exists aired throughout its existance UM episodes. I remember the first one I saw: it was the one where it was told the story of Dan Tondevold and how he stole Ellen McClung Berry (dirty bastard!). I remember that I never missed one episode that whole year. In 2004 they stopped airing UM episodes.

But many years later I discovered that they were a lot of episodes uploaded in Youtube, so I started to see them again. I then discovered this forum and the UM page at Wikia, where I search for updates. Im very glad that a lot people kept, keep and will keep the UM spirit alive.

I wanted to introduce myself before starting to comment on other threads and create threads of my own. I hope I can get along with everyone in here. And sorry if sometimes my English is not correct!

Your English is great! Welcome to the forum...:wave:

Welcome Gonzalo! I'm happy that you discovered Unsolved Mysteries and joined us here. :wave:

Your english is excellent. If you don't mind me asking, what's you're native language? Is it spanish? Sorry, I'm not sure what language people speak in your country. We have many bilingual and multilingual people in the USA but even though our educational system often requires students to take a foreign language class, they never become fluent speakers.

I've been trying to teach myself Spanish but I am making very slow progress. My daughter's husband speaks english, urdu, punjabi, and a little arabic. He's teaching her to speak urdu. When they have kids, I'd like to be able to speak spanish well enough to teach it to their children.

I think my daughter might learn urdu and spanish much faster than I have. In college last year, she had to learn enough of the language in only one semester to give a final report to the class speaking only in spanish. Afterwards, though, she forgot most of it! lol

My knowledge is limited mostly to phrases. I can sort of understand what's being said when I hear it spoken, but if I have to speak it myself, I usually can't find the right words. I'm limited to things like, me gusta, no me gusta, buenos dias, por supuesto, lo siento, todo el mundo, etc. And none of that is very useful when trying to have a conversation with someone! lol

In Argentina, like in most countries in Latin America, we speak Spanish.

Type "Spanish" in Wikipedia. There is a very interesting article about the language, and all the variations of it that are present in different Latin American countries.

"Unsolved Mysteries" in Spanish is "Misterios sin resolver" ;)

Welcome! :wave:

Hola y bienvenido. :) Your English is great and if you make a mistake don't worry at all--there are plenty of people whose native language is English and don't write as well as you do. :)

:wave: Welcome Gonzalo! Nice to meet UM fans from all over the world!

Welcome to the forum, Gonzalo! :wave:

Así es, en Canal Infinito. ¿Sos hombre o mujer? No me doy cuenta a partir de tu nombre de usuario jaja.

Jajaja, woman, "Black Dahlia" beacause of Elizabeth Short, and 28 was my age two years ago.....:)

I remember seeing UM at 18:00, in winter time when it's dark and it was creepy...
Infinito was a great channel, it now exists but it's no longer the same, has totally changed. It's sad.
I have to see the segmentes at the forbidden site (YTB)....

I saw it at seven o clock. It was on air everyday, except on weekends.

I read about Elizabeth Short. Very interesting case.

Are you a Colo Colo, Universidad de Chile or Universidad Católica fan? I am a River Plate fan. Im sure you must like Marcelo Bielsa (if you like soccer, jaja).

"Unsolved Mysteries" in Spanish is "Misterios sin resolver" ;)

Cool! Thanks for telling me. That will probably be my most often used phrase now! My family will probably be happy to hear me babbling something new, because they are really tired of hearing, "buenos dias, como estas?", which I even greet our pet snake with each day. lol

There is a channel by that name on the video site. They have the episodes in HD/HQ and in Spanish (obviously). I wish the English dubs were in that kind of quality.

I'm a U. Católica fan and also love Marcelo Bielsa :)
When I was a teenager I loved soccer very much, in 1996-97, Marcelo Salas played in River and I was a River fan, I remember some of the team of those years: Enzo Francescoli, Sorín, Toto Berizzo, etc...the coach: Ramón Díaz :D...
