Well, the number one thing that keeps immigrants feeling isolated is their fluency with English. So the first thing I would suggest would be to work on your language skills. May I suggest www.livemocha.com It is a free site that can help you learn many different languages, English included. It is also an online community, so there are plenty of people to practice with. Perhaps you should consider pursuing higher education on line as well. There are many online colleges, perhaps one of them might have a program that would suit your needs. Really to be a professional in the US, you need a college degree or you have to start on the ground floor when you are young and work your way up. At your age, furthuring your education is your best bet. If making money is not a priority, but staying active is, perhaps you should consider volunteering at a local museum, historic site, or a hospital.

Teach something-- Spanish, for example. Take dance lessons (tango is the obvious choice if you don't already know it) to meet people who are interested in your culture. Organize tours to Argentina with a travel agency. Work with ex-pats or businesses hoping to relocate to Argentina. Work with import-export firms who are importing products to or from Argentina.

You are as young as you want to be. You already have a good education from your country. You should go to the local community college and take an English as a Second Language Class. This really will help a great deal with communicating. You are still qualified to do what you were doing in your country. Translating it is what you need to work on. The class should be fairly inexpensive. Your english is better than you think it is. I understood you. Plus the counselors there will be more than happy to help you find what you want to do. Good Luck.

Malena, not all Americans are as close-minded as the ones you've -probably- met. Some are actually very friendly and welcoming, and realize that not all people who come from South America (or other countries) are uneducated. Many are even willing to learn some Spanish and to take the time to teach you some basic English. You just need to meet people. Join a gym; there are some for women only, where you can meet other ladies that may share some of your interests. Enroll in some classes at your community college; you'll meet other students there and might make some good friends. Don't worry about your age; it's never too late to learn a second language. I hope you reach a point where you feel this is your home. I felt exactly the way you feel now when I was very little. I've lived in three different countries, speaking three different languages (which I knew nothing about before moving there). As a child and teen, it is also very hard to feel out of place. Keep those spirits up! You can make friends if you go to the right places to find them. Maybe you could volunteer to teach Spanish to a group at your local community college? Just an idea.
