You already know the Spanish spoken by Dominicanos is a distinct and unique idiom, rich with words, phrases, and slang they don't teach in high school Spanish class.Intended for English speakers, this book shares common words, phrases, and slang you need to communicate in everyday situations: - When ordering a meal in a restaurant- Ordering a drink in a bar.- Bargain for fresh produce at the mercado.- While flirting, - When getting street directions.- When hiring a taxi.- Snorkeling on the reefs- Zip-lining in the jungle.- Relaxing on beautiful beaches.That said, be advised that this little book is neither a complete course in learning the Spanish language nor a textbook.
