Hi again ....I haven't posted in over a year but do like to read new posts to keep up with what's happening in the Dominican Republic. :squareeye I have visited Sosua/ Cabarete area for the last few years ...so far only staying in all-inclusive resorts.....Casa Marina / Viva Tangerine. I'm ready for something different.......hoping to stay in an apartment or ? where I can shop and cook for myself and perhaps mingle with the locals more. I really want to learn to speak and write Spanish as well. I have taken a few evening courses in the local high schools here but once a week for an hour isn't really getting me too far! While in Sosua on holidays I have also taken a few lessons at the Spanish Center on Hispaniola St. which were great . However I am hoping for something where I would be more integrated with the people forcing me to pick-up on the language. I am hoping maybe some of you can give me some ideas.....I am not looking for a luxury holiday but a learning experience with the bonus of a great atmosphere! I am certainly not a "rich Canadian tourist" ....I will fly to Puerto Plata using up airmiles:cheeky:so I am looking for a modest but safe place to stay hopefully close to the central area of Sosua....near stores etc. I also hope to take a few Spanish lessons at the Spanish Center again but at 10.00 /hour I will need to learn a lot on my own as well. I hope to come in the end of November and stay for approximately one month.
I am in my late 50's and travelling solo as my husband has to stay back and make the dinero!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ? Gracias para tu ayuda!
