Oh by the way its a CD program, no writing or reading. But it includes the transcripts to what you heard so you can learn to read/write it.

Nice!
Now, let me give you a nice lesson, for free or course, about what you just wrote in spanish. NOTE: it's not a put down, it's just to help you a little.
'El proximo mes volvere a la Republica Dominicana adonde estare por tres meses para aprender espanol'
Good luck and feel free to ask anything you want!.
It's very nice that you are learning spanish. Spanish and english dictionaries and watching spanish tv helps alot!.NYC_Trini_Span said:

Congratulation for taking the first step. My advance is that tv can sometimes be very confusing and make beginners stressed because at first you won't understand very much. My advice is to surround yourself with as many spanish speaking friends and make sure you tell them to speak to you in spanish. If you don't understand something they say, have them try to explain in other words what they are trying to say. This is the method me teacher uses and although I don't understand everyword i can usually figure out what she is talking about. Also have them point out your gramatical mistakes and have them tell you what you should say in place of what you said.

Haha look at my original terrible spanish. Well here's the update. I moved to Sosua and began going to school using a book i purchased in NYC, that the school happened to use (Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses by Dorothy Devney).
Instead of 3 months, i stayed for 6!!! I also taught ESL on the side to make some $$ but i charged dirt cheap bcuz i really just wanted to help out and also learn.
To Miguel:
I just saw this reply so many months later, and i THANK YOU for the help. NOW i know what i REALLY wanted to say LOL:
"El mes que viene/El pr?ximo mes volver? a la Republica Dominica adonde estar? por seis meces para aprender espa?ol y ense?ar ?ngles."
I learned so much, no puedo creer todas las cosas que aprend? all?. Las palabras que eran dif?cil ahora son f?cil. Todav?a hay un chin chin palabras que no me pasa bien pero por lo menos no necesito un diccionario para conversar. Diache!!
Los dominicanos siempre pensaban que era Haitiano o Jamaiquino, especialmente cuando le habl? en espa?ol porque me dijeron americanos negros y blancos nunca pueden aprender espa?ol bien. No tengo mucho acento cuando hablo. Siempre usaba m? bandera de Trinidad y Tobago pero casi ninguna persona lo conocieron. De todos modos, m? viaje fue bien.
Gracias Miguel!!!
