I Used "Total Immersion"
You must teach both the left,and right brain!
You must read,speak,hear,and write in Spanish.Listen to native speakers,in person,on radio,movies,andTV.Listen to local music.
Read spanish
newspapers and book/magazines.
Converse.
And write letters,faxes,and "lessons",as you should take a Spanish course at a local univ.
Most important,Speak,Speak,Speak,and never be afraid,or embarrassed,to sound like an idiot! Dominicans don't mind if you speak poor spanish,(They ,afterall,don't speak "Proper Spanish)but they love it when you TRY!

PS.Learn to speak like a well educated Dominican! No "Ghetto"ease. You may think it's "COOL",but it labels you as a person who hangs out in Colmados,carwashes,and whore houses. (WoW, Do I Sound Like "AZB"!)
