Hello Lisa, and welcome to DR1. I read your other post regarding your Spanish skills, and offer a small amount of advice. When learning a language, it's always best to start at the beginning. Every American knows the words to ONE song. It's the alphabet song that we are all taught as little kids in kindergarten or before. Spanish is the same. Learn the Spanish alphabet, and see how your Spanish progresses. Both English and Spanish are based on Latin, and it's amazing how many words in English are exactly the same or very similarly spelled that have the exact same meaning!
Ask your husband if there are any POSITIONS OPEN on the animation team at the resort where he works????
Just a thought!
WELCOME HOME!!!!!
You will love it here!

Where is "here"?
Did you marry him "there"?
Are you in the US and want to relocate to the Dominican Republic?

Lisa14 you are getting more questions than answers as your post created more questions than your post asked. If you are looking for advice just give us a brief outline as where you and your husband are from, where you live now where does your husband work how long does he expect to be here in the DR etc etc. What type of employment are you interested in or qualified for. Rosetta stone is a good beginning but remember the Spanish it teaches is as to Dominican Spanish as british English is to a jamaican speaking English.
I am a us citizen, he is a Dominican citizen, we meet in the USA. He has decided to go back to Dr, I am trying to get my citizenship so I can work. I was told I need my cedula to work. So, I need advice as too is there jobs I can work on just my US passport until I can get my citizenship. All the is so new. I guess overwhelming too... I have been going between countries... I am a Paralegal, hairstylist, and I work as a Domestic Violence counselor. We plan to live here. But I need to work...I don't want to do nothing . So that's the info. Oh, yes my husband works in a call center.
You just need residency to get a cedula not Citizenship so you don't need to worry about taking a citizenship test just yet! There are places I am sure you can find a job without a cedula while you are waiting for Residency but don't expect a good or even ok wage!
