I've been a casual lurker since I found this site...
here are my questions..
I want to attend a school in the DR to learn some Spanish, I already know of a few and contacted some of them. I wonder if a 2 week course is enough to really be able to conversate with people there?
My grandfather was Dominican(he died when I was 2) I've always wondered if I could go there(Santo Domingo) and possibly find out more information(like where exactly he was born). I also found out he had another family before he came to New York, it's possible I have some relatives....
unfortunately, my grandmother doesn't volunteer information about him..
does anyone have an idea how I could go about searching for information?
I know this is a long shot, but I appreciate any advice given...
Thanks!
