Etc etc etc etc etc
That?s what they learn first in many languages, is there a course for that?
maybe you just hang out with the wrong class of people.
Dominicans and Haitians i know are a few classes better than your typical tourist hangout expat wannabe street-knowledge shows.
i know the streets down here very well, all classes,
i spent over 6 years in the US, too,
i would not name our upcoming Dominican youngguns that much uneducated in comparison, even that they had and still have much less opportunities.
i had job requests from self called college graduates with so selfnamed 'degrees' and 'long term experiences', requests which i since a few years do not even read anymore, due to "experience".
and there are young and intelligent dominican people out there very willing to go on a job and do it right and learn more every day. and do they work if you give the right salary and not look down on them like so many mistakenly do when coming over from such high educated foreign countries to run the big bucks business down here.
i see those come and go every year.
several years in the country but not able to have a real conversation or discussion in spanish due to leak of ability/IQ aso to learn such.
absolutely no language problem involved when working with good educated Dominicans, doesn't matter i speak to the boys and gals in spanish, english or german. and our communications are not restricted to barfly chats.
some posts show that some posters seem not to know many dominican people, real dominican people, or got involved in dominican life or language much, even after years on the Isle.
sad to see that such is the result of high educated college degrees.
cheers
