I am interested in studying Spanish in the DR. Can anyone recommend a school on the North Coast. I would prefer a school located in a populated area and a family community.
There is an excellent school in Sosua. It offers immersion courses as well as private lessons. Many of its students come from Canada and Europe to take its courses. There are some dormitory facilities for such students. Students opting for one of the immersion courses are given a proficiency test to see which group they belong in. It is well worth investigating if you will be on the north coast.

Puerto Plata has several schools/evening classes for people who want to learn Spanish. I can personally recommend a Newfoundlander called LindaSue Chambers. She tutours Englaish in the hotels & will do private lessons for those wanting to learn Spanish.
This girl isn't rich, so she can't charge very much either!!! Try her e-mail at lschambers@hotmail.com or get back to me for further information &/or introduction.
Good luck - Grahame.
