I served my mission in the DR. Your Spanish is probably fine. Dominicans just have a very different way of speaking than most other Spanish speakers. I remember getting off the plane in the DR after going through the MTC and feeling pretty good about my Spanish only to be able to understand 0% of what anyone was saying.Originally posted by Surfah View PostI watched Sugar on HBO. I think MarkGrace recommended it awhile back in another thread. It's a great character piece about a Dominican kid trying to escape poverty through baseball. I really liked it. And boy does my Spanish needs a tune up because I could barely understand anything Dominicans say.
Anyway, if you're a baseball fan or character piece fan you should check it out. As far as I could tell the depiction was pretty accurate of how things are. I had a 28 year old mission companion from Nicaragua who was drafted by the Dodgers and he told me it was pretty tough.

I've never been able to understand Carribean Spanish speakers, but I also have a hard to understanding certain English accents. When you are naturally tuned to hearing something one way, it can be hard when that thing sounds so different.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

I baptized a part member family. The husband was an RM Mexican who grew up mostly in the states. His wife and her children though were Dominican and I struggled understanding them. I was grateful that we had the husband to sit in on lessons with us to help.Originally posted by Slim View PostI served my mission in the DR. Your Spanish is probably fine.

Very interesting and unique. It's the first movie I can remember with that quality of dubbing. Maybe I've been watching too many foreign-language films recently."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

The version you watched was dubbed into English?Originally posted by BoylenOver View Post"Oldboy"

None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

I finally got around to seeing The Big Lebowski. Funny shiz. Bridges and Goodman were great, but I think Buschemi's character was my favorite for some reason, even though his role was much, much smaller. Jesus was awesome as well.

In the last 24 hours I watched the Hangover and Old School. Those are great movies. Great. I also watched Starsky and Hutch because it was on HBO. And truth be told I only watched for the Brande Roderick locker room scene and turned that crap off. My goodness Owen Pochman."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic
