Well, folks if you plan to live in a Spanish speaking country make every effort to learn the language. I migrated to NYC and my first goal was to speak English. Helllo learn the language.

[lucianappleton]

I am in Santo Domingo right now. My spanish is weak but I am out there walking and interacting with local people. And the ladies....

[patrickjlouis]

I enjoy Santo Domingo, I visited Santiago, Puerto Plata, Caberete and Sosua, but Santo Domingo has a different vibe and works for me....

[shawnautrey]

I enjoyed Santo Domingo, good vibes! The people made me feel at home. I plan to come back in a few months.

[dishonhall]

I really love the whole vibe of Santo Domingo! Look forward to coming back!

I just came back from Santo Domingo. I loved it so much I bought my next ticket back while on the plane going home lol.

i've been living for six years in Santo Domingo and I love it!

[shirleywilliams]

I enjoyed my stay there and yes, most people speak Spanish. And the people are very nice and friendly. The traffic is crazy 😂😂.

I speak Spanish and so that doesn’t bother me ..however, Ive been to multiple parts of DR. I’m from United States but I’m from the south. Where I live it’s very calm and lots of nature. I’m not a city person lol I like more punta cana, veron, bávaro because it’s a little more calmer for me than Santo domingo and I like the beaches in punta cana.

What you said @5:11 was one of the reasons I didn't care for Santo Domingo. Too much city for me. Now, Santiago is more of my speed.

[barrymonteiro]

What a great video with valuable insights about relocating to Santo Domingo. You have great communication skills and command of the english language, ...better than some native english speakers!

[TheElisues]

I love the city… There’s something here for everyone… Driving throughout the city isn’t for the faint of heart but it’s a great place to be…👊

[KennyPyatt]

For us, we liked Santo Domingo but we liked Santiago more so that is where we are moving.

[richardlugo]

I enjoy living in Santo Domingo because I have my malls walking distance and my gym/pool membership 5 mins commute. I take it easy while driving, period. Good video

[jubyud]

I personally never have been to Santo Domingo I have been to Santiago and san Francisco de Marcoris and La Vega. You will have more fun if you don't hang out in the tourist areas. when i stayed in Santiago I remained in an Air B&B and they had private security the security was very friendly and helped when I asked for good places to go eat and where to get a haircut.t got a discount at a restaurant for speaking Spanish. read some comments where people complained about the language but you are visiting a Spanish-speaking country. i ENJOY YOUR CONTENT on here. yall are doing a great job keep up the good work

I’m Hispanic going to Santo Domingo in November this month

[lucinelynch]

I love SD, and I agree with your reasons. I do prefer POP. I feel I can fit in SD being from Brooklyn. I tell people to learn the language. My driving scar friends in DR lol

[RaayCidd]

Yes they will talk to you with a broken mashed up spanish like klk, como tu ta 😂😂😂

[kevinthomas]

I have been living in Santo Domingo off and on for 5 years now and my Espanol is still very limited. I meet plenty of people, mostly at the gym and yoga classes who speak English so building a community was not hard for me as I keep my circle small anyway, but yes English is not spoken too much in SD. Translation works well when I go to the bank and I have my friends find me English speaking doctors and dentist etc. Yes traffic is bad, I do not drive and use uber which is perfect for me and for road trips, I rent a car. Yes the city is big and there is an abundance of things to do all over the city. For me the areas to live and play are Ensanche Naco, La Esperilla, Bella Vista, Piantini and Evaristo Morales. There are so many other wonderful areas also to live and play.
