There are plenty of reasons you’ll want to come study Spanish in the Dominican Republic. Today we’ll give you 5.
1. Island Latin Music & Dance
The Dominican Republic, or Quisqueya, is the place where the Spanish first settled in the New World. The resulting mixes of Spanish, Taino, and African cultures produced a variety of infectious grooves centered around dance parties that can start early Saturday and last through Sunday night.
At these fiestas, you can find the warmest people on earth. Come to the Dominican Republic and live the rhythm of the Latin culture by dancing Merengue or Bachata in a colmado, bar or beach club. Show off your salsa moves, listen to Reggaeton or just dance on the seashore until sunrise!
2. Joyful and Colorful Cultural Celebrations
Witness one of the major celebrations in the Caribbean: the sparkling and exuberant Dominican Carnivals in January and February. After Lent is Semana Santa (Holy Week) where you can practice your Spanish with the many Dominicans that flock to the beach. In November, enjoy the Dominican Republic Jazz Festival held in Sosua, Cabarete, and Puerto Plata.
3. Beautiful Beaches & Sunny Weather
Cabarete, on the north coast, is the hip place for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing. The warm waters are perfect even for first-timers. Ride the waves before or after your Spanish lessons! You can also enjoy humpback whale watching in Samana, catamaran trips, or sailing.
4. Plenty of Outdoor Adventures
Land activities? Of course! Paraglide, river-raft, ride horses, go on an ATV 4-wheel excursion, or go zip-lining. On the North Coast, enjoy beautiful sightseeing at Mount Isabel de Torres using the cable car, or explore the ancient caves of El Choco National Park.
5. Good Services at Affordable Prices
With eight international airports, you'll have easy access to comfortable accommodations at fantastic rates. Stock up on world-famous Dominican rum and cigars, or shop for semi-precious stones like Amber and Larimar. When eating, taste fresh seafood and traditional dishes like Mangú.
