I am beyond excited to travel to the Dominican republic to learn Spanish. I think Santo Domingo will be a city of cultural elegance and interesting people. I imagine the people of Santo Domingo to be polite, kind, and proud of their culture.
Getting back into the routine of speaking Spanish constantly will be an initial challenge for me, but this is also what I am looking forward to. From past experience, I know that an immersion program for learning a language is the best possible way to learn the language. I look forward to meeting my host family and learning about their routines, customs, and personalities.
Although I am looking forward to eating exotic foods, one of my biggest fears is getting sick from some crazy bacteria. I am going to try all the foods that I can, but also be very careful about not drinking tap water or eating anything that has been washed with tap water.
I know this trip will make me more independent and will further help me to understand and appreciate the culture of the Dominican Republic.
