The DR Gringas Life

Dominican Spanish

I came across this video and had to share. It made me laugh. The words. The tone of the guys voice when he speaks Dominican Spanish is so perfect (It should be since he is Dominican duhhh).
So as you practice your Dominican Spanish make sure you listen to your teacher Sir Nube Negra and you will be speaking Dominican Spanish in no time.

Remember to check the Dominicanismo Dictionary here. I will post new lessons as they come available. I want you to learn the proper way to speak your Dominican Spanish so you can feel like a native on your next visit. I do all this because I care.(jejee)

New York Dominican Day Parade 2007

Sunday August 12 2007 is the big Dominican Republican Day Parade. This years parade on 6th Avenue from 36th Street to 62nd Street will be hosted by TV host Karina Larrauri. For the first time in the history of the parade it will be aired live on satellite from NYC to the DR. Television Dominicana which broadcasts on Dish Network channel 844 and 434 by way of Direct TV, will have live coverage of the parade from 2 to 4 P.M.
The New York Dominican Parade and “Fiesta” will be attended by an estimated 500,000 people. There will be lots of great Dominican food, music and cultural events. Our friends from Mabi Refresco will be there with their new product right behind the Goya Foods float.

So if you are in the area go enjoy the sights sounds and scents of the event. If you can't be in Dominican Republic at least during this parade you can pretend you are. Even if it is only for a few hours.
I wish I could join everyone! Enjoy!

Palos Video - I Just Couldn't Resist It

I never put a video on my blog before but I came
across this and just had to put it on here. I love Palos
music and wrote about it on my web
site http://www.colonialzone-dr.com..
This song , Los palos by Kinito Mendez is great.
I'm not really into the the TV show Family Guy but
this is just too great to let it pass by. Enjoy!
