    5 cities here in the USA are on the list of the most dangerous cities in the world, a city in the Dominican Republic has never appeared on that list. Why DON'T US TELL people to be careful when they go to Detroit? to St. Louis to Baltimore? I should say it because they are on the list of the most dangerous. He prefers to say that Santi Domingo is dangerous when he has never been on the list.🤣🤣

      Agree, although we may know the reputations, perhaps they should make travel advisories for cities.

      They do. Locals will even tell people who don’t look like they’ve been not to go further and just skip town. Plenty of videos that talk about these cities, and I can send them over.

    Thanks for the video . I noticed you also teach Spanish please let me know how can I take classes from you. And can you please make a short video about the language barriers in dominican or sento Domingo . I was in Cuba few times and it’s very difficult there to communicate.

      Thanks for watching! The language barrier would probably be an interesting video topic- I’ll have to look into it further. Unfortunately I’m not teaching Spanish classes right now, but thank you for your consideration!

    Por estrano k parezca muchas palabras dominicanas tienen base pork se dicen. Y cuando aprendes su historia aprecias más y te hace más sentido. Por ejemplo la palabra chin, viene de la moneda de los chinos k cuando te vendían algo ya sea una verdura o una comida y como no sabían decir dinero en español te hacían seña y te decían dame chin refiriendo a k le pagues. Y a veces como no le dabas suficiente te volvían a repetir dame chin. Y a manera de chiste eso se kedo en la cultura dominicana. Ahora ya sabes. Aunk se ha desvirtuado el uso de la palabra pork también se usa cuando no kieres comer un plato completo sino un poco pides un chin. Y ese es el uso más usado de la palabra chin 🫶

    Honestly, given the choice, I'd prefer living in the Dominican Republic over New York City any day of the week. Just take a glance at the news and you'll notice that nowhere in NYC seems safe. On the other hand, in the DR, as long as you steer clear of the rough neighborhoods, you should be alright.

    Can I give you some advice? It's hard to understand you for people like me that are not native English speakers. You speak too fast and some of your words come out slurred. That might not be a problem for native English speakers, but even I that I'm bilingual and actually live in the USA I'm struggling catching what you're trying to say.
