I was born in NYC, and my parents are Dominicans. My 1st language was Spanish and I lived 8 years in Santo Domingo as a little girl; however, I was very americanized. I married a wonderful black American man, and it's been the best thing that's happened to me. In 9 years, we'll be retiring together and traveling the world and maybe settling back in the DR, possibly in Samana as our main residence.

Four years ago, when I first met my (now) Dominican wife in her country, we communicated with Google translator, made up sign language, whistles, raised eyebrows, etc. For a newcomer looking at us... They probably thought "What in the world?..." But... We made it work! Fast forward, we both learned a lot of the other's language and now we speak in English/Spanish, Spanish/English and we do fine. As far as the culture compromise, I agree 100%. Both cultures can benefit from each other. Food, music, traditions and just overall attitude (underrated!). We use each other's food and spices and create some really good meals! For example, she now loves red pepper and Old Bay seasoning when we cook most kinds of seafood. We can hook up some beans too. I tought her about smoked turkey necks. LOL Glad to hear your story :-)

Nice! My wife is Dominican and from Azua as well and only speaks Spanish but ive been fluent in the language for a long time. Learned in the streets of North Philly. Been around the Dominican culture so I know all the bachateros, the food and more. Philly has a huge Dominican population and they came in droves over the last 15 years. I tell my friends all the time if you become fluent in Spanish the dialect you speak depends on culture you learn it from. But yeah in Philly I was in them Dominican bars heavy!

The language barrier. This is not and should never be an obstacle. Look at you guys now. Only lazy minded people see language as an obstacle. It’s not easy and it wasn’t easy for both of you, but with patience, love and commitment. Look at both of you now. Tons of memories you can talk and laugh about. That’s what relationship is about. Take not people. Love it, love. Worth the wait. 👌👌👌👌
