Dominican Slang

Dominican Slang 

 I like to consider myself a person who knows quite a bit of Spanish. I am not fluent by any means but I know enough to get around and have some conversations with others. But when I first got to the Dominican I was really thrown through a loop. I felt (and still sometimes feel) as if I couldn't understand even the simplest phrase. But just as every other country, they have their own way of speaking. So I thought I would share a  list of Dominican words and slang that I have picked up, and hopefully help you guys out: 

1. "Chin" - A little bit
2. "Colmado" - A small convenience store
3. "GuaGua" - A bus

9. "En Olla"- I'm broke
10. "Broma" -Joke
