Description
Dominican Spanish Word of the Day is a word-a-day language learning app for the colorful dialect of Spanish spoken in the Dominican Republic!
This app isn't your typical word-a-day app. Every word is presented along with a thorough English definition, plus a sound recording of that word spoken by a native speaker. Many words give etymology and an example in a sentence with the translation. You can always revisit words from past days too, so you won't forget them.
If you're tired of easy or uninteresting words of the day, this app is for you. Dominican Spanish Word of The Day provides useful, every-day, real-life words that are probably passed over in school but are actually used very frequently.
It's perfect for Spanish learners who have or want to gain advanced knowledge of Spanish, and want to be able to converse in everyday colloquial language. This app is also great for fluent and even native speakers who want to refresh and expand vocabulary and learn more.
The app is geared towards words used among Dominicans, but it is also applicable for Puerto Rico and anywhere that has large Caribbean Spanish-speaking populations, like New York City.
The large variety of words cover all different aspects of Dominican vocabulary, expressions, pronunciation, music, dance, food, culture, and history!
Learn Spanish and something new about the DR every day you use this app, guaranteed!

A very fun app. 1 word a day, defined and used in a sentence. Mi amiga Dominicana has heard all the words before and usually defined exactly as the app does. Fun to look through with her. PS I'm only through the first 13 words but so far so good.

They claim these words are used exclusively by dominicans when in fact many other Hispanic countries use them.
This app was written by gringos. Today's word (4/18/09) is Terco, they say is the same as Estornudo which really means Sneeze. The word they should have used is Testarudo. Have to study your Spanish guys.
Not too bad

Ive heard my fam. Say these phrases and they're straight from "el campo" so far its been all dominican phrases, unless u read the meaning of the word in a sentence it probably wouldnt make any sense to anyone else, this app " ta' heavy" lol.....
Great, very fun, educational

The last reviewer is completely wrong in two ways. First, the app description clearly says it's geared towards Dominican words but applicable to some other Spanish-speaking places. It absolutely does not say exclusively dominican. Second, all of the words are at least primarily used in the DR, or have a unique meaning, pronunciation, or other cultural significance unique to the DR.
