Yes this works
!!! Seriously though, spend as much time surrounded by people who do not speak English, which therefore forces you to speak what Spanish you do know and you will suprisingly increase your vocabulary very quickly. Dominicans are the most patient people I have ever met and will never make fun of someone's attempt to learn their language. Taking formal Spanish classes at the same time would help you learn the proper grammar and structure of the language.
P.S. When I was first learning Spanish I put post it notes all over my office with things like the days of the week, numbers, months, etc. - things that were easy to learn by quick glance! I also found the best way to remember a word was to try and use it as many times as possible in sentences after learning it and then it really sinks in.
