Can anybody understand dominicans?
I was watching some videos on youtube with dominicans speaking and it sounds like a whole other language has. I've read that alot of native spanish speakers cannot understand dominicans when they speak in ther own dialect of spanish.

Every country has its own accent. Even in English, many people from other countries have a very difficult time understanding southerners from the USA. I was listening to a conference in English that was being simultaneously translated into Spanish. I noticed when a southerner spoke in the case studies, the Spanish translations hesitated or didn't translate what they said.
So if you are not familiar with Dominican Spanish, it will be very hard to understand.
Katy here already gave you a very accurate answer, I personally have no problems understanding Dominicans beyong those posed by slang, which the exact same problem they'd have if they heard me talking to a fellow countryman in our native slang, and since most of us attended school and are able to speak a more "undertandable" version of our language I don't consider that variety to be the hardest to grasp.
