I am confused because in the DR, people teach me street Dominican and love it when I say it. Especially, at the colmado I go to. The guy teaches me street Dominican all the time. My wifey teaches me street Dominican too and thinks it is funny when I talk like that and gets all happy and giddy when I talk like that. As soon as I master some of it, she teaches me more and more. So, it is wrong to speak it?

I bet your wife thinks you sound cute and that's why she teaches you more. And also, most Dominicans enjoy hearing people with other accents speak and even more if they try to speak slang.

It's important to learn slang because you'll be able to understand more and communicate better locally but you don't want it to be the only way for you to speak Spanish.
