It’s crazy how he’s been imitating the DR accent in his Spanish for so long it’s bleeding over into when he speaks English.

Don’t forget “bueno” for okay

I’m a native speaker and all of this is trueee 🙌🏽❤️❤️

It's really inspiring how you never been to any Spanish speaking country yet you had ( and still have ) this lit spirit inside of you, Keep it up!

I. Love. Filler. Words! Great way to sound more native

I use "Como sea" as well for "Anyway."😊

"Dizque" is a contraction of "Dice que". Dizque me llamó = Dice que me llamó (Aparentemente o presuntamente alguien me llamó)

Excelente video bro In DR we also use Jevi (heavy) to Say Cool

I'm Spanish native speaker and I'm really improving my English vocab with your videos! I didn't even know how to say enésima vez in English! I love in the way you learned Spanish bringing the language to your everyday life. In my case I had to move to Australia, otherwise I think I wouldn't have been able to learn the language. Mucho exito hermano. Un saludo :)

This is a great video!! We learn all of the proper Spanish everywhere, but it's nice to learn slang words you can't learn in a book.

¡¡Te agradezco mucho!! For not teaching curse words. I am a 18 year old Africam American who prayed to learn Spanish last year. I live a Christian Life and it's good that you don't curse. I speak at an intermediate level and I use Spanish to tell others the gospel. Which is Jesus paid the price for our sins that we wouldn't have to go to hell for them if we decide to follow him and repent of our sins and way. I hope God moves in your life.

Stop it sir...I’m Dominican and you look like my cousins. You’re Dominican

I have been watching your videos for the last couple of days. They are very good. Most of the expressions are spot on, like the many ways to say “so”. In spanish “y punto” is actually used for when you are leaving no room for argument, similar to saying “that’s final” in English. “En punto” is actually the expression used for “on the dot”. Some of us also say “en serio” when we are trying to say for real.

Me encanta esta segment! Muchas gracias! ❤️

In the DR we say "vale" all the time too, super common to say that here, it's more of a Dominican-American thing not to say "vale" but we use it a ton here

I like your blogs. I just ran across them today. Keep doing what you're doing. You will help so many people. Thanks

I appreciate your channel because you seem to REALLY CARE that we get this! That is very motivating. It makes ME care MORE since you seem to believe in us💜💜👏🏾👍🏾🤗

Mucho gracias señor. Estoy Aprendiendo español y tú tienes mucho información. Excelente

Ricky, you have been tremendously helpful as a Spanish teacher. Besides which, you are generous and gifted. I look forward to your blogs every week. Keep em coming bro, y que DIOS me ló bendiga.

Manito you are evolving, becoming more and more Latino as you immerse yourself in the culture. I love it 🥰. Another great video.

Brother this video was exactly what i was looking for. Gracias 🙏🏾

I appreciate that you teach how to speak casual but not dirty. I was wondering for a while if Diablo is a bad word thanks for clarifying! If I want to learn the bad words I listen to my friends or my favorite traperos lol

love your vids bro 💯

Thanks for this. This video is amazing.

Your content is incredible man ! I wish you the best, thank you for putting this work in! Love from a frenchie in Dubai 😘

This is amazing! Thank you for this..im really just starting to learn spanish

Great video! Buen trabajo como siempre! Bendiciones a ti 🙏😍

Estoy aprendido español y tus videos me ayuda. ¡Gracias!

Dude, this is sssooooooo helpful - no sabes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I speak Spanish fluently which I have learned over the years and speak comfortably every day.. Having mastered English and Frech over my lifetime, learning Spanish came quite naturally.... ....For me, the nuances you've highlighted in this publication may seem of little value to a novice student, but once you become at ease enough to entertain discussions related to any (common) topic, the one thing missing is fluidity. This video has proven invaluable as I NOW, consider myself fluent gracias a ti guey! En serio, muchisimas gracias hermano!!!!!

I noticed all your experience with my language, because without even notice it I every single day tend to used this expressions xD Good job!

Muy bien hecho! El video esta repleto de minucias del idioma español! Thanks for sharing!

I heard or read somewhere that the sound that you make when you are thinking is produced when your tongue is resting/relaxing; that resting sound is different in various languages because each language has a different 'resting' spot of the tongue in your mouth. So in English we say "umm" because that's the sound our mouth makes when the tongue is in its "resting" position in English. In Spanish the "resting" sound is different ("emm") because tongue rests in a different position for someone whose native tongue is Spanish. I'm not sure if that's 100% true but it makes sense!

BROOO I love this video. So dope.

Bayside Marketplace. Just visited this place in Miami a couple of weeks ago while on vacation ! It's pretty neat especially the marina part. Thanks for the video

This was great. Super helpful. Thanks man

Thanks so much! I was wondering about “O sea”

Que neatido ! Cool video! Thank you, still learning.

Tu eres lo mejor Ricky 👍🏽 este video fue muy efectivo

Very helpful thanks

¡Gracias! Very helpful.

Great idea for a video, very useful!

I Knw I am late but great video!! I work around a lot of people that speak Spanish and I hear these words a lot!! It also verifies words I already learned.

Bro I watch your channel like tv now. You giving away all the sauce....

Thanks very much!

Bra jobb! (Good job) So happy to see you have more followers these days. You make great videos, as always keep it up! You're helping so many people.

I love urr spanish 😂❤, new subscriber

I'm not fluent and still learning but I've also heard "padre" or "chido" for when something's cool. I it's used some places in Mexico I believe.

Así es 👍chevere de verdad

Sooooo helpful!

Awesome video as always I always say como I think I use it too much 😂 yo soy un nuevo subscriber a este canal y me gustan mucha tus videos

Ive been living so far from home and this made me remeber the stuff that i havent said living here

AWESOME. THANKS

Muy bien! Gracias!

I loved your videos, since I descovered your Channel I have learned the language with you. plz could you do a blog in English with FILLER WORDS’ when people talk they say I was like , me being like I just was like I’m like I don’t understand that filler words .

I dont speak spanish but i really want to learn and i dont know where to start!

Very helpful! Gracias

¡Que consejos! Gracias para los tips. Es mi meta hablar más natural. Gramática es importante. Sin embargo, hablantes nativos de cualquier lenguaje hablan incorrecto de vez en cuando o usan "filler words." Son muy inteligente. ¡Felicidades! ¡Mucho exitoso! Bendiciones.

Thanks for these videos bro, they’ve helped me out a lot with improving my Spanish, I can’t wait till I’m fluent!! One challenge that I’ve had is learning and understanding phrases that do not translate well to English in literal form. For example, “me tocó verla” = “I had to see her” but literally means “I touched myself to see her.” (FYI - I heard this from a Mexican speaker) Any advice or resources that you know of for learning phrases such as this?? Thanks again, sigue adelante bro!! Saludos desde Maryland!!

Wow, great video!! Super, super helpful! Thank you. I have one favor to ask though? can u list these words underneath your video. I'm a visual learner, and it really helps me to see the words spelled out.

My man Ricky always reminds me of K'Jon especially cuz of his song Miami and with Ricky living in Miami but he also looks alot like him

Love your videos... I binge watch them lol. How would you say something like "you feel me?" Would that be like, me entiende? My boyfriend is from Nicaragua and not sure if this is a Nica thing but he says "oistes" after practically every sentence. Also a Nica word I love for "cool" is tuani. We live in Panama and the word "dale" seems to be used a lot for "okay". Also, not sure if this is Nica or just that I have a weird boyfriend, but he exclaims "que barbaro/a" or "que barbaridad" all the time and it always make me laugh cause who even says "how barbaric!" in English haha!? But he uses it to mean like "how crazy". Keep up the amazing content!

Gracias . Este video me ayudó

Wow so.good!

Aprendí algunas cosas. Gracias de Perú!

Que listo!

in RD we also say hevi for cool. but pretty good job! chevere y bacano too

Something curious about the word "este" in Japanese. It is "etto". Which if you think about it it sounds pretty similar to the word "este" in Spanish.

I always say encendio for lit and manin for like what's up bro "que lo que manin" but if I wana say like "hey my bro. What's up" I'll say like "oye mi pana." o "oye mi tipo"

In Perù, I have also heard :: ""PUES"", & often just added at the end of a sentence.

Gracias ..&. Perfecto....These are alot of my everyday filler words. I say," so, what, ok, hmmm, and a few other words alot.... Mi amigo wanted to teach me some curse words and I said the same to them I wasn't interested in learning curse words in Spanish.... I try to keep a clean mouth👍👍👍.

What are the best conversations to have (informally) besides the basic one they teach in school?

I’m half Mexican but I lost all my Spanish when I moved away from my Spanish speaking family as a child but even then I didn’t know it that well. So I’ve been relearning it basically all my life lol

Hey bro Lucky I could hear you because I couldn’t see you Pero me gusta muchísimo este vídeo muchas gracias y Amor de Australia 🇦🇺

Very good..! Transaction...!

Bien video

Y...socio y asere en Cuba para bro

Me encanta sus vídeos. Yo hablo un chin y me ayudan.

🔥🔥🔥

"O sea" is your favorite filler word. LOL.

Proud Dominican here! What made you choose to learn Dominican Spanish for use?

Great, helpful video. Do you have the ability to put in titles? I'm phonetically putting these words into my translator, trying to get it right. Thanks!

Where are you in this video? Its soo beautiful 😍😍

OMG OMG OMG I feel stuck at i speak a whole lot of espanol pero NO COMPRENDO when they respond I DONT HAVE A CLUE because its to fast or they are meshing the word AND saying it fast like you did alot on this video🤣 but it was fun answering or responding before you bcuz i knew the words. But i really have no idea how you became fluent when they are speaking so fast.

I have never heard #9 in my life. I'm going to have to ask my parents about that.

👍👍

I call these words "crutch words" or sentence fillers. Muletillas en español! Important little words... 😆

en Honduras 🇭🇳 Cool= macizo 😎 Gracias por un otra bueno video

Hey, people..I use" no le pare"

👍

I had the Spanish word supuestamente en mi mente este mañana y yo le traducté .. it's supposedly ! 🤙🤙

Hhaha its actually a little funny because most of these i use in eglish and even before i startes learning spanish i didnt know they were classed as spanish words Btw whwre u walking around miami?

Eres un campeón hablando español. Si fueras a Santiago de Cuba, en Cuba, por supuesto, you would feel it like home, independent of politics.

Do you think 'dique' is a shortening of of 'dice que' or 'se dice que'? They seem to mean similar things.

It would be my luck to confuse ush! (oosh!) with uf! (ooff!) and insult someone! 😆

I understood to say "do it like so" would be "hacer como asi"
