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.
Ajajajaj that happens to me but with Spanish from España 😭😭
It's happening to me. I love the language and culture
Don’t forget “bueno” for okay
I’m a native speaker and all of this is trueee 🙌🏽❤️❤️
Gracias Ariana!
MP South-Blue esteeee... sip muchísimas veces. “Este” es lo que sería en inglés “ummm”
@@mpsouth-blue1327 yes I do
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'll be going soon to those countries. I'm so excited for them. I'm glad that you like my content as well! There is so much more to come.
Rickie Walls best wishes, have fun!
@ I'd be excited ABOUT going to those countries not FOR them. I know a lot of people in your generation say "for" when they mean "about". Just like people wrongly say "where I'm at" instead of "where I am". What passes for good English these days is pathetic.
Plllllleeeeeaaaase please for the love of God, go look at her videos after reading this comment.
For real😁
I use "Como sea" as well for "Anyway."😊
Lo que sea. Whatever
I. Love. Filler. Words!
Great way to sound more native
"Dizque" is a contraction of "Dice que". Dizque me llamó = Dice que me llamó (Aparentemente o presuntamente alguien me llamó)
Sí, esto lo sé. Gracias por compartir! : )
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
Excelente video bro
In DR we also use Jevi (heavy) to Say Cool
Yes. That was one of the words that I left out, but I'll add it to my Dominican slang video.
Along with pila, vaina, tremendo, y más. Gracias!
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!
That's very interesting. I would have never guessed that at all.
¡¡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.
Thanks for checking out my content. I always have God on my mind, so I try to behave despite what others may want me to do. God bless bro. Keep using your Spanish for good!!!
Love it am dominican also praying to preach the gospel in english , my kids are biligual and use a biligual bible they read spanish but speak english 😂
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 :)
Hey Alejandro. Thanks! Enésima in English is "umpteenth" I know it's weird, but that's it lol
And Australia! Wow. That's very far, but I'm that I could help you and that you have pushed yourself to learn English. Keep it up!
Wow, I never knew how enésima was spelled. I just know my mom uses we she's frustrated with me. 😂
It's always the simpler words I get stuck on. I forget to use filler words and feel like I overuse así que because entonces sounds formal to me. Even o sea sounds strange and I'm not sure if it's less common in Mexico particularly or if my mom who prefers to say es decir and quiero decir.
I was taught "o sea" in highschool and it always felt wrong. Is it a Spain thing or just my mom not using it enough with me?
Stop it sir...I’m Dominican and you look like my cousins. You’re Dominican
😆
He's a Black Americano
LMAO
You never know spain bought a lot of Africans to Mexico it’s a lot of black latinos in america that don’t know they have Spanish blood.
love your vids and energy!
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.
“Y punto” = PERIOD
Period!
love your vids bro 💯
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.
Thanks! I actually don't even consider most of these slang. They're just filler words for the most part. I'm going to be doing slang videos after I do my accent videos.
Me encanta esta segment! Muchas gracias! ❤️
BROOO I love this video. So dope.
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.
Si , that´s how we use it..also for "nice" for example:
Oh that is a really nice car= oh ese es un carro/coche muy chido
Quality content! Love the scenery too
Thanks so much! I was wondering about “O sea”
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!
This is amazing! Thank you for this..im really just starting to learn spanish
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
Manito you are evolving, becoming more and more Latino as you immerse yourself in the culture. I love it 🥰. Another great video.
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💜💜👏🏾👍🏾🤗

Estoy aprendido español y tus videos me ayuda. ¡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
Yeah, I have been battling myself on teaching bad words or not because they are used so much, but I opted out. lol
Muy bien hecho! El video esta repleto de minucias del idioma español! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea for a video, very useful!
Mucho gracias señor. Estoy Aprendiendo español y tú tienes mucho información. Excelente

Tu eres lo mejor Ricky 👍🏽 este video fue muy efectivo
Eyy gracias!!
Gracias . Este video me ayudó
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 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.
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
como grande facilidade de aprender las idiomas . enormamente talentoso . Felicidades Joven .
Great video! Buen trabajo como siempre! Bendiciones a ti 🙏😍
Gracias Maya!! :)

Thank you!!
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
Haha yes como is sooo common. lol. Thanks for subscribing. There is so much more to come!
In Perù, I have also heard :: ""PUES"", & often just added at the end of a sentence.
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.
Thank you. I'm growing for sure. I'm going to keep trying to give great and helpful content.
Eyyyy pratar du svenska?
Isabel Gröndahl japp 🤗
I dont speak spanish but i really want to learn and i dont know where to start!
Diego Diaz learning common phrases is a good way to start
The best advice I have for you is in this video, bro.
ua-cam.com/video/JILOjqY63SY/v-deo.html
At the en of the day, if you want to learn, you'll do all you can to make it a part of your everyday life.

Diego Diaz Hellotalk is a language learning buffet you can speak native Spanish speaker from every Spanish speaking country. Also you can French, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
Diego Diaz You can also try Duolingo and Memrise (they both are helpful and useful apps) and can help you start from there with basics,verbs, forming sentences, etc. Hope this helps! 🙂
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 .
What are the best conversations to have (informally) besides the basic one they teach in school?
Wow so.good!
Que listo!
Aprendí algunas cosas. Gracias de Perú!
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!
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.
That is pretty interesting.
It's more like "ee-to" with a stretched "e" sound.
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.
They are in the description. Thanks for watching! I'm planning on doing a similar video!
¡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!!
Look up spanish idioms that may help you. Also download the Hellotalk app to speak with spanish natives all spanish speaking countries.
Thanks. I've been extremely busy with my training and haven't been able to make videos, but more are coming next month.
The best advice that I can give you is to learn from experience. You can look up idioms (modismos) online, but I learned all of y colloquial phrases from experience. Sometimes you'll feel dumb for not knowing somethings, but it's the only way to really learn. Let me know if you have any more questions. I'd be glad to help. an sorry for taking so long to respond.
Black Panther Thanks for the tip bro
Rickie Walls No problem, I understand. Thanks for the advice, I’ll take heed!!
The 'tocó' means like, 'it was by chance/luck/obligation' not toco as in tocar, to touch. Your translation is still correct.
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"
Gracias Matt! I am always interchanging stuff.
I've always used encendio too
It's neat how diverse the Spanish language is. In Spain one would say 'que tal' and you can refer to a friend as 'tio'. My Colombian friends in London often start with 'que hubo?' which sounds more like q'ubo or 'que mas marica'. Every country has their 'way' and even within each country there are more variations again.
in RD we also say hevi for cool. but pretty good job! chevere y bacano too
Thanks. I'm aware of Jevi, I use it sometimes, but I forgot to mention it. I appreciate your feedback :)
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!
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👍👍👍.
Glad I could help : )
There is nothing wrong with knowing the curse words, because it's good to know when someone is angry at you, but using them is silly. There are so many words to express ourselves, why do we have to resort to those?
Rickie Walls True. For now I want to learn conversational words and speak the respectful part of the language first... lol I am sure with time those "other" words may be picked up... .Te seguí en IG hoy
Creo que te seguí pa tras lol. And I feel you. In between studying for my new job, I'm posting a sentence structure series and working on other videos. you'll see them .
Bien video
Buen video*
Very good..! Transaction...!
Thanks!
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 🇦🇺
Gracias lol
Y...socio y asere en Cuba para bro
I call these words "crutch words" or sentence fillers. Muletillas en español! Important little words... 😆
Me encanta sus vídeos. Yo hablo un chin y me ayudan.
me encantan*
y gracias por el apoyo. Tira pa'lante mano!
Verdad!!! Porque es más que uno video
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
I have never heard #9 in my life. I'm going to have to ask my parents about that.
Do you think 'dique' is a shortening of of 'dice que' or 'se dice que'? They seem to mean similar things.
🔥🔥🔥
Where are you in this video? Its soo beautiful 😍😍
I was at Bayside mall in Miami.
What’s the best way to learn Spanish I want to move there when I am 18 I’m not looking to be fully fluent in two year because I know that’s unrealistic but I’d like to be conversational maybe can anyone help me if tell me what the best way to learn on your own is ?
It's actually very realistic to be fluent in two years. I did it lol. Do you plan on teaching yourself
Proud Dominican here! What made you choose to learn Dominican Spanish for use?
I just love the sound of the dialect, the culture and everything. I need to find a Dominicana to marry. I sing bachata music too lol
Rickie Walls Like how I fell in love with the Cuban life and culture, music and everything! Lol!
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.
"O sea" is your favorite filler word. LOL.
At 1:05 are you saying Tanto? or no? Cómo se escribe la palabra que estás diciendo?
en Honduras 🇭🇳 Cool= macizo 😎 Gracias por un otra bueno video
Interesante. Tengo que aprender más español hondureño.
Bilingue Blogs ¡muchas felicidades mi hermano, hablas muy bien español! Cool=Macizo, tumbado, bestial, macanudo, pijudo, tuani, de miedo. Hay muchas en Honduras para esa palabra.
Hadid Mejía gracias por eso mi esposo es Catracho pero el no me hable in Espanol mucho entonces tengo que aprender en UA-cam
I had the Spanish word supuestamente en mi mente este mañana y yo le traducté .. it's supposedly ! 🤙🤙
👍👍
Hi, what’s your best way to learn spanish?..... I’ve been learning spanish for quite a while but seem to be making very little progress in my fluency like hearing and speaking it.
I have a video talking about that.
ua-cam.com/video/JILOjqY63SY/v-deo.html
This video explains it all if you are teaching yourself. The most important thing is to use it as much as possible. Don't just study for an hour a day then be done with it.
I understood to say "do it like so" would be "hacer como asi"
Where are u speaking from?
Question, how many years have you been speaking Spanish?
I've been speaking spanish for a long over 10 years. Started studying when I was 13.
