I support you 100%. Proud of you! I just did the same thing -quit my FA job and currently planning to move to DR. 🇩🇴
Mudate para acá para DR 🇩🇴. Te esperamos con los brazos abiertos. Siempre nos da gusto recibir personas que amén la cultura.
CONGRATULATIONS, FAM!!! I'm happy for you!! And extremely proud of you for striving to live your dream! 👊🏾
Glad to hear it bro! You deserve nothing but the best. Keep up the hard work👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Im an expat living in DR with my kids. I love what you do. I’m learning Spanish everyday. It’s been great for me you’ll love it.
Me encanta este video ! I love that you also share your beliefs and allow God to order your steps! Cant wait to see what God does in and through your channel! It has inspired me so much and I hope to take lessons with you soon!
Supporting you in whatever decision you make! No more lost time!
Congratulations!! Good luck and all the best!
Totalmente estoy de acuerdo ese aconsejo: consulta Díos ante todo. Me da alegría de que mencionaste eso. No tomes una decisión sin el Señor. Estoy orgullosa de ti Ricky. 🇩🇴
Hablas español tan bien que hasta tu ingles a veces tiene algo de un acento.
@ i think you just have a lisp so it sounds like an accent but you have a normal American accent with a lisp. except for when you say "planes" 😆
it's a great accomplishment you've achieved to master another language with all the distractions around. I'm a little older than you, so it's a little harder for me, but you have inspired me to learn Spanish.
Congrats!! So awesome for you to do what you love. Always follow your heart and soul. May peace love and abundance continue to fill your day💚
Oye gracias compai, me encanta tu blog.
im so so proud of you i wish you the best , i'm Dominican i send you lots of blessing i live in the states for 50 years q Dios te bendiga hermano
This is awesome I proud of you go Ricki 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It seems like God is opening the door for you. I’m confident He’ll continue to lead you and you’ll go when the time is right. Wherever He leads, you’ll be prosperous and safe!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Bro. Proud of you man. I made a similar move in 2010. Decided to step out on faith and left my 9-5 for a entrepreneurial pursuit for 8 years. Wasn’t always easy but God provided along the way. I was able to do a lot of things that my other friends and family couldn’t because I had more FLEXIBILITY. Not that I was a millionaire, but I was able to be at every one of my kids events , doc appts etc. I’m glad you speak up about your relationship with Christ. Welcome to the 30’s. I just completed 39 years on the 7th of December and am looking at 40. New perspectives, new dreams. I Pray God fulfills his will in your life Philippians 1:6. Much love bro from Louisiana. Last bit, I was just in Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena the last 2 weeks. Loved it bro 🇨🇴
Looking forward to watching your videos and learning more Spanish. Been watching your videos since the pandemic started. I appreciate what you do and im glad your putting in more time to help us. I travel a few times a year to Spanish speaking countries next up is Columbia. Been going to DR for almost 20yrs
Amigo!!!!! Yaaaaasssss!!! Estoy muy orgulloso de usted! Qué Dios le bendiga en todo. La clase, pues, tome mi dinero.
¡Enhorabuena! You are going to do great things!! God bless you as He orders your steps.👍🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Yay!! Thats amazing. God first! He will always lead you right! I think that would be so neat if you moved to DR.
The classes tho ! Im excited!!
Positive vibes your way ! Can't wait to go on this new journey with you ! Its Nothing but UP from here 💓💓
Congrats!!! It’s your body!!! Geaux live your best life!!! Chance it all the way!!!
Heyyyy.... I recently found your channel, and I absolutely love your vibe!!!
Happy Holidays!!!
Buena suerte, feliz cumpleaños y feliz navidad Ricky.
Rick. . . interesting how you are a native English speaker, yet at the 7:50 marker in the video you mention that you do not know how to say ''me apasiona'' in English. As a native English speaker with a decent Spanish fluency, I completely understand. At times, I forget words in English and also Spanish slips out when I am speaking with an all-English audience. It is refreshing to hear how this happens to other bilinguals. I think these occurrences are not easily understand by ''some'' monolinguals.
Mi vecina es dominicana y amo a esta señora de 65 años y practica español conmigo todos los días. Ella está en la República Dominicana ahora mismo para Navidad. I love that you put God first !!! My Chicago brotha I appreciate you and I support you 💯.!!!!!! I wanna be 1 of the 30 students ✊🏽
Definitely do that! Follow your pasion manito , my gf and I are youngings just now going full time on UA-cam. It will pay off in the end!
Me and My wife quit the Fire departament in Baltimore after 10 years and moved to Puerto plata. We've been here for a year, we love it!
You are a inspiration for young black men (and everyone who wants to learn) everywhere
Awesome move !!! I speak some Spanish, but not fluently. I've been considering the D.R. move for a few years since visiting there, and I have family connections. I travel for work and my birthdays in January too... God is the source for believers, don't worry for anything then. I look forward to lessons.
I haven't moved because I haven't figured out how to support myself there. I'm a truck driver here would want something else to do there, and the rules on residency, real estate...etc.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 good luck in your endeavors
Yesssss can’t wait to see your availability been wanting to get back into lessons!
Congratulations!!!! I'm newly Suscribed and I Am So Glad I Did!!! Once your programs/courses get started I'm signing up for All of Them!!! I have always wanted to learn Dominican Spanish(being from NJ)and your the only one out here actually giving us the real dub thanks for all you do Great Video AS USUAL!!! ya tu sabes klk! 👍👍👍✔✔✔👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
#KlkMiGente
Este canal es mi favorito para aprender español porque los videos tuyos no me hacen aburrido. Buena suerte con todo.
I've been a fan of yours for some time, so I really hope you just follow your hear man! Have fun doing what you love.
Wow bro. That’s amazing. I can’t wait to learn from you.
This is amazing bro. Keep going I’ve been watching you for a least years, and you’ve grown a lot. Much respect 💪🏽
¡Felicidades! Que tengas todo la fortuna del mundo en tu segunda acto. Y que visites España. Visite Barcelona hace 2 años - es súper bonito, divertido y the comida!!! Que tu futuro sea brillante!
As someone that is vaccinated, I still understand why someone would be apprehensive. I don't think it should be mandated to become vaccinated. But still stay safe, its good to see someone chasing their dreams.
Hey sir, I agree with your sentiment even though I am a traditional Catholic. One should not have to risk side effects from a jab in favor of a job. Many relatives of mine had adverse side effects, as far as I could tell, I had a mild RONA infection and got over it quite well. Mexico to me seems like a free country in terms of this whole medical thing and their temporary residence program is easy to obtain. ¡Que Dios te bendiga!
Your body your decitions, I fw that bro💯👏🏼✊🏽
Aye que bueno! Dios se bendiga. 🙏
First all, Ricky its pretty dope that you are sharing this. I've been subscribed for awhile now, Ive enjoyed your videos as I am on my personal journey of learning Spanish. It is a passion of mine as well. Looking forward to what you will be working on. As far as DR, Yea pray and listen to God, and know what matters to you and see how life would be there, like you said by talking to another American who lives there, maybe also find out the challenges of being unvaccinated there and how that would effect the quality of life. And how their hospital system runs there. I have looked a bit into PR's hospitals and I didnt hear many good things. Maybe stay for a month or two and see if you like the life there. If not you can always come back. Best wishes!
Thanks TJ! I appreciate that and your long time support! There is definitely a lot to consider, but I won't make any decisions until God gives me peace about it. In 2013 my plan was to move to PR and I'm glad I didn't with all the crazy hurricanes and earthquakes. So I know better than to just go because I want to. Good luck with PR though. It's still a beautiful place and if you go to the right spot, you won't even really be effected by the tropical storms and all.
Saludos y te brindo! Felicidades parcero
Proud of you 🥺 such an inspiration
Felicitaciones por este nuevo capítulo en tu vida!! Estoy emocionado de ver crecer tú y tu canal! Que Dios te bendiga!!
Hello Ricky!! All the best in this new initiative. Un fuerte abrazo, hermano.
How cool is it you got to travel to all those places? Rad!
No puedo esperar para tu curso Ricky! Te aprecio mucho, Dios lo bendiga. Love from NYC 💓
I feel the same way I support you 100% thanks for the support of my country. Am leaving ny too I won't get vacinate. U are a good role model. Am excited for u god bless u y ya tu save k lo k. I never coment on nobody love u bro
Excelente bro que Dios siempre te acompañe y te apoyamos en las decisiones que tomes bendiciones para ti y como digo en Instagram eres en negro con más flow que he visto y pal colmo eres de los nuestros 🙌🏽🇩🇴🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
The channel Norberis R. is owned by a Dominican who has lived in both the U.S. and the DR and she recently relocated there with her family, and if I’m not mistaken, she also provides services to help others move there as expats long term and short term. I’m considering living there short term myself, but of course, gotta pray first! Good luck, and love your channel. Excited to see the growth that’s coming!
Mucho respeto por seguir tu pasión. Me inspiras a ser mejor en español, como a tantos otros. Amas el RD como yo. Dios ya te ha otorgado su gracia. Solo mira la cantidad de seguidores que tienes. Se bendecido 🇩🇴
Hey me alegra mucho saber que tengas ganas de conocer mi pais. Llevo viendo tus videos por mas de un año y los usé mucho para inspirar a mis estudiantes cuando enseñaba Español. Es muy inteligente de tu parte consultar con una experta antes de mudarte. Si puedo recomendarte algo, es que también veas los videos de Educated Travel en YT. Él es un expat (creo que es de los EEUU) que lleva mucho tiempo viviendo aqui y hace documentales y asesoría sobre nuestro país. Como dominicano, he notado que él explica de forma muy realista lo que se siente vivir aqui y cómo es nuestra sociedad. Él habla de lo bueno y lo malo. Creo que sus videos te pueden dar una visión mas aterrizada/down to earth, de cómo es la vida de un expat aqui, junto con consejos muy útiles. Bendiciones!!
Me has inspirado con español, estilo, y su vida compartes con la gente. Sigas siguiendo tu corazón hermano.
Que Dios te bendiga en tu camino! Siempre me han encantado tus videos!! Cuándo vi tus primeros Videos hace años, me sorprendí mucho que había otro americano aprendiendo español y eso también me motivó hacer mis videos en UA-cam! Tu eres una gran inspiración. Yo también quiero enseñar español a otros pero se me ha ido la motivación para el español y rezo a Dios que me me devuelva esa pasión para el español. Porque eso es lo que me apasiona de verdad, igual que tu!! Buena suerte !! 😇
Tenemos el mismo cumpleaños amigo 🥳🥳🥳 13 de Enero 🎂🎂🎂🎂 felicitaciones 🎊🎉🎈 y bendiciones 🕊 por sus planes futuros 🤍
Good for you doing your own thing! I left my job this year myself before this craziness of mandates. Wishing you the very best. DR is awesome.
@ I live in NYC sadly, but one foot out the door 😂 self employed now working from home. I'm Dominican and go often to visit family. Wishing you the best of luck! Happy new year!
you have all the characteristics and qualities of a true Dominican
Felicidades def gonna cop the course
Jajaja mi loco. Yo toy prendiendo el inglés contigo, sigue así por eso siempre lo veo, los videos por que me gustan y avece aprendo palabras en inglés que tú sabe decir bien, y así uno lo habla con confianza
Congratulations and Thank You for your videos!
You are wise to pray and consult God about your decisions. Please don't let the problems and distractions of life keep you from continuing on that path.
Your life will be much better for it and the benefits of that example for your family and others are more significant than you will be able to comprehend.
In whatever the Lord leds you to do. We have your back 💯💯💯
Aquí estoy yo, como siempre. Felicidades bro✊🏾. Esperando para tus clases
My friend works for the airlines and she is leaving too. She buying a home in Mexico and Ghana. She is done with the states.
Ricky, enjoy the DR and I really enjoy your videos. I am saving my money and want to move to Lima,Peru to teach English and learn Spanish
tambien estoy emocionada a ver nuevos skits
Bendiciones para ti 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 eso es bien por ti. Muy alegras por ti …. ♥️♥️♥️ gracias por los todos porque tu ayúdame mucho.
Respect brother.
You have a gift!! Love your life I’m renting a 3 bedroom house is Santo Domingo Este for $200 a month that’s definitely where I’m going full time in a couple years
Good 4 u Ricky. ❤ I won't get it either and my husband is a doctor. He's been trying to convince me lol 😆 I won't fold!
im proud of you, im glad you staying true to your faith. Im in NYC currently and im moving down south because of this mandate. TMH God will always make a way for those who put their faith in him! I'll be praying for you mio
I am going to the DR for 2 months in febuary. I will probably return frequently. Did you have trouble getting a bank account, credit card, debit card from a local bank? Is your plan to just overstay your visa? or actually get lagal status there? Looks like the fees aren't bad to overstay so that is what I will do.
Que bueno hermano! He pasado más tiempo en Costa Rica que en Canadá. Canada tiene muchos problemas, pero pero tus vídeos me inspiran para sentirme más cómodo con el español. 🙏🏿
Bruh, hurry up and wait was my LIFE for 20yrs in the military 😂
Great video, thank you for everything, seriously. Take care!!!
Que Díos te bendiga en tu nueva iniciativa
Estoy con acuerdo de ti. Te deseo lo mejor Ricky. Soy muy feliz que tu mencionaste Dios y que tu no hagas una decision sin el Senor. Me respecto esto mucho de verdad. Honestly, I'm in situation too like this. I got a study exchange in Mexico and my country is banning outward travel so its looking like I probably can't go and its such a shame.
I learned Spanish every for 5 years just so I would get a chance like this to use my Spanish in Mexico. I believe if God willed it, it will happen so pray for me brother, I love you and your videos, I learn so much from you always.
Muchas gracias Mano y God Bless you!
Ricky! Ricky! Ricky! Felicidades!!!! Tienes mis oraciones contigo siempre. Ojala que Dios siempre esta contigo.- la maestra Sharon
Life goals! Living vicariously through you bro.....I will be staying tuned for updates on the lessons on January. Wishing you the best. We really appreciate the quality and consistency of your content. I am have followed you on YT for quite a while. 😃 Feliz Navidad

Love you bro! Same here I had to flee from peru 🇵🇪 because they’re discriminating people there now and moved back to my home country Barbados 🇧🇧
No quería inyectarme tampoco pero no me quedaba de otra. Tuve que hacerlo para poder estudiar de extranjero. Voy pa España en enero y que dios te guíe en tu camino.
Estoy muy emocionada para ti. Felicidades mi gente 🎉🎊😎🤩🥳

Power to you brother
Exito con tus projectos ✨
Amigo, que te Dios te bendiga! Eres un hombre muy amable y estoy sentio fortunado a conocer tú
Tan orgullosa de ti hermano👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🍾🎉
Una pregunta, quisiera vivir en Centroamérica por, tal vez, el resto de mi vida. Quiero saber cómo se hace para ir. No sé cómo puedo proveer o trabajar. Entonces, ¿qué recomiendas que hagamos los que tienen el deseo de vivir en Latinoamérica pero no saben cómo pueden ganarse la vida?
Rad. Great post.
