1. Take your learning seriously
2. Immerse yourself in the language
3. Study 1 dialect
4. Speak the target language often
5. Write down what you learn
I love seeing my people learning and speaking languages
Me too!! Thanks for watching my content!
Right? That's what I said.
Brianique Ishere your fine self
Brianique Ishere Why do people make everything about race? There are plenty of black people in Spanish speaking countries.
@@vr7142 because in this world everything is about race.
“I’m 24 & I’ve never been out of the country”. NOW LOOK AT YOU. Traveling the world and teaching us Spanish ♥️
One of the best ways to learn a language is to get into a relationship with someone who speaks that language and have them talk to you all the time . Trust me you'll learn quickly .
I am a bilingual and this is seriously amazing! I was born in Italy but, thanks to years of practice, I am extremely fluent in English. Now I am really successfully learning Spanish as well. The good thing about being able to speak many languages is that once you start learning, it is really easy to learn maaaany languages! So keep practicing guys! Luv u so much ❤
Sabia que eras italiano porque dijiste Espagñol jaja. But That is awesome that you l learned English. Congrats, because I know it is a difficult language to master. Keep up the great work.
I think the toughest thing about learning has been the dialects
Thank you Francesca and Ricky. I love your humble nature. Reminds me how great humanity really is. Que Dios les bendiga.
@@DreamsAreReal25 dios les bendiga 🙏
@@healthyandrew5294 Thank you.
It’s funny. I took 5 years of Spanish, and by the time I was done I spoke the language fluently, but I had issues understanding it when I was spoken to. Ive worked construction full time for 2 years, and I’ve been around Hispanic contractors the whole time. Just talking to them and listening I’ve learned more in 2 years than I did in 5 years of classes. Immersion really is the best way to learn a language. Now I speak and understand Spanish with no problems. I have a weird accent because I’ve learned from so many different dialects, but I don’t sound like an American just trying to speak Spanish anymore.
“You don’t speak English perfect” so true! Thanks for these tips
Ik this is off topic but ur eyebrows are goals af😂👌

This guy is legit. Language teachers need to be straight forward like this.
Practical, realistic, relatable advice for the common, busy person.

Yes start replacing your (English or native )words with your targeted language. Especially basic words like hi, bye , please, etc. The point is , allow the language to become apart of you, and adopt it as a new lifestyle. That way there is no resistance in becoming fluent.
I immersed myself in Spanish by watching telenovelas everyday. The same show so I could get accustomed to 1 accent until the show ended, then I'd have to get used to another accent. We have a Spanish speaking neighborhood but I was running a daycare and couldn't take other people's children around for selfish reasons. My friends laughed at me and asked if I learned a lot of love words and arguments but I learned a lot of phrases they didn't because telenovelas use language the way people talk to each other in everyday speech. I learned more this way than I learned in 3 & 1/2 years of study. I do want to say that all those years of conjugation were a LOT of help because I conjugated as I spoke without realizing I used the correct conjugation. So I would NEVER criticize that.
Also, if you use captioning you are reading, not listening. I know, I made that mistake and realized it after about a month. I would watch and come up with my own answers to what the characters were saying and see if I got it right. I was surprised that that actually worked. I got it right several times.
As a Dominican myself I certify that your Dominican Spanish is perfect! ✊🏼👌🏽
I’m learning Spanish currently, I’m already bilingual since I speak Hebrew, but I find that once you know one language, it’s soooo much easier to learn a new one.
🇦🇱☪️🇵🇸
Fuck israel
Esperó aprendas español:)
I hope you learn spanish:)
I'm so glad that I discovered your channel because I am half-Dominican , and I specifically would like to learn Dominican spanish. My mom was Dominican, but she passed away when I was little. I know some Spanish from family (mostly food lol) and school (the Spain type), but now I'm learning faster! Thank you!
I’m sorry for your loss
Hey Rickie,
It's nice to see other people who enjoy learning languages as much as I do.
Thanks for the tips ! Just to add on "immersing yourself in the language", one of the simplest things to do instantly is changing your phone language and all the apps will change as well (Uber, Netflix, Google Play, etc..).
It's really cool, and I remember the first time I changed it, it was funny coz I got really confused but then I got used to it.
Thanks again for the tips and continue following your languages passion !
Best wishes,
Omar
OBalfaqih Oh yes. I've been doing that for years. Good mention! I should have said that on here but it's second nature to me lol. Thanks for checking out the video.
It's okay, you have mentioned the main good ones in the video. Really enjoyed it, liked and subscribed to your channel ! All the best and thanks for your reply :D
OBalfaqih Thanks so much! I appreciate that. and I feel that if someone can take the time to not only watch my content but to respond to it then it is only right for me to respond ya know. 👍 there is more to come soon!
Thanks, and keep up all the good work :D
OBalfaqih thanks.
It's crazy they teach Castellano over there! You are correct, learn what you are likely to use.
Yes I go more in depth of the topic on one of my newer videos. Castellano isn't bad, it's just irrelevant.
This is so dope. I'm learning Colombian Spanish.
how’s it going?! i really wanna learn Colombian Spanish too :)
This video got me in surprised. I'm Dominican myself checking on how English people would get to learn Spanish and was drawn to your video because of various elements that suggest several aspects of the Dominican scene: the Reggae background beat, your Spanish, I would even dare to say you sort of speak English with the Dominican swagger which is pretty cool to watch. Great job, keep it up. You can be my friend if want to come down to the island some day.
Ulises José Corona de Jesús wow Thanks man. I would love to live there but I don't know if that'll ever happen. I know I will definitely visit some day.thanks for checking out the video. How'd you learn English?
I've been to the States a few times, and lived in the Internet since its origins so words snag and kind of stick with you over time.
...like your Spanish, and your channel, is excellent content for Spanish learners and lovers of culture.
Thank you for this. I've watched so many videos on this and yours has so many tips I've never heard. This really put a fire under me to start 💕
I just started learning Spanish last month and your videos are giving me life!!! Thank you and keep up the good work/content :)
Thank you young man. This helped me out a lot!
Thank you for these. I just started learning a few months ago because I want to expand my horizons and interact more with my local culture (I live in Albuquerque). These are things I'm doing instinctively. I have a book, a software, make my own flashcards, try to read books in Spanish, watch Spanish shows, watch kid's cartoons (Peppa Pig has an official Latin American youtube channel) and read all the local bilingual/Spanish ads. I also learned a lot of the food/cooking terms pretty quickly because I love to cook. It's all about the motivation, and I can now understand about 80% of those cartoons. LOL I recently discovered your channel and it's been super helpful. (A lot of culture stuff also is on the wonderful Buzzfeed's "Pero Like" channel and they have several cultures represented). Thank you for all you do!
I love the way that you enunciate. I think it’s a gift. I will try…
love your videos! they're fun and you give great tips!!
Gracias! I've been living in Mexico for three years now. Im allmost fluent. Keep up the good work.
pernell husband thanks! That's awesome! what took you to Mexico? I'm jealous haha.
A woman! My wife is from the Mexican state of Sinaloa. When you can, google La costa chico Mexico. Let me know what you think.
Love your enthusiasm Rickie man .
Lee Nobody gracias! I'm passionate about Spanish.
Great video. Yes! You are right about immersion. Spanish is such beautiful language. I have taken the opportunity to learn a second for granted for so many years. I am learning at a snails pace, but I am learning. Thank you for your vids.
I don’t know it very well but I know a decent amount and im trying to learn it fluently. My wife is from Guatemala and many of my friends are from Mexico and they couldn’t speak English very well and so I pick up on it. I love the Spanish language
LOVE YOUR TEACHING STYLE!!
Gracias.
Hello, greeting from Iraq, this is Eddie the guy you met on the plane. I wish all the best on anything you do.
Thanks Eddie. God bless you over there, man.glad that you can finally get back to your work.
wow Rickie your channel is awesome! Yo tambien estoy aprendiendo español y llevo casi dos años aprendiendo el idioma. Soy estadoudiense tambien y me encanata todas partes del español, como las comidas que hay, las culturas ricas, y sobretodo la gente. Es muy chevere ver una persona como yo que le gusta el español mucho y es motivado aprenderlo... buena suerte con todo amigo!
Taylor! sorry for the late response. All comments are important to me. Eres, como yo. debes ver mi nuevo video en el que hablo de libros que te ayudan a aprender gramatica y vocabulario. parece que tienes un buen dominio del idioma. cuanto tiempo tienes estudiando?
Ricky that good that you are speaking Spanish. Keep up the work San Jose Ca
Thanks man. I'm excited about getting fluent. I'm doing that immersion thang.
Great job & tips, tfs!!! 😊❤
Eres chingon, jovenazo.
I love the language and culture. My goal is to learn Spanish. Your content is great! Subscribed
Guys!! I know it’s nerve wracking trying to speak to people in a different language but at my work I have people who speak Spanish and it helps so much speaking to them! You got this y’all!
your videos are life savers because the things that i find hard to explain to people, you explain so perfectly.
Thank you. That's my goal. To put it in the simplest terms. Thanks for supporting the channel!
👍
Omg!! I laughed so hard with the "hijo de.." joke... Native Spanish speaker here 🙋🏻♀️ y por supuesto.. nueva suscriptora amigo! 🤘🏻
Enhorabuena Ricki por el canal! Me encanta el consejo #2, es fundamental para aprender un idioma! =)
Spanish with Vicente mil g racias mano! creo que si la gente entiende eso, va a poder aprender cualquier cosa.
These are legit tips. I have been doing the same and have improved really quickly. Especially the speaking and writing things down. Make friends as well. #kudos to you bro
Thanks man! I try. hopefully people actually use the tips.
Gracias buena idea 💡
When I immerse myself in Spanish it gives me a headache lol think I’m trying too hard.
THIS 😭😭
I’m proud of you Ricki
Awesome video, man! I'm a polyglot myself, and I enjoy watching people talk about Spanish (I'm Mexican-American and I speak Mexican Spanish lol.) Your Spanish sounds really good!
Thanks! I love watching videos of people speaking Spanish with different accents lol. I grew up learning Mexican Spanish because that was all that was around me, but I stuck with Caribbean after that. Thanks for checking out the video!! What languages do you speak?
You are so helpful!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much!
I'm 52 years old and I'm trying to learn Spanish for the first time ever. This video was so helpful and encouraging. Thank you@
sphynxboy2006 that's my goal. to motivate others to learn. it's a mind of matter type of thing just like anything else. Stay tuned for more and feel free to always ask any questions any time.
Very smart and wise young man!
Thank you. I just want to help others learn.
Im going to watch all your stuff
Love your last point. As a language student, I once made the mistake of saying tengo mierda instead of tengo miedo. It was absolutely not what I meant to say, but my mistake made the class laugh and we all had a good time in it. Mistakes teach us and I can assure that I will never do that again. JAJA
Great job!
Great advice and great video. Es fantastico a ver otros hombres negros de nuestro país aprendiendo un otro idioma. Felicitaciones!!! Tengo unos videos de mis aventuras con Español tambien.
Gracias! voy a pasar por tu canal! Este idioma bonito nos une a todo el mundo
I wish I could practice with you!! LOL Gracias por tu video!!
Thank you for this gift
Enzoy Richardson Thank you for tuning in! 👍
me gusta como ayudas a otros a aprender español, saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Me encanta el idioma y quiero que la gente sepa que es posible dominarlo. Gracias por ver mi contenido!
I love Spain and Cuban dialects! I incorporate both.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo amigo !
Gracias amigo! ¿Estás aprendiendo inglés?
No porque ya hablo ingles, ahora aprendo francés (actual 48%), comencé en enero de este año y espero terminar en dos meses mas. Tienes un excelente acento en español!
Hace tres años tengo estudiantes de NAU Arizona, que vienen a Costa Rica a aprender español, por periodos de 3,5 meses, 1.5 meses en verano. Seguimos en contacto!
Oh wow. Como lo aprendes tan rápido? Usas duolingo? Estoy aprendiendo portugues, hebreo, e italiano. hebreo es el más extraño. pero estoy aprendiendo poco a poco
Empece el 3 de enero 2017 y actualmente tengo racha de 57 dias, comienzo mi dia haciendo 20 a 60 puntos en Duolingo. Me parece que aprender un idioma, necesitas dedicarle al menos 15 minutos al dial. Ya empece a ver programas en frances, pero entiendo poco, espero a fin de año esta en un nivel similar al suyo en español.
Carlos Solera ah ok. pues suerte amigo. recomiendo que veas algunos videos en TH-cam también. Para aprender portugués uso TH-cam & duolingo. me gustan los dos.
Thank you bro. I just started. I'm on Duolingo and Practice makes Perfect.
Fantastico. La verdad.
Stephanie Hughes thanks! I'm glad to be able to help!
Thanks for posting
Thank you for watching!
Hola, soy colombiano, usaré los tips para perfeccionar el Inglés, saludos.
I'm currently in my 4th year of spanish (taking two spanish classes rn), and I plan on making my way up to AP Spanish 5. I've seen what the exam demands and I'm genuinely excited to get to that point where I can understand the language very well. My family mainly speaks spanish but I was never taught it. I hope to be able to learn it to the point where I can finally communicate with them
All great tips. Thanks for the suggestions.
Once again, Thanks for checking out my content. Are you going to be teaching yourself Spanish? or are you already learning somehow?
Rickie Walls I’ve been learning solo for a while and will be practicing conversational Spanish this year.
I love the Dominican dialect. That makes sense to learn a dialect. Never thought about that.
I want to finish learning Spanish. It’s intimidating. I have a good foundation...took Spanish in high school...took two years in college...took some private Spanish classes in my adult years...but I have this “I’m too old” mentality at 36 years old.
I once heard someone say that the only thing stopping anyone from learning Spanish is motivation.
I think that immersion is key...and I thought that what you said about “everything else” being in Spanish is key. I know people have dreams of leaving the country...but I’ve NEVER had a desire to go to another country. Like...I don’t want to go...period. So...that was dope how you explained immersion without leaving.
What was your study game like? Did you sit down and do a Spanish work book daily...or just look up vocab...or just watch a show...like what was your daily routine?
thank you for your videos!! I married into a Puerto Rican family and have been listening to Iheartradio to try to "immerse" myself, while living in kentucky!! near impossible task, so your videos help! thank you!
You can do it no matter where you are. You just have to apply yourself, and immerse yourself hardcore. That's what I did and it paid off! Bendiciones! Also I have another site instead of iheartradio. YOu can listen to any radios station in the world almost. www.radiowebsites.org/
Numero dos es muy dificil. When you don't live alone...
Thank you
Omar Lupe no problems! If you have any question feel free to ask. I'll respond promptly. Also be sure to check out the other videos. 👌
I just subscribed to your channel. This is going to be a challenge for me but I am learning Español. I am Native American and speak Navajo but we also have many Spanish speakers living in our little town. I want to understand what they say and how I can help those who struggle with speaking English. So I said to myself "You know what, I'm going to learn! I am going to try and communicate with them." I found your videos and liked them. I'm learning to trill my R's. Thanks for all you do!! 👍
Awesome thanks for your support. I actually have a video on how to roll your rs go to my channel and check it out. You can definitely learn
- Watching your favorite movies in spanish with spanish subtitles can work too right? Im still learning , but my spanish increased from a lot of listening and of course pronunciation errors and me overcoming them 💯🤷🏽♂️📚
Àdønįs Cäpøné I never really was a fan of subtitles because I always said that in a real life situation I wouldn't have subtitles. However, heck yes it could help. lol If you can't understand what is being said clearly, then the subtitles will help clear that up for you. I always find subtitles distracting because I feel like I would try to follow the words and miss the action. But hey if it works for you then do it. My way is never the only way. Keep up the good work!
Rickie Walls Yeah , ive done a lot of writing to , but what are good tips for pronunciation?
I'm actually doing awhole series on that, but to sum it up, earning the vowel sounds will take you far. The consonants are important too, but a lot of a horrible accent has to do with pronouncing English vowel sounds instead of Spanish ones. there's more that goes into it, but it's too much to write. Stay tuned...
This is just the video I need!! So I'm previously living in the Dominican republic because my dad has business out here and I have to start school in one months so its crucial from me to learn spanish and I'm trying to learn dominican slang and stuff like that. Since I'm still a kid I know I will catch on fast but its still very hard
Lucky! I wish I lived there lol. Since you'll be around it all of the time, you'll learn it quick. I have a Dominican slang video coming out soon. Also I know of a few websites that teach Dominican slang, but since you're a kid, I don't really to pass the sites with bad phrases to you.
Hey Bro, i really admire you and your ability to speak Espanol so fluently. I’m trying to learn Spanish and become fluent as well. I want to know how did you take notes and how was your word book structured?
awesome channel, im learning Spanish, and this page helps alot, gracias hermano
Thanks so much for the support! how are you studying?
Good advice. Thanks pai
Tyrone W. James no prob Manín.
Gracias por estos consejos estoy estudiando español dos mes
Your accent is soo good for never going to south America!! I'm working on that i have much improvement in that area. You have wonderful tips that you!!!
Gracias! It's was pure imitation in the beginning, and now it's second nature. If you're trying to really pick up an accent/dialect imitate and find articles and videos that either describe the accent, or have people using it. Éxito!
Great video
Thanks so much!
5th rule is my fave I’m always writing new phrases... my problem is holding a convo
this is great, thank you!
Cynthia Doede no prob! Thanks for watching!
Hello from spain if you want we can chat for practising facebok: mqti celar
markcuellar1 I'm always down to practice! Thanks. te voy a encontrar en Facebook.
Hola, yo hablo un poco de español pero necesito practicar más.
Me gusta hablando diferente idiomas, es bueno por el....uhhh....brain.
Cerebro is brain. How are you learning? I'm learning portuguese, and italian now.
With an app called memries and another called hellotalk.
Damn son thatll be 4 languages. polyglot city!
Yessir. I never thought I would be a polyglot, but YOLO
Que es lo que pasa Ricky! Amo tu canal. Estoy aprendiendo español y creo mi comprensión de lectura es mejor que entiendo lo que oigo. Pero, cuando leo el español, tengo la palabras de inglés en mi mente al mismo tiempo. Eso es mal para (a beginner?) I guess you can say that I'm translating in my head simultaneously.
Tambien yo aprendo eapañol ahora
Ese perreito de fondo brooo😎
Thank you 🙏 inspired to learn Spanish for the 100th time
Good video! The only thing I disagree with is learning a dialect. Learn the words and vocabulary that is understandable in all Spanish speaking countries. You can learn the differences later but focus on the „Basic“ Spanish first
te escuche en otro video, te felicito, muy bueno tu español
Muchas gracias! Me fascina el idioma de verdad. Es el más bonito. Gracias por ver mi contenido. Bendiciones!
Sacó seis años en mi escuela y recuerdo un pequito español. Estoy probando continuar mi aprendido.
wow, i did the same thing but for English, i live in the states right now but im from mexico and i speak english very well
That is awesome! Do you have any videos. I love seeing people overcome the language barrier!
Gracias for the bueno channel. Yo tieno cautorce anos y (wanting to learn spanish as a a 2nd language. I am excited for my journey into fluency!)
Thanks for checking out the channel! Keep studying. I started at a young age and look at how far I've come. You can definitely achieve it if you apply yourself!
I'm Puertorican and Colombian, yet I don't know Spanish, this is gonna help alot
I love this video! "Where you at?" Lol!
Que lo que Como te siente. Estoy adonde nada nunca se paso, south carolina. Que Padre your youtube channel
My Bro Te Pareces A Drake Solo Que Eres Mas Moreno
Eres Bienvenido Aqui En Republica Dominicana
Bless
EMMANUEL BH socio, sé que me parezco a muchas personas pero drake no es una de ellas jaja.
Rickie Walls You are very handsome.
Rickie Walls lol ahora que alguien dijo eso. Tu si pareces a Drake lol.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover try Nadazma Fast Spanish Helper (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
+EMMANUEL BH There are several components to teaching yourself to speak Spanish quickly . A place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Fergs spanish blueprint (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 resource that I've seen. Check out the amazing info .
He aprendido mas en esto video (como para aprender) de que yo arendi en las clases de otras lenguajes. Como... la verdad es que esto video es mas cierto de muchas classes.
Wow gracias por tus palabras simpaticas. a mi no me gusta nada lo que es la escuela. no motivan ni enseñan bien en mi opinion.
you r so good
Great video !!!
Thanks Elijah!!
I'm just starting out so this helped a lot!!
That's like I live in New Mexico and people say I speak like a Mexican. Well the people I work with are Mexican, the majority of people here that are Spanish speaking are Mexican. I'm learning from Mexicans. I speak Mexican Spanish.
I am considered to be a senior citizen but I am learning Spanish on Duolingo. I have always wanted to learn Spanish since I was a kid living in Spanish Harlem in New York. I would be amazed how my friends would talk to me in English and then in a split second turn and talk to their parents in Spanish. I have stopped and started but I am on my way this time. I started watching Caso Cerrado and listening to music in Spanish. When I was a kid you would see the men on the streets playing that beautiful Salsa music. I love the culture of the Spanish people their culture is so much like my own. They are passionate people and they show it in their music and in the way they court you. After Spanish I want to learn the Philippine Language. I have cousins who are Philippino and I want to be able to communicate in their language as well. For those of you who feel you are too old to do something new don't believe the hype. As long as you have a brain you should use it. NEVER, NEVER STOP LEARNING. The more you learn the more you realize there is so much that you do not know.
I learned Spanish watching Caso Cerrado as well...lol.
Good man
Bekbatyr Abdukarim thank you!
Learn for life, not for the exam. Nice advice
I like the tips! I cannot do "speak, speak, speak" though as I don't have someone to speak with.
Speaky.com gives you the opportunity to speak with people from Spanish speaking countries all around the world. Or if you do not yet feel comfortable speaking with them, you can speak with English speakers who are around your level of Spanish. I loved it!
Cool, thanks! I don't feel comfortable speaking with strangers but I'll check that out.
I need to learn spanish ASAP
If you really wanted to know, I could have taught you.
