Hola Marcus. Even if your bonus lessons don’t relate directly to the themes of your lessons I find them a fantastic help in a more general sense. For me, anything that you find important enough to create lessons for is definitely worth us learning. Thank you very much.

Yes these lessons are very helpfull as they help to think in Spanish. The difference in saying “I’m tired” is much more litteral in Spanish than in English, for example. I have taught myself with ads like these and I am trying to help my wife in learning basics. These are the questions she always ask and I’m not always able to answer. Muchisimos gracias

superb a great help and encouragement

I am grateful for these lessons. I like your method of teaching spanish.

Thanks Marcus,

These lessons were very useful as they drilled everyday topics. We all go to bed, sleep, dream, wake up, and sometimes even feel tired after sleeping. We need to practice these also.

Appreciate it!

Hi Marcus
I want to thank you for the ear training lessons. I always find your lessons very understandable and your method “sticks” in my brain. When most of the spanish I study gets forgotten your lessons are right there ready to be used at a moments notice.
You are really on to something!

Hi Marcus, I have to admit I am not a very “dedicated’ student. However, I tried a couple of these and I think you may be on to a good idea.

Your lessons are good. They have helped me to start speaking Spanish confidently. Kwabena Asante, Ghana, West Africa

I WANT TO LEARN SPANISH AS YOUR TEACHING METHOD IS VERY GOOD MUY BUENO GRACIAS

Hola Senor Santamaria,
I have just finished listening to the free audios. I must say that I am delighted, very well pronounced, a good pace and great vocabulary.
Linda from Montreal Canada

I’m a slow learner but you have been teaching me for some time now!
I think all your courses are great. I am now on Bola de Nieve.Your last lessons are just as good as your first.If you want to learn Spanish and you don’t have many Spanish speaking people around to help out Marcus is your guy!!!!
Tengo un sueno. Un dia voy a hablar
Espanol suficientemente.
Gracias Jaime

Yes they are great. I have them on my Ipod and listen while driving. Thank you so much. Vince

Hi Marcus, your lessons are very useful and easy. Thanks for making it available for me.

Thank you Marcus, These will be a big help to me. Although I can understand spanish when it’s written down, I have a hard time understanding when someone speaks the same words. I don’t have an ear for it, YET. But, I will with help like you provide, Muchos Gracias.

Pat

I am sorry but I cannot download your tracks - when I try nothing happens.

These lessons are terrific! Lessons like these that are built around a particular subject are very helpful in moving my Spanish forward. And the cultural aspect of including popular phrases such as “Sueña con los angelitos” is a very nice touch. Muchas gracias!

Thanks!!! Been a great help

Thanks for the help Marcus. I appreciate the time and day you are providing. Im still trying to catch on but I know I can do this.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing what you can, free. We’re missionaries in Bolivia and have no funds for Spanish classes. We’re having to teach ourselves, so lessons like yours are such a blessing.

Thank you again,
Cyn

Helpful and a great price

I realy enjoyed the sueña lesson, thanks very much I look forward to more.

Thank you Marcus, These lessons were very useful, very understandable and your method “sticks” in my brain. Very helpful in moving my Spanish forward.

I love your lessons and appreciate the time you have spent on them. I love listening to the proper pronunciations and hope one day to be able to talk fluently in Spanish.
Muchas gracias.
Ray

I downloaded the four lessons in Spanish to see if they would work for me. They did! I found them easy to understand and easy to work through and speaking spanish seemed to come really easily from the way it was taught. I find the lessons easy to understand and easy to master, hopefully this will impress my many spanish speaking friends. Thank you for making Learning Spanish so easy - at last!

Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful Spanish lessons and tips. I am learning more and more Spanish everyday!!!!

I have tried other lessons in the past, but I must admit that your system is by far the best.

Tom

I get lots out of your courses Marcus. I have not yet been through the entire Spanish Ear training lesson, but so far, as usual, I am learning more and more all the time.
Thanks to you and your staff. dave

Hi just had a look its very useful for me ,has i have a hearing problem so i will get to understand the sounds and i will understand more, thankyou you are so kind

Marcus, I have to say that I find your method of teaching Spanish, informative and interesting, I appreciate your free lessons and look forward to anymore you may share with us.

the first one really helped and i hope i can be disciplined to do one every day- so much better than reading form a book or listening to latin music which have been my primary methods to learn Spanish- these are great!! Anoche, mi novia estaba muy feliz!

Thank you for sharing these lessons - the short phrases and repetitions gradually leading to whole sentences are just terrific!

Hola Marcus,
Thank you so much for the track 1 till 6. The lessons are terrific, and the pronunciation is very clear. I try to hear the lessons over and over again. Now I can speak a little Spanish with my friends, even though the grammar is wrong, yet, they can understand me. Thanks again, Marcus.

Like so many others I not only find that these lessons stick in my brain, I also find that I do not fall asleep !!!Free lessons like this are a bonus !!!

Micheline

After years of grammar, speaking was still not on the horizon. Now, after only a few days, your approach has opened it all up for me. El terminar es pronto felizamente. Gracias, Tom

Thanks Marcus for your unrelated helpful lessons. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to remember spanish phrases even a simple one like “help yourself” before each meal.

I ove everything you have sent me.Im a single mom of 3 and have no funds for Spanish Lessons. People have seen an improvement in my Spanish and now they want to learn as well. Thanks so much.- CarLe

Hola Marcus, yes I really enjoyed the material you made available and plan to go over it again. I am going to pass it on to my son, who is a children’s pastor in a church that ministers to a number of Mexican children who are native spanish speakers only.

Hola Marcus
Thank you for the six new interesting lessons, I found them very useful and a great help.

Hola Marcus, Many thanks for your new ear training lessons I have been learning the spanish language for 4 years now and have found the most difficult part is completely understanding and joining in a conversation well done for the ear training lessons

Thanks so much, your free lessons help alot. I have one question I have tryed many methods to rolling my rrs and nothing helps. Got any ideas

Thanks very much these lesson are a great help.

Incredible tapes - thank you so much for their availability. Sue

Thanks it was great for beginners and those at the intermediate level. The pronunciation was excellent.

Hi Marcus

I do enjoy all your lessons. I believe this idea is a very good and helpful one

Unfortunately I can´t listen to the tracks, but I have the text and that is god for me.

Thank you for these free lessons. I have found them very good indeed, Ihave a friend in Argentina, and i have found that although there is a slight difference i have been able to talk to her, and she is able to understand me. i would not have been able to do this with out your help has i could no way afford to pay for courses in spanish. thank you again i am indeted to you…..mr Tom hilton

Great lessons. As a Puerto Rican, who did not want to learn Spanish as a youngster, this is great way for me to get my vocabulary skills up to where they should be. And even though the pronunciations are not always akin to the PR way of speaking Spanish it is good to hear what things should really sound like to most of the rest of the Spanish speaking public. Thanks. Keep them coming even if they do not fit with the rest of your program.

Thank you so much for all your help, I am living in spain on a tight budget without the help you have given me I would still be using sign language to get my point across. Thank goodness there are people like you who are willing to help even if we cannot afford to pay for lessons. Thanks again Cath.

Hola Marcus, I have taken many Spanish classes over the years and am far from fluent but find that your methods build confidence and train the ear. Thank you for posting your lessons on-line. They are very helpful. Norah

great will put them on my mp3 player and get my ears tuned in regards terry

Thank you Marcus for your pioneering work to spread the Spanish language. Although i am no longer living in Spain i keep passing on your website to my friends who need to improve with my reccommendation. Arabella

Thanks for a great way of teaching, keep up the good work please.
I have learned a lot from pod casts in spanish but your method is one of the best. I am very greatfull for your lessons. thanks.

found them very helpful, has trying to live in spanish village is very hard not knowing the language,thanks

Dear Marcus,
I am not a star pupil but I do appreciate your altruisic desire to encourge people like me at 82 to learn a little Spanish free. It puts me under “less pressure”. Many of us Oldies do find it difficult to understand the spoken word without a little help with some text. Are you able to do this with some of your audio programmes? Jim

Dear Marcus
I have just started your lesson, and have found them very easy to follow, even understand, I am finding easier to translate from spanish to english rather than the other way round. My 10 year daughter is learning with me as well, hoping to get the 5 year old involved to. We are enjoying all the lesson even the new one you have sent us. Gracias from us all.

Thank you for sharing these lessons, I find the repetitions very helpful as I never seem to get it first time. I look forward to receiving any free lessons you may have available.
Sylvia

Hola Marcus
I am a slow learner and not always dedicated, but I found this very helpful. Thank you very much

Excellent but I do have trouble downloading especially the written part

I found these free lessons very good indeed. I have lived in Murcia espana for 3 years,but have found learning spanish hard. All your free lessons have helpd me greatly. Thank you.
I would love to buy your oomplete course but cannot aford it at the moment. thak you again

Thankyou for the free lessons,I am English living in spain with my Spanish girlfriend and her mother.I am slowly learning to communicate, thanks Marcus.

Very good, these lessons are spot on thankyou very much

The free lessons 1-6 is great.Can’t wait for the next series.Your techniques are wonderful and I appreciate your spirit of sharing[even free].More grease to your elbow.

I have just started your lesson, and have found them very easy to followI tried a couple of these and I think you may be on to a good idea.

Right now I can’t afford to purchase lessons this is why I am so grateful for your free lessons such as these. I love them, but, most importantly, I love your teaching style. You simplify everything which is very encouraging for impatient learners. It’s Great! Please keep up the the “GREAT” work.

It answered my question of thinking in spanish a little better.

Dear Marcus many thanks for your free lessons.The lessons are most helpful and clear to understand. I have tried lessons and spanish books by many others but I have learnt more out of your lessons in a fairly short time than with any other, so many thanks.

Hola Marcus I very much appreciate your kindness and generosity in making these great easy to comprehend lessons available. The method of association that you use makes the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable, and that is important. Gracias amigo.

I have listened to your lessons and I find them very well fit for persons who have followed the old-style education with grammar and dictionary, who are fully capable to read and write fairly well, but fail completely when it comes to speaking spanish fluently. Well done!

Thank you very much for sending me the lessons a great help,salud John/Ann.

Enjoyed them…thank you!!

When I try to speak Spanish I know what I am trying to say. But hearing it takes some time to figure out, I also have difficlty hearing. These lessions are great. Too much time between the english statement and the reply, however.

Hi, thanks for not quitting on me. Because of you I actually am learning Spanish. Your helpful hints, the downloadable lessions all are helping me learn. I got an A in my first year Spanish thanks to you. Gracias

Thanks for the lessons, Marcus. I don’t know what else to say that hasn’t already been said. I love Spanish and find it very challenging (in fact, part of me had already given up. I’m thinking I’m never gonna learn unless I move to a Hispanic country!). But your free lessons gave me hope! I’m looking forward to the next ones! Angie

Thank you Marcus you are a blessing to all of us who want to learn and further our spanish speaking. I must say that I am learning a lot from your lessons more than I can imagine. Thank you for all the extras that you are throwing in for us, I pray that the lord will continue to bless you and the rest of your team, with all my heart. LOVE YOU ALL

Hola,Marcus. Gracias tu cursos.son util. estoy escuchando los mp3 cada dia.gracias otra vez.

thanks - these days it is very rare to really get something for free.

the free lessons are wonderful.

thanks again

I spent a lot of time to learn spanish but my spanish is not good yet.
The free lessons are very helpful to understand the sentence structure step by step.

I was suprised at the ease it is to follow along and how easy it was to understand in different context of how to use the words. A wonderful program I would recommend it to anyone that had any doubts

Thank you so much for these lessons they have been a great help to me and would love you to send more they would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this…I grew up on the Mexican border, speaking Spanish as a child. Many years later and many miles from my old home…so much has left me…this is really helpful.

Thank you very much for these lessons. You managed to go over grammar structures that have given me problems for a long time. Thanks for the help!

Hola Marcus!A mi me interesan las lecciones mucho.Mis gracias mas efusivas por tu ayuda. Con gratitud
Jaro

Hola Marcus, thankyou so much for these lessons. I think that your method is fantastic. I understand written words but find hearing a little more difficult, but with your help I am sure I will get there in the end.keep up your excellent work

Muchas gracias, Marcus!

Your lessons are the most engaging and best that I have ever encountered. Your efforts are well worth the subscription. Thank you now too for the Spanish booster lesson. I continue to review Bola de Nieve model 1 and the Master Class 1. Eagerly waiting the second parts. This came at a good time. It extends my comprehension and skills. Thanks again.

Rob Park
Tyrone, NM

I’ve loved the synergy lessons and only now am looking at ear training but I’ve learned a bit already. Thanks Marcus

I LOVE THIS LESSONS, IS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AND USEFULL TO ME AS A BEGINNER, THANK YOU ,GRACIAS

Hola Marcus
Thank you so much I really enjoy your teaching method. Like so many I find written Spanish easier than listening but with your help it is slowly sinking in and any help is very much appreciated.

Hi Marcus! I’m very thankful for your Spanish lessons. I find them very helpful. Keep up the great work, please.
Best regards, Agnieszka

THANK YOU MARCUS,
I REALLY ENJOY THIS LESSON AS A BEGINNER IN SPAINISH

Thank you I really enjoy these lessons and find them very helpful

i have always found your spanish lessons easy to memorize and so far it has really improved my spoken spanish. thank you very much

Hi Marcus, as I’m not a quick learner I really enjoy the effort you have put into these lessons for our enjoyment. Thank you Esther

i think your audio lessons are great a real help in us learning spanish

Muchas gracias por la leccion Esta es muy agrable

Marcus,

I really enjoy all of the lessons you have created and find them easy to underestand and learn. I feel that I have been able to undersand more from Synergy Spanish than anything else. For some reason everything seems to click and with your lessons I find myself being able to “think” more in Spanish. Everything you have provided has been beneficial to me. The only thing that holds me back is my own time.

Hola, Marcus! Your audio lessons came at just the right time for me. I’ve been working on verb conjugation, and these lessons that you so generously shared, took me to a new level of understanding! Thanks!!
Take care
Jeannette

Thank you for the lessons. I find that repitition works best for me. These lessons allow me to listen again and again to fine tune the sounds. Thanks again!

Like the others I am impressed with your additional lessons. These are words and sentences that one can immediately incorporate into his/her Spanish conversation. Muchas gracias Marcus.

What terrific idea you had Marcus.
The lessons are enjoyable because I
learn better with your method and
therefore, practice more often.
Thank you. Shamas

It was very good for the people who wants to learn spanish or during learning.

Thanks

The structure of your lessons really does make it easier to learn. And just as importantly, to want to learn. Your Synergy Spanish is the only course I’ve tried that I approach with enthusiasm. Thanks.

This has been a great insight into the language of which I am having much difficulty with. Thank-you so very much!

Very encouraging. I am understanding a lot more than I can speak

Very encouraging.I’m understanding more than I can speak.Thannk you.

Like most people ,I find it hard to find time for regular lessons, and I have to go by my mood to learn. Your programm makes it fun and exciting,because its efficient and not spiked with lots of grammar. The subjects you teach can be used right away . I’m proud of my progess.Thanks.

I want to be able to speak and understand Spanish well which at present is not happening. These lessons are a great help. Thank you

These lessons have already boosted my confidence in speaking Spanish. I have always had a high listening and reading vocabulary, but never the confidence to string words together effortlessly, without thinking too much about it. I, too, was beginning to lose heart that I would ever be able to speak Spanish. I feel I have my own private tutor (to quote a current commercial) right here in my home, one that is patient and doesn’t correct my mispronounciations but with the repetitions, they are slowly diminishing.
Thank you.

I found those lessons helpful and structured. I like your system of repetition within the sentence structure. I like to learn grammar - but it isn’t always helpful when trying to converse!

I just saw this and clicked on it! I have wanted to learn Spanish for a long time and haven’t ever taken the time to do it.It was really interesting and it made want to look at more about your process.

A mi me gusta sus instruciones. Quiero practicar mi español mas, y sus leccions son extraordinario. Continúe el buen trabajo, Marcus!

Dear Marcus, All of your lessons have been of great help to me, especially as I needed to learn Spanish quite quickly when I first started your lessons. Your most recent Sueños lessons are wonderful also. In particular your lessons have helped me to speak conversational Spanish, they are easy to follow and somehow remain in my memory very easily. Thank you so much for everything, GRACIAS! Carmela, Australia.

Hi quality lesson and that too gratis! Muchas Gracias Marcus, you are a real guru.

Great!!
These are the things that i would need to say the most pretty much :-p
I tried to make some sentences myself but they sure didn’t sound like this..
Thanks Marcus!

Marcus,
Thank you! I really struggle to “hear” Spanish. This type of lesson is very helpful for me.

Bill

Hola,Buenas Dias Marcus
I have enjoyed leccion uno as much as all the previous ones.
It has enhanced my understanding of the Spanish language and has allowed me to hold simple conversations wwith Spanish people in Spain. Muchas gracias.
Paul

Hi Marcus.

Thanks for the dreaming lessons. They really helped me - probably because of the frequent repetition - as a pensioner I need all the help I can get and these were great. Thanks. Rita

Thank you Marcus. As ever an interesting and useful, real life approach, not the stuffy old classroom grammer and recite technique.

Thanks Marcus,this really helped

Dear Marcus

Thank you for sending me the bonus Spanish lessons. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed them and find your method of teaching Spanish the best. The way you build up the sentence and the repetition method really does work and is enjoyable. Thanks again.
Yvonne

Hola Marcus, I like to practice the Spanish language and these (free)lessons are a great help. Thank you

This is a very helpful lesson, but it sticks about three-quarters of the way through. I can’t get it to move past the dialogue relating to ‘la frontera’. Is it my computer maybe?

Thank you very much indeed Marcus ,you have gone to alot of trouble to help people with learning the spanish language .it is very much appreciated.your method of teaching is indeed easier and more one on one teaching .Thank you again Sandra.(Ireland)

If they are as challenging as the first ones, I would love to be stretched further

Thank you

K

Your lessons are great. I enjoy them so much. I would never lear spanish about them.
Judith

Thank you for these useful lessons. I listen to it in my car. It makes learning a real pleasure.

I am a real beginner at the subject ,
and find your methods so simple and easy to follow, I really feel I am acheiving somthing here.

Great lessons! I’d love to see more like this - lessons that cover a specific topic and gives us all the ins and outs of the subject. There is just so much to everyday Spanish (like sleeping) that we need to learn about, but the lessons are nowhere to be found. This lesson was fantastic and I hope to see more like it.

Like all the lessons I have tried from you I have found them to be a great help in being able to understand the words when spoken by a Spanish person.

Thank you. You have helped me so much and your lessons give such confidence. Gracias.

Thanks Marcus, that is the first picture I have seen of the Santamarias, what a beautiful family you are. The lessons helped me grasp when and how to use reflexive verbage and the different meanings of tired. I have much to learn and a great teacher to learn it from. Thanks

I am finding them very helpful, keep up the good work

I concur with all the people above. Thank you Marcus. I need all the help I can get!

Well done. I’ve spent $$$ on cd courses before, and when it comes time to listening to converstations in real time, I’ve had to check to see if I missed a CD, it was nearly impossible for me to jusmp to that level of comprehension. Thanks again

Thank you for the bonus lessons. Anything is helpful and I really like your teachin methods.

Thank you for the dream team, it is very helpful. I have found your course very effective and already recommended your course to everyone I know.
Thanks

Once again, great. It good to hear the way spanish is spoken and so different to english.
Muchas gracias.

Great help in reinforcing vocabulary that I previously learned.

Both fascinating and brillant. The only problem was that several of the Tracks were interrupted and restarted with a changed background

Muchas gracias Marcus por su lección. Es muy interesante y me ayuda mucha. I have just started Bola de nieve but it is good to memorise key phrases such as those in sueño and I need more listening practice. These lessons are fantastic and a big help.
Thankyou again.

Thankyou Marcus. I am really enjoying this and look forward to getting Synergy Spanish Part 2 as soon as available.

Marcus,
As usual your stuff is really helpful and simple, which is what I need.

You have many practical / useful ideas here that can help any truly interested learner. Thanks for all your free tips. Everybody can profit from your advice

Hi Marcus
Thank you so much for the new courses they are really great and definately useful! Cant wait for the next lesson! All the best and Thank you again

I love the ear training! It has really helped me to understand my spanish speaking customers more easily. I am not having to request that they slow their speech as much because my ear is becoming more tuned to the rhythms of the language.I love your program!

Yes I am enjoying your lessons and find them very helpful. It is so nice to be able to hear the words spoken in spanish. If I have trouble understanding I simply pause the tape andl look the words up in the dictionary. Thank you Marcus

Hola Marcus. Thanks for a fantastic series! I love your methods and the free series are extremely helpful and kind. Please keep them coming.

Violet

Hi Marcus.
Love the lessons great help to training my ear as Spanish speakers speak so fast I find it difficult to hear all the words sometimes

gracias marcus quiero aprender espanol muy mucho con su ayuda y mi disfruter este muy bueno muchos gracias

Dear Marcus

I very much appreciate the free lessons. I am ahead on the Bola de Nieve course and really look forward to the next lesson. The free items are a welcome addition. I listen to you every day in the car!

Muchas gracias

Ann

Great it is so important to hear the spoken word and thank you so much Lynda

Hi Marcus, really enjoyed the bonus spanish lesson (suenos) the repetition worked well for me. Thankyou

Hola Marcus!
I’m adding my approval to the many many already posted. You’re doing a great service for so many. Keep it up. Joyce

Yes I am enjoying your lessons and find them very helpful. It is so nice to be able to hear the words spoken in spanish.thanks so much.

Dear Marcus,
Your lessons are good. I am enjoying them.

Dear Marcus,
The lessons are excellent. They help me greatly concerning expressions I always get mixed up on. I am impressed with your teaching.

Marcus: I am going ahead very slowly, but have learned more in one month of your course, than I did in the past two years with others.These free lessons are really helping me to understand spoken Spanish-Muchas Gracias

Marcus,
Every time I fall by the wayside you come up with one of these great idea’s and start the whole guilt trip all over again, I really will try this time!.

Fantastic lessons. They are a real asset and are helping me understand a lot more. Thanks!

Dear Marcus,
I am writing to express my heart felt gratitude for your fantastic lessons.They have enabled me to form sentencs straight away.Your method of teaching has given me confidence, which encourages me to learn more and more. Learning from your lessons, in a natural way, is real pleasure.I find your method of teaching most effective and superior to any other I have come across.
I look eagerly forward to receiving some more lessons.

Hola!

I thought it was good:o)
I do need to be having more frequent and consistent lessons, i do know some of the basics i think it is lack of confidence to speak the language that is part of my downfall to retaining.

Chau
Janine:o)

I seem to understand spanish better than i speak at this stage…this is my problem. I love your lessons.

These lessons are easy to understand as are all your lessons. After many years of trying to learn spanish and finding it hard work using your teaching method I am now learning more and more each day. A big thankyou. Michael.

Hola Marcus! It`s very nice the way you “twist” the sentences in so many different ways. Intelligent done! But the Spanish pronunciation could be a bit more joyful. With a smile we learn faster! Cracias!!

hola marcus…….¿como estas?
me llama kavitha,
I started learning spanish recently,by seeing the spanish speekers i knew that the its very hard to pronounce it,but after hearing ur audio lessons i found it very easy.now i can interact with the people well in spanish.thank u for ur lessons…………..
BUENOS NOCHES

Yes, I found the extra lessons helpful, I need to work most on my understanding of native speakers. Muchas Gracias

After reading so much Spanish it’s wonderful to learn by hearing and repeating. I lack confidence and your lessons are helping me.

After many Spanish courses in high school and college yours was different and I hope to concentrate and learn a little.

This is an excellent method of learning spanish…by ear..the way I’ve learned all my spanish to date ..

Marcus, thank you so much for the free lessons, I am really enjoying them and learning so much. I have been taking Spanish lessons for about 4 years. When I first started your lessons, I finally understood so many things that I had not previously been able to comprehend. I am so grateful to you for this wonderful method.

I have learned more from Marcus’s spanish lessons than I have from any other resources I have. Very well done Marcus…

hola Marus.I’m a professional working for an International petroleum company of China. Spanish is very useful for my career advancement in those oil producing countries in Latin America. Your efforts of compiling such a helpful course is appreciated. Also, coz Chinese is my mother tougue, if you want to study Chinese, I’d like to extend my assistance to you, my friend y mi maestro.

Marcus, besides the Synergy one, every other free lessons you designed are excellent. All common topics on everyday usage. I learn slowly bit by bit everyday and have acculmulated a lot by now.

marcus am very grateful for all that u’ve been giving to me. gracias

Thankyou for those ‘freebies’. (I do not know the Spanish expression for this).

I like the help with the idomatic use of verbs and the sly introduction of more vocab.

Have you any more you are not using?

Gracias.

Your lessons are always a great help - more so when you include transcripts because way out here in the Spanish countryside our internet connection is VERY slow & voice doesn’t sound good, also I notice your pronounciation is based on Mexican Spanish whereas here in Spain itself the accent is a little different (the combination ‘ce’ & ‘ci’ for example is a strong ‘th’ sound here.) so yes, please keep up the good work and especially the transcripts.

Marcus, I’ve enjoyed your courses and find these bonus lessons very helpful. Please post more. Thanks,

Tony

Gracias, Marcus! I have been on two mission trips to Honduras and can speak and write enough Spanish to “get by” but I get lost when the people begin to speak Spanish to me! These lessons are very helpful!

I was pleased with how clearly they spoke and very impressed that you had posted the transcript - for those of us who need to see it in writing
Thanx

Thanks for the lessons. I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for including the written transcripts. For some reason I can process it better when I see it in print too.

Dear Marcus,
thanks a lot! You are doing so much for your students. Your courses are pleasurable and resultful at the same time. Effortless and natural way to study language. Gracias.

Hola Marcus

Your extra lessons were both very interesting and helpful. Thank you for your consideration.

Hola marcus, i wanna thank you for these very helpfull ear lessons, at first i couldn’t understand a word if someone speaks spanish, now i started get my ear used to hear spanish, so.. muchas gracias

Hola Marcus, I am enjoying every moment of the lessons. While I work I listen. I am very greatful for your consistency in sending these lessons. You are doing a good work in freely helping people.

Muchas gracias Marcus. Me encanta aprender con usted.
So far, I have learned from shortcut to spamish level 1, synergy spanish, bola de nieve, cinco de mayo, and suenos. I love them all and will continue to study with you until you stop, or until I’m fluent. I love learning spanish and each lesson enlightens me more and helps me on my way to my goal. Your generosity is very much appreciated.
Hasta la proxima leccion, adios. x

Hola Marcus, I am getting on fairly well but still find it difficult listening to the real Spanish language, this latest set of CDs are giving me a lot of confidence to go out and talk to people, thank you, Gracias.

Hola Marcus, ¿Como estas? Thank you so much for the lessons. They really do help. Looking forward to the next lessons.

Hola Sr. Santamaria!
Muchas gracias! You are very helpful and los lecciones que haces son muy interesante y divertido

While I know I have a long ways to go I can’t thank you enough for coming up with this form of teaching. It’s late in life for me to be trying to learn a new language but I am learning with your tapes. So yes any lessions you have I’m sure will help.

Excellent to listen to Marcus. Thank you

You know exactly what is difficult in learning Spanish and exactly how to help! Thank you so much.

Muchas gracias

Hola Marcus,
thanks a lot for all the lessons you`ve sent me along (written and audio) that I have a good progress in learning Spanish.
I haven`t been through yet with all the materials you sent, but I am doing my best to go through them all.
In a special way, I need mention here the mnemonic way of learning because I have a bit of struggle retaining in my memory the words I have just memorized.

Your lessons have been of great help to me to improve my Spanish.

Have a memorable weekend with your family…

Muchos saludos desde Buenos Aires,

RioMart

MUCHAS GRACIAS

Dear Marcus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in giving mre the tools to speak spanish. My husband and I are moving to Spain in a year or so and it is vital that we be able to communicate with our new neighbours. Your methods are brilliant and so easy to follow. Muchos gracias

I don’t know what else to say than what’s been said already—Thank you for the ear training lessons. They are very helpful and I appreciate your generosity!

Your lessons are a good supplement to the Spanish I have already learned.
Thank you, David Swyer

I find your lessons very helpful, thank you. I look forward to receiving more from you.

About The Free Bonus Lessons
Hola Marcus Santamaria,
I am living in Denmark, a little country, my native language is Danish. I am 72 years old, retired teacher. For some years ago, I attended 3 short evening-courses in Spanish, and now I am trying to learn more, but I live far from bigger cities so I have to learn Spanish via pc, on-line Spanish newspapers, online TV etc. In the future I hope to be able to read Spanish literature, learn about Spanish culture in Spain, but also in CA, Mexico, Latinamerica etc.
As a teacher I know how important it is to learn from different angles, and I am impressed by the way you are guiding through the lessons, mnemonics, comparing Spanish with English, creating Spanish from English, all ”the relics” from Latin we have in many European languages. Many call Spanish the modern Latin.
The lessons you recently sent were really good, especially the way you explain the reflexive werbs. In Danish we often use two words, too.
I should like to have more free lessons.
I appreciate that you do so great a work!
Saludos

Hola Marcus, I am grateful for these lessons. I love to learn spanish but finding little hard, but your lessons are very helpful to think in spanish and understandable. I like your method of teaching spanish. I really appreciate. Thanks a lot.

Hola Marcus,
¡Muchas gracias!
I enjoyed these lessons very much and I’m looking forward to any continuation.
Saludos,

These sound a lot like the Spanish I hear my neighbors speaking to one another.

Hola Marcus,
I have found your lessons very helpful. I have been battling to download the audio lessons though - will keep trying.
Gracias!!!
Elizabeth

Your method turned my spanish around. As always, the lessons are great.I have not been able to afford the regular lessons on ear training, so these are a real treat. Keep up the great work.

Frank

Thank you for the first gratis lesson .I enjoyed it mucho!

Gracias. They are very helpful.

hola marcus, I am enjoying your lessons very much, and my spanish is improving all the time, I am able to get by quite easily now when on holiday in spain, many thanks robert DEVON UK

I find your lessons easy to follow and enjoy learning this way. Thank you for the freebies too as they are relevant and enjoyable.

Muy buena tu nueva leccion. Excelente como siempre. Muchas gracias

Pierre

Thank you for these lessons. I practice every day in order to be better from day to day.

MUCHAS GRATIAS.

Many thanks for the free lessons, Marcus. I’ve had a spell from Spanish for a while selling, buying & moving house, etc, but about to get going again. I look forward to any more you care to part with.
Saludos, Trevor

Hola Marcus, Thanks for super lessons! I’ve checked out lots of other programs, but yours is the best. Simple and practical.

Thanks for the lessons, I enjoyed the first five. The 6th lesson I was unable to either listen to or download in any of the pages or emails that you sent. Otherwise, I thought they were great.

Hi Marcus, and hola to all you happy Spanish-students out there. I’m happy too! I have been following Spanish lessons for 2 years in DK, and it was great, but I can feel that I’m now improving my way of speaking a lot after getting Bola de Nieve and all other material. Just need somebody to speak to; only have that during the summer. I specially love the Mexican way of speaking Spanish. I have always been interested in different dialects and nuances. Wish I had the same possibility to study Greek, which is my top-priority language right now.
Saludos, Hans.

Hola Marcus, Nov 18th 2008
muchas gracias!!
Your lessons are really helpful for me , I have learnt quite allot from your programs, so please keep them coming.

Thanks again!!!.
Nazmoon. (retired in Mexico.)

All the grammar I learn from books just gets locked up inside me and I can’t communicate but your method helps me to express myself in speech - which is the whole idea of learning Spanish isn’t it?

Hola Marcus, thank you for taking time out to answere my blog, but at the start of your relpy you put Guau! (Wow) I looked up the word in the dictionary and could not find it, was it a real word or an exclamation. Gracias

Thanks for these great lessons. My spanish is really progressing since I started, Even though i Had done some traditional classes when I visited Latin America recently it was noticed how my spanish had improved

It is brilliant! Thank you!

Hola Marcus,

I can only agree with the numerous blogs already present in regards to the quality and content of your lessons. I haven’t had a real opportunity to sit-back and engulf myself in all the lessons, but the one’s I’ve listen too, are worthwhile.

Before I started reading all these comments I knew just what I was going to say. It has all been said and it is all true. Thank you Marcus.

Hello Marcus
This is the 9th language I am learning and have never found any other as easy or as much fun. Also your voice is pleasant to listen to. I am a artist and have your lessons on all day whilst I’m working.

saludos, Marcus tuve las lecciones las que me envías, Yo sé voy a gozarlas y ayudarme. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo. hondo de San Luis Obispo, Ca.

Great lessons - thanks for all the ‘extras’.

I agree with all the positive comments.

Hi Marcus, I have just downloaded your new lessons and know I will find them really useful. I am going to stay with my daughter and my new grandson in Spain next week and dont know what I would have done without all your lessons. They really help me to communicate with my ‘yernos’ family. Thanks again Marcus.

Enjoyed all of the 6 bonus lessons. They all go a long way to helping get more in tune with Spanish directly and not simply trying the translate everything into English and forgetting what is really being spoken about. Look forward to more of the same whenever

Marcus, as always I find your lessons are a real help. Thank you.

Hola Marcus,

Thank you for the wonderful free lessons. I have heard all and found them very helpful.
I am new for Spanish language so these lessons help me more to speak and lesson Spanish.

From IOWA/USA

Dear Marcus, As you well know, I am truly enthusiastic about all your courses, and since for the moment I have to suspend my paid subscritptions.. I would love to receive anything that you offer gratis. If only this financial downturn turns out to be temporary, I’ll be returning… I do hope for all our sakes that this is so!!!! Saludos and gracias Marcia

Your “Shortcut to Spanish” book/action guide, is terrific! (!es terrifico!) I have studied spanish many times before, but I have never had the material come together as well as it has with your course. I have also looked at the first Spanish Ear Training material, and it also is going to be very useful. Thank you very much!

Peter

ps I really appreciate all the e-mail contact!

Marcus,

You continue to amaze me with the goods, yes I do like these lessons the more variety the better, thanks again for your personal teaching, best by a mile.

Kind regards

Ron Osborne

genial! como siempre

Just thanks!

Everything you release is wonderful. I look forward to learning as much as possible. Thank you.

Marcus, your lessons are very helpful in getting me to think more quickly when putting together sentences in Spanish. I am particularly thankful for your free lessons because my husband lost his job recently. Thanks so much!

I could not download the files from your first email, but it worked OK from this blog site. I really appreciate the extras that keep coming. Very good support service. Gracias Marcus

Hola marcus,
It was excellent for not so novice like me. It was indeed a good build up- right prescription for me at least- I am grateful to the makers- hope to continue your way.
Regards
Tapan Chakravarty

These ear training lessons are very helpful and I thank you most sincerely for all the lessons. You are very generous. Gracias

It is always great to get something as good as this FREE. Anything that adds to my learning of Spanish is much appreciated .

Hi Marcus, thank you for your wonderful course program and for the free lessons.
I greatly enjoy all your material. Your method makes learning a new language really a fun.
Andrea from Italy

Hi Marcus, I enjoyed these lessons very much they are very easy to follow and very clear in their meaning. Thank you very much for all your hard work putting these lessons together for all of us.
Gracias de Oregon, USA

Hi Marcus, just as Bola de Nieve, your Ear training lessons sre helping my ambition to be able to speak Spanish immensely, thank you very much

how good to get the free lessons, through your courses I am a confident speaker of Spanish, quite the best of many that I’ve tried. Muchas gracias.

Your lessons is great - but this free lessons 1-6 does not download - they play directly… not OK I will save it for my archive… hope you can do something about the files

so many comments….and you deserve all of them …..I cant fault anything you have done…keep going! you are making my move to Mexico happen. Alan.

Everything you put out adds to my learning and to my enjoyment. This was no exception. I’m on your waiting list for Spanish Ear Training and it can’t come too soon!

I’m very grateful for all your generous extras since I have been with you. Thanks! If you have more like “Sueños”, of course I’d like them.

Thank you very much, Marcus for all your materials so far. I love the way you teach Spanish, although some of it is still a bit beyond me. I know, I will get there because it’s such fun learning with your methods. Muchas gracias.

Hi Marcus
Many thanks for the bonus lessons, which I find very enjoyable and easy to work with.
I`m currently studying Bola de Nieve and and very pleased with my progress so far - many thanks again

Buenos dias Marcus

Muchas gracias por su gentileza!
These lessons are very useful especially on the subject reflexive verbs
Thanks again
Ray

Winsome from Jamaica
I appreciate your emails. Your lessons are very helpful, however I also learn by seeing the words as I say them so I can get a grasp of whether the a for instance is joined to the word of separate. Great Job! You are helping me a lot!Thanks!

Thank you Marcus for the free bonus lessons. They are very helpful and topical subjects.

Hola Marcus
These lessons are very good and arrived just as my enthusiasm for learning Spanish was fading. Just the boost I needed.

I had enrolled in your Spanish course a while ago and enjoyed it. Unfortunately I didn’t have much opportunity to listen and speak the language. When you sent me these free audio lessons I loved them and have been practicing my vocabulary plus my listening skills. Thank you so much for making these available they are awesome!

Thanks Marcus - I am enjoying these lessons which are really helping me improve, I find the everyday topics the most interesting and stick in my brain better

Excellant as usual, thank you so much. Your lessons are the only language course I have ever really enjoyed and looked forward too.

Hola Marcus,
Many thanks for these extra ear training lessons, it is one thing to be able to speak limited Spanish but trying to understand even the basics when spoken by a Spaniard are two different things. I know that these lessons will be of great help in the understanding of Spanish as it is spoken. I have really enjoyed your lessons, but am rather slow at taking it all in and remembering it, but with your help I will get there!

Hi Marcus,thanks a lot for the free courses,i really enjoyed them.Me gustaria mas si usted tiene.Muchos gracias y asta la proxima.

i want to order level 2 cd’sand text

Thank you Marcus for your E-mail about the spanisheartraining course. It has made me realise I have lapsed a little lately with my Spanish lessons. Thank you for re-awakening my interest

Hi,
I particulary like the way you break the sentences up and repeat each part and then put it all together. I also like learning practical phrases that I have an opportunity to practice in real life. Thank you.

I’ve learned more from your methods than in all of the other programs that I’ve purchased put together!!! I worked with Rosetta Stone for 3 months — I remember “El pez es blanco.” Really useful!! Estoy muy cansada!! See? Your methods work!
Thanks =)

Hola marcus,

I have just completed your free Spanish Ear Training lessons and I found it very easy to follow like all your courses. !Que bueno! and it’s free. Puedo hablar español que es un sueño hecho realidad para mi. Mucho gracias. I hope you and your family are settling into life in Australia.

Take care.

Excelente!!! Feally a great help for an old man who trying veery hard to learn spañol.

Mucho Gracías

As always, very helpful and thoughtful lessons. I realy appreciate this approach to learning

I find these very helpful for training my ear to Spanish, as it is much easier for me to read Spanish than it is to just hear it and understand it. I appreaciate the clean and slow pace the speaker uses.

I really enjoyed these lessons. I like the way you break down the sentences from easy to more difficult as you add more words.

Thank you! The ear training is very
helpful. I agree with all the comments posted. They’re great and give me hope that I can actually learn how to speak Spanish.

Marcus, you have a great heart. Most other Language providers would ask for a fee for extra material. You don’t. God will bless you for that, in that you are sharing your time and talents. Thank You so much…..

Hola Marcus. I find all you material very helpful. Can’t wait to use when I travel to South America.

Marcus,
Just started to look at your Spanish training downloads. Can you tell me is this Latin American Spanish or European. Thanks
James,

I have bought some lessons from you previously and found them very helpful. Particularly the repeat and build a sentence process which helps me to remember better. thanks

Thank you Marco for these lessons.I’m glad that you are kind enough to share them with us,as your methods are the most easy to understand that I have come across.

Marcus, I found these extra lessons very useful, along with all your other training, for me it brings simplicity back into language learning which I think is important to keep motivated. Thankyou

Muy amigo mio y mui profesor de espanyol Sr.Marcus,
Muchas gracias por las nuevas lecciones de espanyol.Estoy muy contento con sus lecciones”Spanish Ear Training”.This kind of lessons help me to listen and practice at home.Tengo una pregunta para usted.
El proxima mi email voy a escribir mi pregunta.Muchas gracias otra vec.

So many people will benefit from your work Marcus. I intend to follow all of your teachings because they take the dull factor away from learning. They focus on getting immersed in the language. If I was taught this way at school, I would have probably got better grades. I have learnt more about stringing words together with you than I did in 5 years at school. The main thing I remember from school is the vocabulary and that’s about it. I prabably switched off with the rest because it was too confusing with all of the conjugating of verbs and different tenses.
Thankyou for helping me to see a better way of learning.
I bought a real Spanish recipe book from Spain when I was on holiday and I’ve been using it to practice my spanish. It’s great because it’s full of verbs. I also bought a novel called trece runas. It will probably take me years to read it, but I believe now that I can and the more I read, the less I will need to look up words because they will start to stick. I figured that if I’m enjoying the story whilst I’m learning, I’ll remember better. I’ve been doing the same with music too. Printing off the lyrics and translating them myself. Each time I sing the song, I remember a bit more.
You have helped give me the enthusiasm to do all of this, so I want to say muchas gracias. Me encanta aprender con usted.

Thank you for sharing these lessons, Marcus. I have tried several different teachers but have found that your method is the only one that ’sticks’ in the older brain!

Thanks for the free lessons, they are a great help and most people talk about sleep and dreams

I was “Skeptical” at first but then I went ahead and tried these lessons. So much easier to remember and put into regular day context. I really appreciate your generosity and the valuable lessons. Well Done. Gracias

I find every lesson I’ve received from Marcus usable and easy to follow. I especially like the way he “builds” a sentence. I’ve stopped looking for other ways to learn Spanish.

I attend a class 3 times a week with spanish people learning english and find spanish ear training fun and helpful. Thank you!

Sorry Marcus but I cannot download the lessons, it seems unable to locate the file details

I would like to thank you for sharing all your lessons. They have been a tremendous help. I look forward to your next lessons. Thank You

Extremly helpful and clarifying when to use “i wake-up” and “i get my self-up” good explanation on dream about too.
Keep it up, love to have more similar lessons

Marcus, I love your method of teaching and love all the programs I have purchased from you. I had a hard time, and now with your help, I am actually doing pretty good! I appreciate all the freebies you so graciously send out, thank you sooooo much!!!

Muy bueno amigo - muchas gracias

Pablo

Honestly i don’t know what to say rather to say your method of teaching is one of the best that i have ever come across, which can also be applied in other areas. keeep thsi good work going. from Ghana West Africa

Hola Marcus, These were a great help to me and I would love to see more! I appreciate the freebies that you give us!

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for u r mail.
The lessons are really great.
Thank you.

really fantastic.. this materials have helped me strengthened my Spanish better.

Hi Marcus
Thank ou so much.Your method of teaching is very easy and allows me to speak a little spanish by my friends who say that i learn so fast. The courses are very interesting and i am enjoying them. Thanks for sharing again other lessons with me.
Marc

Thanks a lot for the “download lesson” Very helpful with the explanation of differences. Looking forward to have more similar lessons.

Marcus, As an English teacher myself, I have often been puzzled by the fact that English speakers have developed amazing methods to teach others our own language, but not used these methods to teach ourselves foreign languages.
So I congratulate you on your Spanish courses. I first downloaded your free Synergy Spanish lessons and have been listening to them while driving. They are easy to follow and understand and so enjoyable that I now look forward to every trip I have to make in the car.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. The pace and clarity of your programs are excellent.

Yes, it is wonderful method.
I only wish if you can display the
text along with main conversation.
Thank you, and please keep it on.

I am sorry..
I found the text version on Extra
resources. Excellent !
Thank you again.

Hola Marcus
excellent addition to the course I am following with you.
Many Thanks

Hola Marcus,
estoy encantado, estos lecciónes de suen?o, me parece, son muy buenos para contender la lengua castellano.
Saludos Sandor

Hola Marcus,
sus cursos son muy buenos estoy encantado de ellos

Saludos Sandor

As with all of your lessons, this was
a great help to me. Please keep sending them. Muchas gracias, Marcus

Muy estimado Marcus. Estas lecciones gratuitas las encuentran muy útiles mis estudiantes. Sobre todo les ofrecen la oportunidad de practicar su pronunciación fuera de la aula. Le agradecemos muchísimo.

Marcos - is there an RSS feed link available for your blog?

Sorry, the lesson was jibberish. I need to see the words in writing as well as hearing them. I do not have the memory capability to just hear words and remember them. When I see them in writing and hear how they sound I can remember them pretty good. Thanks for the effort.

I have them all copied on cd’s,so while driving,while resting inside the house..and even in my ipod and mobilephone,it got to be with me most of the time…muchos gracias senor.

I could download all files. No problem.

Hola Marcos , muchas gracias por su ayudar.Ahora puedo estudiar y entender cada cosa en le manera buena y facila .Thank uuuuu , how helpful & useful thses lessons ,oh I’m just speechless & can’t find the word to thank u! now I have everything & iam more motivated & encouraged;Spanish now is very easy, thank u Marcos thank u!
Saludos y Besitossss

Thank you very much–everyday situations in simple, well constructed language

Thanks Marcus. Although I’m far behind on my Spanish lessons, your approach gives me the confidence to enjoy trying to communicate, stumble through my mistakes, and yet still have an enjoyable time attempting a meeting of minds in a new language. The hardest part for me is feeling confident enough to dive in, and your courses give me that confidence.

¡Salud!
Mark

Yes! By all means! I appreciate all that you have to offer and am very grateful for it. What you do for us all is amazing.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for another set of wonderful lessons. Your teaching method has given me the courage to talk to people and improve my Spanish - as I now live in Honduras thats kind of necessary!!! I wish you could put the same method for teaching English - so many people want me to help them learn English, but so far I did not find any really good sources.

Once again a fantastic set of lessons which lead you effortlessly to fluency. Thank you.

Hola Marcus
Muchos gracias. Your lessons are excellent. I’m taking a spanish class at the moment but have only learned a fraction there of what I have learned from your lessons.
Thank you very much

I do not know how I got this email with your training course, but THANKYOU!!
This is just what I have been looking for. I have been studying Spanish on my own and by taking a couple of classes and I have learned Mucho. I struggle, however with the speed thing, and am SO excited to follow your training! Thankyou again.

Thank you for sending your free lessons to me. I am pleased to have the transcripts that go with them as this can help if for some reason I have not grasped the pronunciation. I had stopped studying for some time and this has re-awakened my interest.

Muchas Gracias Marcus

¡Hola Marcus!
Me gustan mucho su lecciones de español y pienso las lecciones adicionales están un regalo excepcional. Muchas gracias.
Un saludo,
Philip

These lessions are very helpful.

Thank you

Willem

I find the lessons to be very helpful in understanding how the language is really used. Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.

Excellente Marcus

Muchas gracias
Wayne

my real problem is the speed of spanish; i can say that he last lessons you send to me helped me a lot. Thank you very much.

Best regards

very good lesson, help for us

I think your lessons are fanstastic and really appreciate the effort you have made in producing them. I would like a longer pause, so I can construct the answer mentally. Keep up the good work.

Marcus,

Thanks for making these lessons available. They are really practical and useful. It is clear that you are on to something with these and the other courses that you write.

I definately would be interested in any more lessons that you would make available. I just upgraded my mp3 player to make room for more of your courses!

–larry

Hi Marcus - it’s taken me a while to get round to trying the booster lessons -we have a new puppy in the familY! I am a great fan of whatever you put out because I believe the only way to learn a new language is to practice a little bit everyday. The more material available for me to do that the better. You have more to offer? Bring it on! And thanks

Muchas gracias, Marcus. I found this lesson on sleep very helpful. I enjoy this method of studying Spanish very much! I appreciate the slower speed so that I can really hear the sound of the words–the faster speed being one of my complaints with other courses.

I LOVE your lessons, I just wish I had time to linger over them and to do them all. Thanks to you, long-suffering Spanish people have a better chance of understanding me!
Le agradezco.

Estimado Marcus:
Me encantan sus lecciones porque no contienen nada de sobra, sólo cosas necesarias para aprender a hablar en castellano. Me ayudaron de verdad.
Muchísimas gracias por su trabajo y por la posibilidad de obtener sus lecciones.
¡Qué le va bien y mucha suerte!

Hi and greetings from France.
I bought your method “Shortcut to Spanish” some 18 months ago. I still enjoy listening them on a regular basis! Thanks also for the bonus lessons on sleeping, they are great!
Hasta la vista
Michi

I love this way of learning and feel more confident with each lesson. I am learning this way alongside traditional lessons at evening class and I really feel as if I am getting somewhere.

I have found the lessons very useful. Thank you

Thank you for these downloadable lessons..my college Spanish consists of many rules to learn (hard for me), this is different and easier. Also as I am a student and single parent the FREE part really helps out…GRACIAS!!

Muchas gracias, Señor Marcus.
You’re doing a great job. I like the way you teach Spanish.
I wish there were other languages to learn in the same way.

Thanks Marcus, it’s all very helpful. I really like your teaching style. Having a basic sentence structure made all the difference when I was in Spain this autumn. Stopped me being too tongue tied though understanding the reply was something else!

Malawi-Africa. I am preparing myself to go to Spain and these lessons were just incredible. Thanks so much for the great help you have given me. God bless you abundandly for being so generous

Thank you very much for the lessons you have been kind enough to send me Marcus, I must call an end to it as at 76 yrs. I find retention of my learning is zero, once again many thank’s

Thank you so much for these lessons. You’d think with name like ‘Lopez’ that Spanish would be a natural for me… but nooooo. Your lessons have been my greatest inspiration to continue the struggle. If it were not for the way you teach, I would have quit trying to learn. Thanks to you, I’m well on my way to fluency. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The lessons are great!! Thanks so much!

thanks so mach for the great help you have given me.

Hola Marcus, gracias por tanta gentileza y gracias por ayudar a tantas personas, necesitamos ser mas seres tan comprometidos como tu, para ayudar a los demás.

Mi no me había atrevido a enviarte este correo, pero la verdad es que en lugar de pedir que REQUIERO APRENDER INGLES, por error puse español, pero yo soy nativa del idioma español, soy mexicana y si me gustaría aprender ingles para poder apoyar a mis hijos y mejorar mi nivel académico.

I am listening to your lesson at work
and feel very confident with using spanish after going trough them…done some spanish lessons before..one more thing I need/necesito ir a la Espana y practicar mi idioma/

Adios /hasta pronto/

Hello Marcus, Thank you for the lessons. The lessons are fantastic! Your style of teaching is superior and will make learning easier and exciting.

I have enjoyed all of your courses and will definitely order Level 3 as soon as it is available. I appreciate the extras you give us also.
I would love it if you would make a tape saying something in Spanish first and then saying it in English. I am still having a hard time understanding it auditorially. Thanks..

Thank you so kindly for the “dream” lessons. I have only gone through the first three at this point, but I am amazed as always at how clearly the material is presented and how it “slips” into your brain without you noticing that you are REALLY LEARNING!!! Thanks again, for your generousity and devotion to your students.

Hola Marcus
Thank you so much for these free lessons
I am enjoying your way of teaching this beautiful language so much more
Thanks

Yes it is always useful

Hola Marcus,I’m 60 years old and I’ve wanted to speak and understand spanish since high school. My greatgrandmother was from mexico and my grandfather tried teaching me spanish when I was very young but I found what to me was more important things to do, Play with my friends. I took 2 years of spanish in high school to no avail and just gave up. For years I’ve been searching for a course that would help me become fluent in spanish. I started synergy spanish 2 months ago and it really put the hooks into me. I’m constantly studying and learning how to converse in spanish. I just cant’t get enough. My vocabulary and understanding of the language is just growing faster than what I expected. My goal is to be fluent by the time I go to my grandaughters highschool graduation next summer in California. Thankyou for the coaching and please keep it coming. I know I still have a long way to go but I’m confident that I will master this program. Gracias Profesor!

Hola Marcus,
I am currently working in Peru and prior to coming here, I could not speak, write or read Spanish whatsoever and I really enjoyed your original Synergy Spanish Course and started to speak Spanish immediately, enough to get by with at first… I am currently enrolled and enjoying your Bola de Nieve Course even more… All your ‘blogs’ and ‘freebies’ just add a bit more ‘flavour’ to your excellent Courses. Keep up the good work and I have and will continue to recommended your Spanish Courses to many of my colleagues…

It is very good materials for me to practice of Spanish. Muchas gracias.

it is such beautiful material that you have been sending me ,i am practicing it in my room daily

I cannot believe that I spent 2 years in boring classes with little success but 90 days and now people ask me where I am from ! This is Great Thanks

I have just started Bola Nieve. I enjoyed and appreciated Synergy Spanish. But Wow! The content and quality of this new course has given me the realisation that yes, I will speak Spanish and much sooner than I ever expected. Thank you Marcus, at last I am on the right track.
Regards
Lawrie
