Free Spanish Lesson #2

This lesson comes from ideas I worked on in the development of my Spanish Ear Training program…

These short segments each help you make distinctions in how native Spanish speakers really use the language, so you can better understand your amigos.

In this lesson you’ll learn…

  • Mistakes about time… these can cause some blank stares to come back at you and even cause a few red faces.
  • English words with two distinct meanings in Spanish… a common trap in understanding but one we can easily fix.
  • A touch of subjunctive…
  • A little pronunciation practice… smoothes out your pronunciation while you practice in free flowing sentences
  • It’s always good to know the common expressions… you’ll find them sprinkled throughout these lessons.

Leave me a comment and let me know how the lessons work out for you.

Saludos

Marcus Santamaria

The audio download would not download properly. First it was very slow then when it did finish, it was invalid.

Synergy Spanish is the best on the market as I have learned ever so much and now need to get out there and speak without being afraid. I thank you ever so much for this most wonderful course as I probably would have given up by now. I traveled to Bogotá Colombia March 2008 and met my very best friend in the world and got to practice my Spanish with some wonderful people of Colombia. It was an experience of a lifetime that I shall never forget as I shall return soon.

thank you Marcus

I will be able to comment on the lessons later, but as I have only just downloaded them….
I expect they will be up to your usual high standard.
I would like to have some lessons where numbers are used, and also I would like to see lessons on how to ask for and get directions in a strange city—directions using addresses, street names, landmarks, etc.

Excellent. I enjoyed them. As I suggested in your quiestionnaire, I’d like to hear material in Spanish grade in the speed of the various speakers. I find Spanish broadcasts almost impossible to follow owing to speed of the speaker. Something we don’t usually suffer from in English

Hola Marcus,

I just completed this exercise all today! It is really excellent and I feel it is all coming together. The subjunctive is a little tricky! You break it all down into small parts so it is not overwhelming. You have a great gift and you understand where non Spanish people get confused and disillusioned with grammar. Keep up the good work. I highly recommend all your courses to anyone interested in getting to grips with Spanish!

Muchas gracias, Evelyn.

Hi Marcus,
Thanks a lot, again. No problem with the downloads. I think if you have a problem with your downloads, it`s because of not knowing your computers ins and outs. Just follow the directives!
The course itself is very helpful to fill in those everyday situations you are likely to come across.

The lessons were excellent because they developed an awareness of idiom. It would be very useful if transcripts were provided so that we could scroll down while listening to the lesson. This would add a visual dimension and create synergic learning outcomes.

RonNo Gravatar on November 24th, 2008 at 6:11 pm #

I have been studying Spanish for years, and have never found an easier way to learn the language. Its about time someone started using the right technique. Having to learn rules is a turn off, and unless you have a great understanding of your own language, it is difficult to understand. We learned our native tongue by verbal communications withour parents, mama dada, etc., then were drafted into an institution called school to learn the rules after we could communicate and that works, learning the rules first is absurd. I have learned more in the short time I have been using your system than I did in ten years and I have 4 years of Spanish taught by our education system in the US. Your program is superb, keep up the good work, Bravo. The best I have used and I have used many…

*For those who have asked, the link to the transcripts is located at the top right-hand side of the page of lessons. I use XP (yuck) but I also use a great FREE zip program called jZip. I didn’t right-click, I just left-clicked, and it downloaded into my zip program sin problemas.

Thank you Marcus for your second set of lessons. I have listened to them and they are very helpful. Several new useful phrases for me to learn.

Thanks again for the second set of bonus lessons. I think that by now you can feel assured when you plan and then produce these lessons that there are folks eager to go the next step in their Spanish journey.

I really like the examples that are full of everyday expressions. It seems that whenever I learn new word or phrase I hear or read it the next day.

Also, I love getting new lessons sent to me on a regular basis. It makes the day special and keeps me on track.

Thank you so much Marcus for all your lessons – they have increased my confidence in speaking Spanish enormously. My friends are envious of my progress so I recommend you at every opportunity!

Tried to down all 8 at once, but it didn’t work. Probably because I don’t know what I’m doing. Downloaded the 8 individually, and it seemed to work ok.

I can download this to an MP3 player, but I can’t download it onto a CD so I can listen in my vehicle. Is there a different audio file that can be downloaded to a CD?

David SchultheisNo Gravatar on December 1st, 2008 at 2:12 pm #

It would be helpful if you provided a text file with the written spanish and english to go with the audio.
Thanks,
Dave

No problem downloading, and yes, it is brilliant!!! Thanks a million

Jim C'fordNo Gravatar on December 2nd, 2008 at 9:26 pm #

Downloaded fine. I’ve listened to 6 so far and found them to be very helpful. My only problem is that I’m inclined to be a little lazy in committing to study, but your presentation is “muy buen”. I’m currently going for a Higher Spanish at my local college so this is a very helpful backup since the listening aspect seems to be the most difficult for me and most of my fellow students. Great material Marcus, and I’m aged 61. Thanks, and I’ll try to be more diligent!

To anyone who would like to learn Spanish.

I have been on lots of Spanish courses and even had a Spanish tutor at one time along with many styles of learning. I have to say that Synergy Spanish is by far the best way to learn. My girlfriend is Spanish and cant believe the progress that I am making on my own with Synergy Spanish.

Thank you and good luck for the future.

Kind Regards

Alan

I think your lessons are quite brilliant and give amazing confidence to the hesitant student. It sorts of goes in subliminally which is very astute. Thankyou.
