Here’s a transcript of the first Sideway Spanish lesson
The original audio is still available on this page. It’s about half way down the page.
I’m so glad I let this Sideways Spanish cat out of the bag. It’s helping a lot of people breakthrough their blockages with Spanish. See their comments below the audio on this page.

The English language has its rules. And it is so nice to learn the rules of Spanish. This is so much fun, as for decades I could never get beyond como te llama. My computer wants to “correct” my spelling. Bear me. I study for an hour or two everyday and I love it. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Marcus, I really appreciate these and all the memos you send and it does help me with Spanish!!
Thank you very much Marcus, I love your teaching.
I am thrilled to keep going. Sometimes it is a time problem.
The good thing, I am a early bird and study early in the morning, most of the time,
which help me a lot. My mind is the best in the morning.
I am currently using your Bola de Nieve course which is perfect for me. However, my husband is not as familiar with Spanish and he needs more Sideways Spanish before he can do well at Bola de Nieve. You have sent me lesson one, but we go thru a lesson everyday. Is there anyway you can send me more Sideways Spanish at a more rapid pace? He appreciates it!
I expect to finish all your Bola de Nieve in the next two months. We will live in Peru starting September.
Thank you for the best course I have ever seen.

Iam very impressed with the ease it is to get into speaking Spanish with your Sideways Spanish.
I love it but could not get the audio on first lesson to open. Pleas send more lessons thanks.
Helping me much with my Spanish
Hey it seems that after every few days the pages for Spanish lessons
Disappear. Please send it to me and please don’t delete it. I have a suspicion that you periodically delegate it. How can I trust you with that kind of dealing and subscribe for anything else?

I am just a beginner but you have helped me so much well done looking forward for future lessons you have become a big part of my day
I must say thank you for these lessons. I am excited to come online each day to practice my Spanish.
Seems sensible to me
Muchas gracias
This lesson is great. Thank you.
50 years ago in my early 20s, I did well at Spanish unfortunately today it is hard for me; I spent six month’s in Ecuador last winter and this winter I am in Mexico. I will keep trying but remembering is difficult.
I love it
I´ve lived in Mexico for 23 yrs now and your audio was interesting to me……I’ve tried to learn the verbs and pretty much have the past, present and future down, using, somewhat your teaching pattern……ends with O, like YO…..so I was shocked to see another brain working like mine! It’s fun and a good practice. Gracias…
I am totally impressed with your teaching skills. Having taught French as a second language over 40 years ago, I cannot comprehend that this method was not used . It makes total sense. I totally love your course, and as a 67 year old, I am confident that I will learn Spanish that will serve me extremely well during my long stays in Mexico. No other method has been as efficiient. I have been taking courses on and off for the last ten years and this is by far tops!
I HAVE BEEN A STUDENT OF SPANISH FOR YEARS, BUT ADMITTEDLY MURDER THE VERBS. YOUR COURSE AND METHOD IS MOST HELPFUL. AGRADECIDO MUCHO. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE.
I am so happy and excited about your program as well as the opportunity to be able to speak Spanish fluently. I have gone through your introductory lesson, and it works so well for me. I can hardly wait to begin.
All I can say is muchas gracias!!!! I love love love your lessons.
Let me add my gracias to all the others here. I’ve only done the first lesson so far, but it has certainly opened my eyes about verbs in Spanish. I am trying to learn the language so that I can communicate when I go to Central America next summer. Thanks again. I promise to work hard and learn well.

Just getting better as I go
Well done Marcus . Thanks so much
Spanish is such a lovely language and for me being able to communicate in Spanish…….is priceless, thank you so much Mr Santamaria for this golden opportunity.
I love the system. It makes me a better speaker and I’ve enjoyed adding words to my vocabulary without the need to memorize lists. Cognates are great!
Gracias por esta página que nos sirve, para iniciarnos en el aprendizaje de un lengua diferente a la nuestra el español. Muy buen aporte a la comunidad.
I just want to say thank you i just finish my lesson. I’m really trying to be fluent by July of this year.

Thanks!

I am in the Culinary field, relieved to find a site that can help me communicate with my coworkers,this is a great start looking forward to the whole program love the concept
I would prefer written transcript as I have a slight hearing problem especially through a computer.
I have liked the first Sideway Spanisch lesson very much so far, so let’s see the rest.
Thank you very much.
Delighted with how much I could understand and say after just one lesson. Great to have a transcript and audio to review. Looking forward to the next session. C. Ormon
I have had quite a bit of Spanish, but I speak pigeon Spanish and I hate it. I would like some advice as to which of up your courses I should begin. Lori

At the very beginning, I was extremely satisfied con mi lecciones. I hated conjugacion en escuela. You are now making it very easy for me to understand and not get frustrated. Gracias. Por favor keep the great work you’re doing. Otro vez, gracias.
I love this site I have a lot of knowledge of Spanish but only get to speak some on holidays from one year to the next so I forget a lot of it I think this site will bring me on leaps and bounds Thank you
Marcus Thank you for responding I cannot register at this time, I hope you understand.
I really enjoy learning little snippets of meaningful ‘real life conversation’. Thank you Marcus!
Are tou kidding me! This is awesome! We are noth taking Spanish classes twice a week for two hours each time and this makes it so much easier than the VERB CHARTS! Keep it coming Marcus…you are making our maestras job facil!
I am trying to learn to speak Spanish @ 67 years – you first course on verbs was great.
Kind regards & thank you.

¡Gracias señor Santamaria por su método brillante para enseñar! Ahora me gusta estudiar lenguajes mucho. Gracias a su método. (please forgive my rough translation, but I wanted to try=))
I found this very helpful and easy to use, looking forward to learning more. THANK YOU very much x
Thanks Marcus
Ive just enjoyed one lesson so far but so far it is way better than a well known box set of tapes!
Maeve
I may enjoy this, nothing comes up when I click to download. What am I doing wrong?
Try right clicking.
I took my first lesson yesterday and I have to say I already can understand and speak more Spanish! The lesson was fun and easy. Not like my other spanish class attempts. I look forward to becoming conversationally fluent in a few months.
Thanks Marcus for sharing your teaching.

I taught ESL for many years with much success. However recently I began taking Spanish lessons and felt overwhelmed— until I came across your method. Bravo! It makes everything so much easier. Thank you.
please I like one dialogo wiht the present perfect, present progrsive and adjectives, time past and futuro thank you
Awesome! Only a day, and here I am in the store and could understand somewhat of other customers’ conversation as they speak in Spanish.
It looks great. It is good insight to basic phrases and makes me better understand about leaviing off the pronouns off the verbs
