Last year, I fulfilled a 20-year promise to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge around my 50th birthday.
I made two Spanish lessons about turning 50 and throwing a birthday party.
This year for my 51st birthday I’ve arranged to sleep in the Sydney zoo with my kids.
No, we are not an exhibit; we won’t be in a cage.
We’re glamping (glamorous camping). It’s part of Taronga Zoo’s Roar and Snore program.
Estoy emocionado. (I’m excited!)
Except for the giraffes I’ll have the best view of Sydney Harbour. In the morning we’ll get up to feed the animals with the zookeepers.
Post 50, I’m celebrating life and living it to the full.
Of course, 51 makes me a spring chicken.
I just saw that an 80 year old recently climbed Mount Everest.
La vida es bella. (Life is beautiful)
Here are the Spanish videos again. I created them when I was a sprightly 49 year-old.
Below is the follow up lesson to the one above. Just click on the video to start the lesson.
By the way: The Conversation Connections mentioned in the video above are on the link below now part of the Synergy Spanish Conversation Accelerator course.
Details of the course that grew from the Conversation Connections mentioned in the video above are on the link below:
Very good lesson, these two videos.
Mucho Gracias.
Muchas gracias Marcus, Sharon
Many thanks

Enjoyable again! thank you.
It’s ridiculous how much easier it is to learn Spanish when I can read and listen to the words simultaneously. More of these videos, please Marcos.
Thank you! I live in Honduras and this is helping a ton to supplement my independent study. Estoy a punto de hablar mucho mas espanol!!
Felicitations Marcus.
Estoy a punto de hablar mas español.
Gracias por todo.
Love the way you keep sending these free lessons to keep us motivated that we can learn the language (from a seventy year old). Mucho gracias
Mas videos por favor.
I really like your videos. More please especially on YouTube
I really enjoy your videos. I like that I can go back and listen to them from time to time. One topic suggestion is banking–exchanging money at a bank or asking to change a large bill for smaller ones, etc. Here in SPain, I often have to speak to the fish man and say what type of fish, how much, do I want the skin and bones taken out, etc. Fish is not precut and pre-packaged like in the USA. Would love a conversation about this! Just a suggestion.
Felicitations Marcus. Gracias por sus lecciones. Tengo sesenta y siete años, he estado tratando español por mucho años pero no tengo la oportunidad de hablar mucho con otra personas. She lecciones verdaderamente ayudarme. Mucho gracias.
Feliz Cumpleaños Marcos! Disfruta su día. Muchas gracias para la lección.
Dear Marcus,
I love the way you are teaching spanish, well done to invent this method.I learnd french starting
with all the irregular verbs, which was so boring. Tengo setenta años and the lessons give
me great pleasure.
Regards Kaja van Flandern
I love your teaching methods, but my schedule which is early morning gym and working late make studying very difficult but I try to listen to your free leason as much as I can. I travel to Latin countries and would use a English speaking guide, also the speed in which lataino speak is extremely difficult to absorb what they are saying this makes me hesitant to enroll in any Spanish courses, but I really like your simplistic approach to teaching and I am 56 years of age that might be my biggest problem
I think you’ll like this post:

Muchas gracias.
Loved it! I try to do a Spanish Lesson or two every day and these two lessons were perfect. your approach to speaking Spanish works so well for me. It is exactly the missing element in my studies up until now, providing the conversational practice I need to apply what I know to everyday conversations. Love it!
Excellent I can now discuss my years with others in Spanish
Thank you.
Mucho thanks for the extra help in these videos.

Happy birthday from another Don! I really like the way you present your lessons: building up in a natural way – easy but really keeps you on your toes (I wonder how that translates).

Dear Marcus,
Thank you for given me the oportunity to follow your lessons for free.It is really wonderful.
Hopefully one day I have the ability to follow more extended.
Your stories alone are so interesting.

Thanks again.
I keep following your emails.

Wish I could afford to order the lessons so I could synchronise my learning
However mucho gracias for the freebees
Hola Marcus,
I am going to unsubscribe now as I don’t feel connected to Spanish anymore. Thank you for all your help as I really appreciated it. The strong connection and passion for learning is not there any more due to negative experiences trying to learn, so it’s time to be honest and say that this language is not for me. Thanks again and best of luck in the future with teaching Spanish.
Cheers Paul
