If you turn Spanish sideways it turns everything about learning upside down.
You don’t have to feel intimidated by all the linguistic jargon anymore. And forget the enthusiasm killing analysis paralysis.
Instead, I’ll show you how by turning Spanish sideways you start speaking in minutes. And by using the language you learn fast.
By the way, if you’re wondering what I mean by Sideways Spanish, I explain the concept on this page. You’ll also find an audio that shows you how to use it, about half way down that page.
Once that first step is under your belt, it’s time for Sideways Spanish dos.
In this step instead of intimidating terminology like STEM CHANGING VERBS, RADICALLY CHANGING VERBS AND IRREGULAR VERBS.
We’ll just turn the verb chart sideways.
We’ll focus on one pattern and speak more Spanish. Verbs that were enemigos suddenly become your amigos, ready to help you say more with your Spanish.
Go go go and speak some Spanish now with the video & audio below:
Is this the last Sideways Spanish course? Will there b more? I am quite enjoying these.
There are 3 lessons in this series.
This is awesome
Thank you! Sideways Spanish is great! It’s a little early for me as I am only half way through the course. Being that I always wanted to be able to speak Spanish, the thought of learning it was repulsive. And consequently I probably even set myself for failure. But I grind along every day for an hour or two, and really enjoy being immersed in learning. I love it when out of the blue, something comes along that makes a difference in my life. And it was so easy. I must have rung a bell in the cosmos saying I want to learn Spanish and you received my message. And here it came into my mail box. You sent a sample you make it affordable and I realized finally that I can do this. And do, I do. Thank you very much for making it real. June
Muchas Gracias. My Spainish is improving todo los dias. Repetition is the mother of retention!! So no need to change anything Marcus

Video dos will not download for me.
I love your teaching very much.
I am a little disappointed, because your audio lesson is only speaking, no reading possible.
Which is very important to me, that way I am learning faster and also seeing how to write it.
I always love to study from you. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Irene Marshall
We are adding video version of all our lessons. This one will be available in video soon.
Muchas gracias
I have been studying Spanish for a long while. I find the verbs the most frustrating. Thank you for these lessons. I have enjoyed the two lessons.
Very helpful. Thanks
Very interesting, but I thought that I would see the Spanish words in this lesson as I did in the first.
Great approach just wish I had reliable internet to be able to sign up for the course. Living on a boat and travelling the world has its disadvantages!
We now have an apps that fixes the connection problem. You can download Synergy Spanish to your for Android device or iPhone and iPad and then play them offline.
Excellent!!!! It is so much easier to focus on one person with these stem-changing verbs. Thank you. I am looking forward to the next lesson!!
Very helpful and easy to engage with. Thanks
I love it!…but there is no sound…. Thanks for your help….. I have checked my sound and it is on full blast
It is really a good way to learn spanish.It is easy to remember and speak out
Thank you. This is the easiest way to learn to speak I have ever found.
Tengo mucha confianza en su sistema.
Brilliant…….makes it so much easier to grasp the sense of talking about oneself in a variety of situations.
Can’t wait for the next lesson………I have done. Six lessons today and enjoyed them all with no aching brain. EXELLENTE.
Much as Gracias
Hola Marcus,
Me gusta mucho y estoy muy contento con la lecion. Grasias Rozita
Once again Marcus has easily explained the use of some verbs compared to other texts or sites that I have used in the past.His overall simple and straightforward instructions are not only easy to follow but also are fun. Keep it up Marcus!
I have been studying Spanish off and on for over a year and this lesson really helped me understand verb endings and how easy it can be. It reminded me of the old saying,”KISS”->Keep It Simple ‘S’-and we all know what the ‘S’ stands for and in my case it probably is referring to me since prior to this lesson,I was not “keeping it simple”. Thank you Marcus!
I am determined to learn Spanish so your course is a great starter for me. It would help to see the written text as Elena speaks it. I may not be a fast learner but I WILL learn Spanish. I sometimes cannot hear the pronounciation clearly. Thanks again for the opportunity.
Hi. I just wanted to say, that those outside of England do not realize how difficult it is to lean Spanish (if not in an educational setting that teaches languages that is). For we may not know of anyone who speaks Spanish. Marcus’ teaching, for me, has made Spanish ‘come alive’. All the theory, conjugation charts, article usage, interrogatives, etc, all make sense. What the words actually mean, how they are to be interpreted., applied. I can even deduce how and where to use the Preterite. Although I still have no-one to actually converse with, my confidence in using Spanish is growing daily, and all thanks to Marcus (plus my relentlessness and refusal to quit)
Hola Marcus,
Es muy importante de repetir lo que he aprendido y usted es un ayuda muy bien.
Gracias por todo y hasta pronto.
Que vaya bien.
Me gusta este “stuff”!
Sir. Thank for your time and effort.
Only on the second lesson but it is awesome.
I enjoyed the technique.
Great lesson, makes it so easy
Great strategy, content and pacing!
I would prefer that the script accompany the lesson.
Outstanding! After years of studying Spanish using a top name self study course I still test out at an intermediate level. Your approach is fast, easy and fun and I am already feeling the difference and starting to “THINK IN SPANISH”! Looking forward to learning more, especially the course about training your ear to understand Spanish up to speed.
This is great, but I need to see the words that I’m speaking. I cannot hear to make out what some of the words are that are being used. Hearing loss is such a drag. So, I’m taking notes, and pronouncing. I’m a visual learner anyway. Got to have the written word. In the beginning was the word.
I am Polish and learning Spanish from English language it is a bit more difficult that if I have learn it from my native language , but I found it easier that I thought. Thank you
Just finished lesson 2. It is making so much sense. Thanks
This is a wonderful approach to learning a language. I have taken two other language courses on the internet…they are good.. I have also taken a first year university course, but Marcus’ approach adds a new perspective as it focuses on oral Spanish and uses a refreshingly different method. Spanish is such a beautiful language and I thoroughly recommend Synergy.
I always follow your lessons and I cannot get enough! I recently met a lady who is doing Spanish lessons through a reputable training facility in our Country and she spoke in Spanish to one of my Cuban colleagues. The only thing I could think of is that she knows all these words, but cannot string a sentence together! She even complimented me on my pronounciation, saying I sound authentically Spanish! All thanks you you Marcus!
Found this lesson very easy to follow. Great way to learn Spanish.
Thank you’ I have lived in Baja for 17 years and picked up a lot of words,thank you for putting them together.You have taught me more in your first 2 free videos than all of the text I have read.I’m truly impressed with your system.
thanks for the wonderful key that unlock new doors into Spanish
Usually found myself tongue-tied after trying to repeat four words in a row. I can’t believe how simple your method was.
Me gusta! Gracias.
Thank you. So much easier than text book approach
It’s jolly good – making me think now – and sometimes I get it right!
Appreciate and enjoy the “sideways approach “to grammar very much Marcus.!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I like this method of learning. Quite reminiscent of Pimsleur’s tapes which I used years ago. This is a great way to prep for our annual trip to Mexico.
Very helpful. Use this audio along with my every day class assignments. Gracias
Thank you again for simplifying spanish
Hi,I,m in Spain Benidorm,your side ways lessons are great. I do have some problems listening to words starting B,V,F,S, ,my hearing is through hearing aids ,some visuals would help .Many thanks
Thank you again for making these lessons available. Your approach is very helpful. I just have to keep listening and repeating until I can remember. Looking forward to lesson three.
