Here is a unique little trick you can use right away to speak authentic Spanish.
Any time you want to express the idea “I am a/an…” in Spanish you can use soy, for example:
Soy australiano
I am an Australian
Soy profesor de español
I am a Spanish teacher
Soy católico
I am a catholic
Soy padre de dos hijos
I am a father of two children
Soy fanático del fútbol
I am a football fan
Soy fanático del salud
I am a health nut (fanatic)
No soy mexicano pero espero que México gane la Copa de América.
I am not Mexican but I hope that México will win the Copa de America.
Why not use it just like you would in a real-life conversation with your amigos?
It’s part of the conversation in the second free video in my all-new series “Spanish—passion, unity and friendship.”
You can speak-to-learn with this unique little trick right now with the video below.
By the way, if you missed the first lesson it’s on the link below:

I like the simple way of learning. Simple first and then add-ons.
Thank you.
enjoyed this lesson so much
Fabulous teaching method, I’ve practiced about 12 lessons now over 2 weeks, love the flow, making some notes as I go along, love the way its taught, love how they build on each other. Love how fast I am overcoming my past hang ups. Definitely a seamless way to learn.
I LIKE refreshing my Spanish with your lessons.
enjoy your lessons.
Thank you for the second lesson Marcus. Like the first one, it was very edifying.
Thank you Marcus for another interesting, and educational lesson.
Excelente, otra vez! GRACIAS!!!
Very good teacher thank you
I Think it is a good way to learn Spanish. I have emprooved already. But I Think it is difficult to go back and find the lesson I need. I am Danish and I use a lot of time reading English and the adverticing of people emproving Their Spanish. I find that anoing. I don’t need to go through all that to find my level.I would like to find my lesson right away.
This is the BEST way I have ever been able to learn Spanish.
I write to you, a lot, as I want more DVD’s.
I am nearly done with the first series………I listen to it all of the time, in my car.
I have worked in Ecuador, Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala……I still work in the last 3 countries. My fluent friends, there, say my Spanish is MUCH better, since I started with Synergy. I recommend it to anyone who will listen to me !
I am 68!
GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!
Interesting learning method.
Does add to fluidity.
Liked how words built on each other to make sentences fairly effortlessly.
Would have liked to have learned the difference in “amigo” and “amiga” in the lesson.
Very good lesson. I find myself getting hung up on a single word which blows the whole sentence.This is why I fear speaking in Spanish to Spanish speaking people.
Thanks Marcus
Dear Martus,
I really enjoy the 4 free videos of Spanish passion, unity and friendship. They help to reinforce the other Spanish lessons that I am studying now. While I am picking up some of the new vocabulary, I am able to review the ones I learn in other Spanish lessons.
Thanks for the freebies!

No me gusta mucho el futbol. Pero, me encanta la leccion de Espanol. Quiero aprender mas Espanol cada dia. Tengo que practicar mi Espanol para aprender a hablar. Gracias Marcus y adios por un rato.
Thanks, Marcus. Your teaching is informative and enjoyable.
The woman commentator in this audio broadcast has a VERY annoying voice. She sounds like a six year old.
Thank you Marcus, I really enjoyed your way of teaching. I am not as quick as might be but never the less I press on. Thank you.
Buena leccion
No soy una fanatica del futbol pero esta lección es muy importante para aprender y repetir lo que he aprendido con su ayuda. Que bueno !
Gracias y hasta pronto.
I enjoyed this learning
thank you
Thank you once more for making Spanish fun to learn!
Me gusta mucho la lección. Espero que aprenda mas.
Another great lesson. Really good stuff.
I just arrived back in Australia from doing the Camino track.Although the locals claim their Spanish is different I managed to make myself understood with only three months of your lessons.
well done mr marcus i so much like your lessons and i have learnt alot from it thanks so much waiting for more
Very good learning material .
Nice timely lesson, Marcus.
Messi played here in Chicago last week and scored three goals in about 20 minutes!
I don’t think anyone can really challenge that he’s numero uno!
El fin de semana pasado, Mexico got their brains blown out, which I’m sure you know.
Yes, I saw Mexico implode. However, Chile played beautifully. I like there attacking style.
Hi Marcus
Thanks for another great lesson,just to let you know i have just come back from spain and i felt more confident speaking the language.Muchas gracias otra vez.
como siempre, me gustan mucho sus videos. muchas gracias Marcus. Saludos Marit
This is great.
Another very helpful lesson. Thanks Marcus keep them coming. Muchos gracias amigo
Love your way of teaching
Hi Marcus. YES I really do like the way you’ve done this one with the male and female versions. That is something i’m still a bit unsure of. I wish you’d do that in every lesson, it was really good thanks.
Excellent, put it like that, it’s simple.
Excellent! Thanks for making it so easy. Richard
Cree que hablo mejor Espanol con cada leccion y se entiendo mas.
Always a pleasure to learn new ways to speak Spanish,
Gratias Marcus

Me sorprende que mi mente parece ser capaz de recordar qué decir, incluso si hago errores leves las palabras cae en su lugar. Fantástico. estos son mis pensamientos, pero he usado el traductor para escribir las palabras. Gracias Marcus.
Soy de Inglaterra, pero espero que Espana gane la Copa Europa!
Hi hi hi hi
I sure like the two genders speaking. It helps to see the different verb ending for male or female.
Thanks very much
Me gustan tus lecciones. Gracias Marcus.
very fun
Brilliant as usual, gracias
Thanks Marcus… I’m a slow learner and not focusing as frequently as I’d like, but your method is great and little by little I think I am gaining.
Margot
Mucho Gracias Marcus,
You are so kind and any material you send not only helps but excites me to continue to listen to you and learn. In my recent visit to Spain I was able to use expressions and sentence making as you taught in Synergy and Short Cut courses.
Saludos
