My name is Edmundo Ortega, I would like more about your offer for “Small Talk”, Is that a complete course or is just the start for being more familiar with the language?
I purchased Synergy Spanish back in 2005-6, before you offered the online options you do now. It got me through my Spanish Class as Top of the Class. I was even able to order breakfast from McDonalds, and after having been in line listening to the Spanish guys working there talk about those of us in-line whom they thought couldn’t understand what they were saying, when I got to the counter, and my Lilly-white self began ordering in Spanish, the workers faces grew pale. They then realized that I knew everything that they had been saying while I waited in line to order my breakfast. LOL, I guess they won’t be talking smack about us white people in the breakfast line anytime soon!
Anyway, I just wanted to say what an awesome system you have here, and I wish everyone taught it like you do. A gain, thanks. SK in VA.
