“I wish I could go back to Peru again since my Spanish is so much better now”
I wish I could go back to Peru again since my Spanish is so much better now – thanks to your courses. Now I could really have a true conversation with the family members, especially the little girl in the blue sweater who so much wanted to talk to me and get me dancing at the fiesta.
As I’ve told you in the past, getting the words from my brain to my mouth was a major barrier, not so much for fear of saying it wrong but the inability to string it all together. The combination of oral practice and reading the words plus your clear explanations has completely removed that obstacle and I really enjoy being able to chat with people on a wide variety of subjects.
“I can understand more and more when I listen to the radio”
Todos los días, paso 1 hora aprendiendo con Marcus. Las lecciones son muy interesantes. Cada mes es muy agradable recibir nuevas lecciones. También me gusta el precio, es justo.
Solo tengo 5 meses y ahora puedo hablar, leer el periódico y comprender más y más cuando escucho la radio.
Estoy muy contenta con este curso. El método de enseñanza de Marcus es definitivamente superior a cualquier otro.
Everyday I spend 1 hour learning with Marcus. The lessons are very interesting. Each month it is very enjoyable to receive new lessons. Also, I like the price, it is very fair.
I only have 5 months(studying) and now I can speak, read the newspaper and understand more and more when I listen to the radio.
I am very happy with this course. Marcus’ teaching method is superior to any other. Muchas gracias Marcus.
“I was able to write for the first time with confidence”
“I could understand everything without any problem”
She made me listen to a cd and I could understand everything without any problem. She said that all the other students complained that the Spanish was too fast.
“I’m learning in leaps and bounds with your style”

“I am very much enjoying learning Spanish with your courses”
Before this I knew a few words and phrases but when I tried to put them together it was not going too well. By the time I finished Shortcut to Spanish I was making sentences up in my head to translate into Spanish while walking to the bus to go to work.
I have since bought Synergy Spanish and I’m really “cooking” now. I’m almost finished the end of part 2 and thoroughly enjoying the experience.
I am travelling to Costa Rica at the end of this month and hopefully will be able to put my Spanish to good use.
Thank you for all your efforts in producing these programs.
“I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over”
I have tried soooo many courses and for the most part they are bloody awful. I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over.
Thanks for providing an excellent practical beginner course… Muchas gracias profesor.
“I have recommended your program to many friends and others
as the best way to start learning Spanish”
While I have the full Transparent Languages Now program, I seldom use it as I find your system to be much easier and more productive.
“I learned more in a few weeks than I have with any other method”
“The Spanish I picked from your course was useful and helpful”

“You have given me more than I ever expected when I bought your lessons.
I am so impressed with the whole package”
Debbie later added
You have always answered my letters, thank you. You have given me more than I ever expected when I bought your lessons. You have said that you would be available for “coaching” and you have kept your word. I am so impressed with the whole package.
“I really believe that if I had not found you I might well have abandoned
the whole project of learning to speak Spanish”
I looked around, even took a summer series of classes – but eventually found you on the Internet. Since then I have been working my way through your lessons, listening to each as many times as I need to before moving on to the next. I even took a break and then picked you up again without losing anything that I could detect – I merely backed-up a few lessons to get warmed up.
I just returned home from 8 days visiting with my son and daughter-in-law in Mexico. I thought it would be fun to create an ‘immersion course’ for myself and, therefore, spent a total of 10 hours with a private tutor – it was both fun and useful – but only because I had done all the work with your material!!
My teacher found me fascinating because I could actually speak much more, with better pronunciation, than she expected. We addressed issues of grammar only as they were useful to my progress in understanding.
By the way – I’m 68 years old and a retired physician – I had, and have, no wish to take any more formal lessons,or worse still, any more evaluation tests ( been there- done far more than my fair share!)
Thank you for all your work – I really believe that if I had not found you I might well have abandoned the whole project of learning to speak Spanish.
“The only Spanish course I ever completed from start to finish without giving up”
“I find it so easy to put my thoughts into understandable sentences”
I find it so easy to put my thoughts into understandable sentences and its just getting better all the time.
“I expected that in middle age it would either be a losing battle
or a difficult struggle”
Instead, with your lessons, it has been fun!! Your lessons are perfectly paced, with new words introduced at just the right rate and repeated in later lessons to solidify them. Somehow your classes are very motivating and enjoyable. I guess it’s partly learning words in the context of sentences, which really builds confidence, and the way you structure the lessons. I expected I’d have to “make myself” listen to the lessons; instead I find I’m rewarding myself with them after getting work done at my office.

“I was speaking Spanish with all of my old Cuban friends in no time”
Once you get the basic formula down, everything is smooth sailing from there. I just needed someone to lay that formula out for me in a simplified manner. You couldn’t have made it any easier. Again Marcus…you are genius! YOU ROCK!
I thought I’d let you know how fantastic I did on my last trip to Cuba. I could not wait to test out everything I had learned with your course. I was a little hesitant at first but once I had a few Pina Coladas, I was speaking Spanish with all of my old Cuban friends in no time. They did correct me on one or two things but were very, very impressed. I had visited with them only two months ago and knew nothing but “hola, si and gracias”. They were thrown right off! I was even translating for the tourists downtown, it was great!
I felt all tingly inside whenever I had finished a whole conversation in Spanish. My Canadian girlfriend who came with me, just sat back in awe. Wow did I feel good. I have no one else to thank but you Marcus. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
“I am very impressed with your course. It’s an excellent way of
gaining a large vocabulary in a short time”
I am very impressed with your course. It’s an excellent way of gaining a large vocabulary in a short time..
“Makes it very easy to both learn and remember the words and to speak them
right away, even in sentences!”
As well, the way the material is presented makes it very easy to both learn and remember the words and to speak them right away, even in sentences!
“The grammar is taught in a clear way that is not at all painful to study
nor difficult to learn”
“I am learning more each day”
1. It is set up very well with the lessons #1 to 31 sessions to learn and know the written words and their use.
2. The flash cards help me become familiar with the Spanish words, with the English equivalent.
3. The audio lessons are an essential part in learning to hear and understand to be able to speak the language.
I am making a trip to Columbia later this year and I want to be able to communicate in Spanish. I am learning more each day.

“I’m telling all my friends…”
“I just returned from two weeks in Cuba”
“Once in Mexico I found myself speaking the language. I was so excited I was almost beside myself”
The country side was beautiful, the canyon breathtaking, the food excellent, and the people simply wonderful all along the way.
Up until this recent trip I had not spoken Spanish with anyone at all, just repeating the lessons as laid out.
Once in Mexico I found myself speaking the language. I was so excited I was almost beside myself, and to top it all off on more than one occasion Spanish speakers remarked on my excellent pronunciation as well as my spoken spanish in general. Never once did anybody hesitate before answering me.
Kudos to you and your “Spanish Language Courses” Marcus. I am forever grateful.
“I’m surprised at how much I can understand after only 6 weeks”
“I think the course is great”
“With other teaching styles, I would give up”
“I thought I was a lost cause until I found your course”
My wife is fluent in Spanish up to the point where people think she is from a Spanish speaking country.
But me I thought I was a lost cause until I found your course. I am shocked by how much Spanish I have gained in 18 lessons. Thank you very much for your course somehow it clicked for me and I enjoy the course.
We made some good Mexican friends last year and we got close to a family. My sole regret was I could not speak with them at all without the help of my wife. Now this is all change because of your course.
So again thank you for having done a so wonderful course which without I could not learn as I had tried in the past and nothing was working. I am 60 year old and retired.
