Bola de Nieve

My father in law was looking after my son. When I got home he gave me the report of the day. He said with great pride…

El niño se comió todo.

If I took a textbook definition of el niño se comió, I’d have been worried about my son. You see according to textbook rules, el niño […]

We’ll start with the Spanish […]

So many people have a Spanish blockage.

They know words. They know verbs. They know grammar, but they can’t put it together into anything useful.

One of the ingredients to unblocking your Spanish is the Sideways Approach to Spanish verbs that I showed you a few days ago.

There’s a second big ingredient […]

Here’s a transcript of the first Sideway Spanish lesson

The original audio is still available on this page. It’s about half way down the page.

I’m so glad I let this Sideways Spanish cat out of the bag. […]

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 […]

Hola amigos

When I first started learning Spanish I kept coming across words ending in “arse.”

That’s not as bad as it looks. It’s pronounced “AHR SEH.”

I am sure you have seen it too with words like these:

levantarse
cambiarse
casarse
preguntarse
acostumbrarse
cansarse
enfermarse
enojarse
escaparse
mejorarse
preocuparse

They are like taco stands in Tijuana, or Jack in the Box burger joints in Southern California – everywhere you […]

The key to dominating any Spanish verb in any tense.

I’m going to reveal one of my teaching secrets…

I almost wanted to keep it to myself because I have never seen a Spanish course that teaches this way. It’s one of the keys (I have six others) to why I get perhaps more praise than any […]

Hola Amigos

You know it’s really hard to stay on a track when creating a Spanish course

There’s always a niggling little voice…

I remember when I created Synergy Spanish… I always heard the voice of a language coordinator that I worked with ringing in my head.

She was a grammar fanatic and as I was writing the course I […]

One concerned student wrote to tell me she was horrified that Elena’s voice wasn’t on the sample lessons.

I showed Elena the email, finding out she was missed so much brought a big smile to her face.

Even though she is my wife, sometimes, it’s a bit of a juggling act to enlist her for recording sessions. […]

I’ll be releasing the much-anticipated follow-up to Synergy Spanish on Tuesday November 20.

Before the release I’m making available, for just a few days, some sample lessons.

Why a snowball?
