Fútbol is a subject guaranteed to spark a passionate conversation with just about any red blooded native Spanish speaker. That’s why I have a special audio lesson to get you into those conversations.
This Sunday Spain takes on Italy in The final of the European Cup 2012.
España es el campeona actual del mundo y de Eurocopa.
(Spain is the current world and European champion.)
If they win on Sunday they will become the first team ever to complete a triple of the European Cup, followed by a World Cup win and then another European cup.
Like many things in the Spanish-speaking world their style of playing futbol is full of flair and panache
They are one of the few teams that play an attacking style.
A win on Sunday might be just the inyección de animo (morale boost) that Spain needs after all the bad news about their economy lately.
I am a little torn. My dad is Italian, so a part of me wants to say
Forza Italia
En cambio (on the other hand) for their flair, style and attacking play, I also want to say,
Viva España.
A la hora de inicio del partido (at the match’s kick off time) I’ll find out where my passions lie.
During the last World Cup Elena and I created some special Spanish lessons. The vocabulary is still relevant, except for the word Mundial (World Cup). If you are chatting with your friends just substitute Eurocopa.
Although the lessons are about fútbol, you’ll use everyday Spanish patterns that build fluency. Even if you’re not into fútbol it’ll still help you communicate.
And if, like me, te gusta el fútbol (you like the fútbol) then you’ll love being able to chat on this subject.
Start talking fútbol with the audios below:
Here’s your Fútbol lección de español, Parte Uno
Here’s your Fútbol lección de español, Parte Dos
Thank you. This is excellent and easy to learn clear pronunciation of words.
this is amazing
I liked very. Thanks a lot.
My question is : why do I need to know feminine masculine,nouns,vowel,consonant? when baby start to learn to speak he or she does not know any of them as it is not important to them so if it is not important to them: it is not important full stop. I’m sure you can do away with them and make learning spanish far easier.please let me know what you think of my way of thinking, TY

Hola Marcus,
Yo no puedo gracias suficientemente para tus lecciones. Si no fuera para usted yo no siera capaz de hablar espanol asi como hago. Yo recomiendo siempre que a todos les hablo para aprender espanol. Gracias for todas lecciones gratis tambien.
Mi primera experiencia con el aprendizaje de espanol no era bueno, no hasta cerca. Gracias a usted, lo que comenzo como uno experiencia frustrante se ha convertido en una pasion. Usted es el mejor maestro del mundo. Muchas gracias por todo.
Saludos

This is a nice addition to Synergy Spanish. It will be very motivating for the guy in my study group. Thanks
I love this. My neighbour is Italian so I can speak to him and let him know that I want Spain
to win the World Cup. Thank you so much. I have finished Short Cut. To Spanish and I
am ready to order the next course, which I presume is Synergy Spanish. I love your way
of teaching Spanish and I love the language. I hope to go to Spain in the next year and
hopefully speak to the locals. I am so looking forward to it because I have no Spanish
friends to speak to.
tanck you MARCUS

Hi Marcus
Thanks for the interesting lessons del Mundial, pity about Hollanda, who didn’t make it
through the group stages.
Tenemos Espana y Italia el domingo, gane Espana!
(excuse the english keyboard)
muy atentamente
Love it. So easy to understand.
I have purchased the Synergy spanish about a few months ago and helped me a lot so far.
Thanks for your outstanding spanish lessons! I am looking to purchase next audio lessons if it is available.

These lessons are the best I have encountered. You know, I wish someone would give the lessons on syntax. I have a hard time with the connecting words.
But, the lesson of which I have read andlearned are like magic.
Thanks for such a simple(?) way to teach the language.
Regards,
Lynn W. Petty
Hi Marcus – once again MANY THANKS – I’m not a football fan but I’m off to the pub tonite with my husband, and as we live in Spain the audios are really brilliant. Especially as you gave some tips on the correct words to use and why they changed from masculine to feminine.
I totally agree with another post on here which says “you are such an inspiration” – you definitely are.
Thanks again and enjoy the football!!!
I am enjoying the short-cut to Spanish, I think some of it is sticking in the brain
Thank you
Really good practice!
Hola Marcus
Otra vez,gracias. ¡ Qué bueno! Tambien, gracias,Elena!
Compré el curso ” Synergy.” It was the best thing I ever did in terms of learning Spanish. It really works!! The structures that you taught are just what I needed to make me speak more confidently.I know I make many mistakes but I love it!
Ahora, voy a ver el tenis en la televisión. Voy a ver la fínal (del Wimbledon?) el próximo domingo,pero estoy muy triste…….No Raffa! …¡ Él es mi favorito ! Támbien me encanta Mallorca.
Once again,thank you, from a 67 yr old who had achieved nothing in Spanish until Synergy.
Thank you so much. I am beginning Lesson 19 of Synergy Spanish. Your course has helped me a lot so far. I am able to put sentences together now and I’m looking forward to finishing this course and moving on to the next one.
Thanks for these audio’s. I’m learning new sentences between preparing to go on a TEFL internship in Vietnam. I still can’t believe that learning Spanish has become relaxation for me, although I’ll need it when I, hopefully, get work in Spain. My daughter and her husband live in Madrid and are Spain supporters so I hope to impress them. I’ve been doing the Shortcut to Spanish lessons and I’m recommending them to everyone because they are amazing, so thanks very much, Naomi
Keep up the good work Marcus and Elena. Although I an not a passionate football fan I still enjoy the lingo. Your emails are always timely and your generosity with sharing the love for Spanish never ceases to amaze me over many years..Anyone who is getting this lesson because of the football content should follow up with the other lessons. They are so uncomplicated. Well done again.
Sorry, disregard my comments re Italy. I listened to the tapes without reading the preamble.
Thank you so much Marcus for this fantastic free audio of football. There is no one else out there who explains things in an uncomplicated way like you do. You are such an inspiration. At times I have almost given up as learning Spanish was quite difficult, but after listening to your audios it gives you a boost to carry on.
Many many thanks.
Lorna
Excellent, I will try it out at the Spanish bar tonight but I dont think Italians will be too happy with tape 2.
Me llamo sohaila vivo en holland me gusta aprender espanol,
Estoy muy contento con las lecciones de la Santa Maria.
Gracias,
sohaila
Que bueno! Perfect timing Marcus! I was struggling to keep up a conversation with some of my friends from a Spanish meet-up group after the England v Italy quarter-final game (so the less said of that the better). I will be meeting them again on Monday – the day after the final so I’ll spend some time this weekend with your very timely Eurocopa lesson and hopefully I’ll be able to contribute a bit more to the conversation. By the way, my prediction Spain 2, Italy 1 (even though Spain struggled against the Portuguese and Italy were awesome against the Germans. Thanks again.
Best wishes
Graeme Hind
