Is your Spanish dying? If it is, the medicine prescribed by most textbooks is guaranteed to kill it.
The treatment they advise is worse than the cure. De hecho (in fact), their treatment is no cure, just more pain and suffering.
“I still can’t speak Spanish,” you say.
The textbook replies, “Well, you need the subjunctive mode.”
“But I just want to talk with my amigos.”
You are told, “Study por vs para, ser vs. estar and indirect object pronouns vs. direct object pronouns.”
“Will that get me speaking Spanish?”
“No, but you have to study it,” the experts say. “It’s in the curriculum as are the pluperfect, demonstrative pronouns and radically changing verbs.”
“Can’t I just learn Spanish to get by first?”
“That’s NOT how languages are taught,” replies the professor. “You must study ordinal numbers, cardinal numbers, the definite article and the indefinite article.”
We’re losing the patient.
Beep – beep – beep
He needs demonstrative pronouns, relative pronouns, and the pluperfect.
He’s fading fast.
Beep – beep
Give him more masculine feminine noun adjective agreement, ser vs estar, reflexive pronoun and the indicative and imperative…
He’s gone. We lost him.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
I don’t understand it. He was so strong and full of enthusiasm and excitement then he suddenly lost all desire, hope and passion.
Another Spanish dream dies.
En paz descanse. (May he rest in peace.)
If your Spanish is flailing, please don’t fall into the same old trap. Some missing piece of grammar minutiae is not going to save your Spanish.
More likely, it will kill it with a slow, painful and boring death.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can speak to learn instead of learning to speak.
Spanish is meant to be enjoyed.
Spanish doesn’t have to be a chore to learn.
You can have fun and speak more Spanish each day.
The more you speak, the more opportunity you have to get further engaged in the language. With each conversation, your Spanish ability grows.
Your enthusiasm and your confidence increase.
The cycle continues; Spanish becomes a part of your daily life.
And the more you speak, the more you absorb.
Speaking to learn draws you in and makes you fall in love with the language.
It builds its own momentum.
Your Spanish comes alive.
You live the language instead of just learning it.
And to top it off, you’ll speak better than all those grammarians. You speak with the natural flow of real-life Spanish.
No more pain and suffering.
It’s time to throw out the traditional textbook’s bad medicine. You can speak to learn from today onwards and it’s free to start.
Your treatment starts today.
La primera visita, gratis. (The first visit free.)
The first part is free. You pay nothing.
Oh, what the heck, I’ll throw in your second visit for free too.
I am interested in your courses but what I need is to able to download the course on to my galaxy tablet so that I can take it in the car with me. Right now all that I see in your courses are ones that you need an mp3 player or cd player or the internet. If you have a course that I can download and not have to use the internet I would appreciate you letting me know. Arlene Bingham
Hi, Marcus I am almost done with Synergy Spanish, Do I still need your other course Shortcut to Spanish or would you advise for me to go Bolla de Nieve right after?
Also, how much time daily does it need to complete each module approximately? I do the Synergy Spanish level 1 for like 1 hour a day. 30 minutes for the written exercise and 30mins for the recorded audio. So I am just curious how much time should I dedicate just in case I decide to purchase the program.
Once I pay will I get the downloads immediately?
Lastly what does your home page mean by ” All the positions in Synergy Spanish – Bola De Nieve are now filled.” ?
Does it mean I wont be able to join now?
You can go directly on to Bola de Nieve, it follows on sequentially from Synergy Spanish.
The time you are spending at the moment will keep you on the monthly schedule with Bola de Nieve you may even get ahead of schedule. If
you do get ahead just let me know and I’ll give you options for going faster.
You do get the access to the material immediately and new lesson come each month with your subscription.
The home page needs updating, Bola de Nieve is now open all the time unless we get a surge of new students.
Here’s the link to Bola de Nieve:

I always look forward to your emails. Thank you so much!

Gracias, pero como apprender espanol – escuchar y entonces comprendo? Muchas problemas. Yo no entiendo mucho cuando escucho otras personas.
We have a program for that at:

I have taken the entire Synergy Spanish course, and it is a terrific learning tool. I was so enthused I immediately signed up for Bola de Nieve, and am a good way through that one already. Marcus is the best Spanish teacher you are going to find–anywhere. I have tried self-study, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, and a half-dozen more, and couldnt get to first base with any of them. With Marcus, I feel like I am on a roll, and learning more and more every day. If you are truly interested in speaking Spanish, you cant do any better than use Marcus. His techniques are designed for immediate success with the language–and they work!
Great! How do I purchase this?
You can order the course from this page:

Powerful learning tool, interested in purchasing it,
Very nice presentation easy to follow.
excellent course highly recommended!
Hello Marcus, For the last 3/4 years I have been trying to learn learn to speak spanish but without much success. I have your synergy spanish level 1 CDs 1 to 12. When I get to the end I find that when I try to converse with a spanish speaking person, I cannot understand the reply. I then give up. Since starting to learn, I have had a number of hospital visits, having operations, broken bones plus I am a diabetic type 1. Being 77yrs old, I think I am a hopeless case. For the third time I am going to start again with lesson 1. I would like to know if there is a follow-up to Level 1?
Yes, there is a follow up to Synergy Spanish. It is called Bola de Nieve. Details are on this page:
http://www.synergyspanishsystems.com/sidewaysfluency.html
As far as understanding spoken Spanish that can take some time to get an ear for, especially when people speak quickly. We have a program to help called Spanish Ear Training
at:
http://www.spanisheartraining.com
However, I would recommend that you start with Bola de Nieve first.
