We’ve got a way to make the tricky parts of Spanish even easier.
A while back I published an article and Free Audio lesson called “Hard Spanish Made Easy.”
That post has inspired 411 comments so far.
Later, we turned the audio into a sample video. The sample video post has inspired 1,142 comments so far.
For many people the video version trumps the audio only version. My favorite comment of the 1,142 is this one:
WOW! This is the missing link! Everything together: listen, read, think and speak! Just what the doctor ordered. – Gerry
Click the play button on the video below. You just might find that for you to it is la pieza que faltaba (the missing link).

Voy cumplir setenta anitos en febrero y tengo idea de saltar la temporada del humo de los incendios forestales aqui en Columbia Britannica. Hasta la fecha de hoy, hice quatorzer viajes largas en sudamwerica para hacer mis deportes preferidas, el parapente, y el deporte blanco, el esqui alpino.
Como veas usted, soy davil con los conjugaciones de los verbos. Existe leciones graciosas por apprendar ellos?

Thanks for the video version. It is a bit difficult for me at my current stage of understanding but with the printed words as well as the sound I can now practice and should be able to learn it after a few goes. Brilliant!
I am getting there Marcus
Gracias

Very good lesson Please more!
I have done Synergy
Spanish, now what?
The videos are so much better than the audio alone!
Bola de Nieve follows on sequentially from where Synergy Spanish left off.

Thanks for another good lesson.
Dear Marcus,
Thank you for all you have done over the years,,unfortunately, after trying several teaching methods and living in Spain amongst Spanish , not in an English gang, for 28 years, I still can’t speak Spanish, I’m saying this to help all of you who find yourself in the same situation. Don’t beat yourself up, it does happen regardless of how many qualification you have.
Best Regards
David.
As with all you have produced, This is another great way to help us learn Spanish.
!Gracias, Mucho gracias !
This method will be a great boost for me to learn and speak the Spanish language , correctly.
I would like to add this program Spanish Made Easy to the one I am presently using as a member. the example was very good and it would benefit me to use it. Please let me know how I may purchase it.

Hola,
The Hard Spanish Made Easy is not a course it’s just a free lesson. The concept in this lesson is explored in more depth in Bola de Nieve. which is the follow up to your Synergy Spanish courses.
Saludos,
Marcus
Thank you Marcus, I so appreciate your teaching style, it is so innovative and such a sure way to help learners speak Spanish right from the start. Keep up the good work!
Gracias Marcus, otra vez me encanta este video,como siempre.
Saludos Marit
Gracias Marcus, otra vez me encanta este video como siempre.Saludos
Marit.
Excellent ,as always!
Excellent as usual. How can I get the other parts of this lesson. I am a student of Bola de Nieve . I go slow because of lack of time but I enjoy it a lot.
If you could arrange for me to get the videos of Spanish Made Easy I would appreciate very much.
Thank you Julia
Hola Julia,
If you keep going with your Bola de Nieve course you’ll find this concept built into that program

Dear Marcus,
I just started Hard Spanish Made Easy yesterday by audio.I would very much like the whole 6 parts of these lessons in video format as well. Could you please arrange this for me.
I am halfway through the 10 modules of Bola De Nieve.It is taking me a long time to get through these fascinating lessons because of family problems and lack of time to study,and I have been paying you 20 pounds a month for around 1 year,maybe more. How much more do I have to pay?.I will also be doing advanced concepts after finishing Bola De Nieve plus the bonus lessons and informal Spanish, as well as Hard Spanish made easy. My kowledge is certainly improving,
I also read a relatively easy Spanish article on Abraham Lincoln,and understood most of it.I also picked up some new words.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I love your teaching methods it very easy to follow and like you advertise am speaking to learn Spanish, excellent.
Excellent,
Nice one Marcus. But for me, the writing pops up just too early, while I’m still saying the sentence. Maybe I’m just slow 🙂
You might want to try this lesson.

Yeah, i do have a picture memory. So, the visuals really help me retain things usually the first time. Picturing things like the spelling, whether a verb is an ar, er or an ir verb, whether a noun is masculine or feminine, etc is huge in having things resonate in me much more quickly.
The conversation learning is very helpful. But the visual along with it would absolutely be huge in aiding and speeding up my fluency.
Im sure it’ll be a huge task. But I’d love to have these in the advanced Bola De Nieve courses.
Thank you,
Ron M
Your videos are wonderful! I am doing an MA in Spanish Literature and understand the grammar so well, but my problem is SPEAKING Spanish! Once I finish my studies (as early as possible next year) I am really going to start practicing my spoken Spanish, making use of your videos. I need to be able to speak as many languages as possible as I want to apply for a job on a cruise ship.
Petro
Fantastic!!!!
You are a wizard of the Spanish language.
I love these
I have your earlier cd and large grey book
You’re great at this.
It is great to have the video to visually see in conjunction with the audio lesson.
I hope that all of the lessons will incorporate the visual component, too.
Have you considered doing a visual presentation of yourself introducing the various programs that are offered? It would be great. Perhaps you could include live testimonials of satisfied customers speaking a bit in Spanish.
Fabuloso, su trabajo es sumamente mejor! Vas
adelante, su tema es la pieza que faltaba que estoy
habia buscando para.
Muchas gracias Marcus,
Hasta luego…

A really helpful insight into those oh so confusing reflexive verbs. Thanks. I always enjoy your video lessons.
this has been so helpful. Thanks marcus
Fue brillante ,genial,fantastico y magnifico
This is good stuff! I was disappointed the brilliant start to understanding reflexive pronouns petered out e.g. understanding when to detach as in nos gusta.And I still do not understand the purpose and use of, nor all the reflexive pronouns
However the quite long section of phrases and short expressions was exactly what I have been attempting to create on paper myself but yours is much better.
Mas tarde!
I am using Bola de Nieve at the moment and that is mustard. I have more confidence to speak Spanish with the locals here in Spain because I am learning how to use all the words I know in a coherent way. All that flipping grammar put me off but now I try even if it isn’t absolutely correct, before I was to afraid to and not capable of using any of the words I know for fear of saying the wrong thing in the wrong order.
Brilliant!
Thank you Marcus, I can remember and understand these lessons, really enjoy learning.
I HAVE JUST WATCHED THE VIDEO, FOUND IT SO GOOD GREAT EXPLANATION THANKS

Excellent exercise. I’m seven years living in Costa Rica and still having difficulty expressing myself with confidence. Your system is just what I need.
I have purchased “Informal Spanish” and “Synergy Spanish” . Learning by speaking is the way to go. I lived in Ecuador for 18 months starting in 2007. I gave up on other Spanish courses and decided I was too old to learn another language. (I am 74) I am delighted with what I have learned. I look forward to returning to South America for another extended stay in one year. This next time I think I will be able to express myself, but have a long way to go before I will be able to really understand. I think that once people understand where I am at, they will go slow and simple with me and I will be able to get by and get around. I think I am ready to start “Shortcut To Spanish” before diving into anything deeper. I find that I am able to study longer now and enjoy it more than when I first started.
Marcus, you definitely have the method. I love it, and so does my wife. You are also well poised to set up courses that teach English from Spanish. Maybe you already do. Tengo una amiga en Ecuador, quiero que mi amiga aprenda Ingles y viaje a Canada por escuela por un ano. Necesita por ella hablar Ingles para asistir a la escuela. Ella no aprenda mucho ingles ahora. Aprendar Ingis es importante aqui. Hay es no Espanol in mi poco ciudad.
Gracias por todo.,
Peter
Superb
Made everything so easy to understand and remember
