The voices in my head are speaking Spanish.
I trained them to speak it.
So can you.
You can think in Spanish.
Let’s face it, we all have a voice in our head. The Dalai Lama can silence his voice. My voice never shuts up. But I can control it a little.
One day I hit on a great mind control idea that helped my Spanish tremendously:
Why not spend time each day thinking in Spanish?
Here’s what I did.
I was teaching English in a factory in Tijuana that made accessories for RVs. After that class I drove 20 minutes to another factory that assembled stationery.
On the drive I would imagine myself having conversations in Spanish. It was surprisingly easy.
I had no fear of saying the wrong thing.
I could talk about whatever I wanted.
It was like a dress rehearsal. When I had real conversations I suddenly found that I had a new confidence.
My inhibitions started disappearing.
Spanish started flowing spontaneously.
Switching from English mode to Spanish mode came easily.
I felt more natural and at ease speaking.
Give it a go. Nobody has to know.
This is a strategy that could have been shared with you a long time ago. I’m a little ashamed that I didn’t bring it up ’til now. But then again how does someone share with friends all the voices they’re hearing in their head?
Anyway, now it’s out there.
If you can switch the channel in your head for 10-20 minutes a day, you’ll find that Spanish suddenly starts flowing in real life
Of course you’ll need a foundation to make some Spanish phrases. Synergy Spanish gives you as many as 88,000 phrases from just 138 words.
If you want to talk to yourself and other people in Spanish this is the quickest and easiest place to get started.

Hola Marcus, gracias para decirnos la idea de hablando en nuestros cabezas! Lo probe pare siete minutos y hice bien. Tambien yo comprendi otras palabras que necesito aprender. Continua enviar sus ideas. Daniel Detwiler.
GENTE i LIKE TO LEARN …CASTILIAN
Although I’ve just begun the course, I’m already almost automatically substituting Spanish words for English when I’m thinking.
I would like to try thinking in Spanish
Hello Marcus
I appreciate you telling me that, I will try it and see if I can remember more spanish.
Thank you Patricia
I always had a interest in your courses. I will order this week (15th. by the 14th o). Thanks for the new approach to Spanish. I hope your courses include other languages.
I’m taking Spanish in school and am finding it very difficult can I learn faster this way
DESEO APRENDER EL INGLES. GRACIAS
I try to talk to myself in espanish every day
It’s always comforting to hear that someone else talks to themselves in no matter what language Marcus!
I tried the videos and they were more advanced. The audio is good, but I wish they had been all video. I love your approach to teaching and it really takes a lot of stress off of me. Thanks, I will order tomorrow. Thanks, Ron
I would like to learn Latino Spanish in the easiest way possible and would like to try this memory way.
I tried a few of your free sample lessons for 5 days, then I committed to buying and I have learned more in 1 week with you, than all the words I learned in the past year, living in Costa Rica!!! And you have helped me pronounce words that I could just never wrap my tongue around, and I could just never learn and remember words either, but your system is spectacular at helping the brain put words together to flow! I really love how your first few lessons too are so positive, ‘Voy a hablar Español muy bien pronto!’. Very smart structuring!! Thanks Marcus, seeing how we moved to Costa Rica in Sept 2015, it was becoming embarrassing as I approach the 1 year mark that I still knew nothing, now last night at una fiesta I was actually able to say a few sentences, and although it’s obvious I don’t know Spanish, some of the regular locals can see at least that I am making an effort to learn, and commented on this! I am loving your lessons and my husband is telling me I am addicted to them!! Gracias!!!!
I would like a sample of synergy
Here is a sample of the first video:

This is a very good idea Marcus . I started talking to myself but not on a daily basis but I am now following your advice on these listening exercise 20 minutes daily whlich I find very helpful; Happy to say that I am doing very well and becoming fluent.
Many thanks. Marcus.
MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS.
It is great to have you involved in our process. Thank you for this information.
been living full time 9 years in different places in mexico…and traveled most states here…..my spanish serves me well….still listening and learning…have been living with families here….love the language…like most….we must learn grammer…verb tenses most of which is available on line or courses and books….but to think in spanish is a bit different….to literally switch your mind from one language to another…..from one culture to another….is the real challenge….communicating is fine and you will show respect also….(to make friends here….one needs to know the basics)….but to think like a local and become fluid….takes much time and is the last step needed to become a local…i learn something every day….listening is the key….i still have a lot to learn….but am enjoying
I’ve been studying Spanish for years and getting a bit better each year. However, I still find your brief lessons extremely helpful
I would really like to speak at least a little spanish but…i’m french and they speak so fast
I’M from Québec Canada
Do you have a place where I can clearly see your products and what they might accomplish?
All the courses are on this page:

If you’re still unsure the straightest path is to go with Synergy Spanish followed by Bola de Nieve.
Que consejo fantastico que voy a realizar pronto !
Pensar en español y hablar con sigo es un buen idea para aprender y sentirse bien con la lengua que quiere aprender.
Muchísimas gracias, Marcus, por su ayuda preciosa.
By the way, I’m 64. You’re never too old to learn and the Synergy Spanish program makes learning Spanish it easy to accomplish. I would love it if there were also audios with just the Spanish conversation portion. What a bonus that would be! Is that possible??
We don’t have that in Synergy Spanish however we do have something similar in our Spanish Ear Training program.

For some reason, I started doing this automatically and it really works. I’m also in the process of creating a booklet of color “cartoon pictures” that represent the words I’m learning, which is a tremendous help in remembering. I’m on lesson 17 right now.
Thanks Marcus, Im just beginning to tackle Spanish. But, i thought, what a great idea. As soon as i learn enough words, ill start talking to myself in Spanish. Thank you. Your friend, Jim.
It works I’m surprised
I live in Spain in a Tourist area but would love to speak Spanish.
We often visit Spain and would love to learn more of the language
Love to try it moving to Spain in two years
My friends from Spain are excited how well my Spanish is coming.
What a perfect idea! This is how top athletes, celebrities and top executives improve their “game.” They spend a few minutes each day visualizing taking the actions they need to take successfully. Their minds do not not know the difference between reality and imagination. So, their minds think they can do all that they visualize exactly the way they visualize it. When it comes time to execute the “move” they do so with little or no trouble. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TODOS!!
Hi,
I spend some of the winter months in the Canary Islands in my apartment there. I want to be able to have a conversation with Spanish friends and speak on the telephone to people who may be doing work in my home (repairs, decorating, renovations). I have an iPad. Which would be the best option for me to purchase in synergy Spanish please?
Thank you,
Regards,
Barbara Burton.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SSPEAK AND THINK IN SPANISH FOR MANY YEARS,WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. yOUR SYSTEN SOUNDS MORE LIKELY TO BE WOTH TRYING. pHIL gREEN
Well, I finally gave in Marcus,—and I am more than pleased that I did–when I realized that a 6 wk. Spanish class was offered thru community ed. for $69 plus materials, I was sure that I wanted your course (es)-wow! and ALL the free stuff and resources! Muchas gracias from THE 87 yr. old woman from Gainesville, Fl-who had written you before but was always on the fence because of limited finances, , however, you offered the BEST, considering that I have the program NOW downloaded on my computer, pad and phone (thanks to my savvy (HIJO)–I am so excited, even tho I practice alone (out loud), but—- this a.m., I spoke a few words to the cashier at the shopping center–e.g. good morning, how are you, I need help.
I did my homework and checked other programs etc.You have offered sooooo much for the course, I am surprised and astounded! Why did I wait so long? And, I have the determination and persistence to succeed .
p.s.I have the same desire as I did when I completed a Disney Marathon at age 76, never even knowing what a marathon was!–I trained for 4 months–!! I will get back with you 4 months from now !!!–Let the training begin–Puedo hacerlo
Marcus, thank you sincerely, Marie
