This second video is all about using informal Spanish.
By the way the first Spanish video is still available on this blog post:
In this video you’ll use Informal Spanish. It’s the way to speak with amigos cercanos, la familia y niños (close friends, family and kids).
It’s sometimes tricky knowing the difference between those pesky little pronouns SE and TE.
TE is the one that you’ll use with your informal Spanish.
Look, if I try and explain anymore with writing, it’ll become as confusing as a textbook. Instead, let’s do this the easy way.
Click the play button on the video below. It will all becomes easy, clear and instantly usable.
Gracias Marcus, encantada de aprender y de distinguar entre formal y informal. Muy important.
Hasta pronto.
I guess, with practice, I will become more fluent in Spanish. Great to be able to practice with you videos.
Gracias Marcus

Marcus , Tks again for the lesson , They really help me to remember the dialogue.
Muchas gracias, Sheila Coyne
Excellent lesson
Marcus, I forgot to tell you that I am an 87 year old student ! I do have problems with memory now though. This is when I need little tricks to concrete things in my mind. At 75 I managed to achieve a B.A., through the Open University, reading European Social History. My mind was still quite sharp at that moment, but as time goes by the wreckage has become appalling.
That kind of presentation is most useful because I hope to get on to the informal level eventually. Great stuff Marcus, and thanks.
Alan
As always excellent.
Gracias Marcus, me encanta este video. Aunque he terminado Bola de Nieve me gusta repetir todos sus videos. Saludos Marit
Very good Marcus I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Gracias,
Louise
Very useful
Very useful
Hi Marcus – latterly the pause between the question and answer has become so short, I have no time to think through the response. Can you please restore the status quo. Thanks
Very informative
I have trouble getting a handle on this. I guess too many changes at one time.
Helped tremendously in consolidating previous learning. Muchas gracias.
Brilliant! Muchas gracias
Thank you Marcus!
Excellent lesson!
Galina.
Thanks for the lesson…very good.
Perfecto para me
Marcus:
What an amazing person you are…Thanks for your generosity. I would like to ask: When is ‘sino’ used instead of ‘pero’?
Pauline
Pero is more common, sino is used when “but” expresses “but rather” or “but also”.
any chance of sending me part two of informal Spanish I am starting to enjoy this
It’s the 4th Conversation Multiplier that comes with Bola de Nieve:

You make learning very simple, even for someone as old (66) as me.
Have you lessons aimed at students who are intermediate in their learning of Spanish?
Yes, the intermediate level is Bola de Nieve: http://www.synergyspanishsystems.com/sidewaysfluency.html
Good, i’m happy.
Excellent,I’m starting to learn.
David
found your lesson very useful.

Very helpful. Keep up good work. Marcus
Hi Marcus

Many thanks
Geraldine
Muchas gracias Marcus su assitancias
por las lecciones informales.
Love these videos.
Very good teaching.
I appreciate your wonder learning methods. I feel very secure in the privacy of my own home with speaking some phrases, however, I am totally lost at hearing and trying to understand when the locals are speaking. I am going to just have to study more. Thanks a million for all you are doing. My next reply will be in Spanish.
Thank you so much! This is very helpful, and the synergy system really works for me.These video lessons are so REFRESHING,especially when you’r studying a couple of hours,where your either filling in the blanks or learing new sentences and verbs,ect…After my lesson,i love to turn to one of you’r videos,as it is relaxing and at the same time,you can really take the info in without too much strain! Also the seing and hearing really helps to memozize.Thanks again, and i’d really like too receive a FULL lessson,so i can benefit 100%, iv wanted so for couple of months now,but i dont have a credit card! Is it not possible to pay with a debit card?? It would be shame not to take full advantage of these great lessons.Would you let me know? I would appreciate it.Thanks in advance..Samia..
ES UNA MANERA FACIL DE APRENDER HABLAR EL IDIOMA,
Marcus …
simplemente magnífico …
excelente …
estoy totalmente entusiasmadísimo
muchas gracias
another excelente producion!!!!!. Marcus son el mejor profesor de todo el mundo. aprendo mucho de usted y voy a continuar con sus videos y email. muchas gracias and may GOD BLESS
I was in the border patrol and US Immigration for 30 years. In the academy got two years of Spanish condenced into 4 months. I still did not become fluent. I memorized sentences relating to the job. I took 2 sysmesters of college spanish. Still struggled wit the language. I never felt proficient unless I was asking the questions but never conversation. I have learned a lot more in the few weeks i have been working on your lessons. I remember conjegating verbs 24-7. Even with all that, and forgot a sysmester of high school spanish) i have never been able to carry on a conversation. I wish this had come out in 1967. As soon as i get the money for the whole lesson on cds i will greatly enjoy the daily emails. MUCHOS GRACIOUS.
Richard
thanks
Gracias Marcus, These exercises help me maintain the lessons learned earlier. Combining visuals and sound is very helpful.
I have recommended your classes to bloggers visiting Costa Rica. I think your method is very good to quickly be able to get understood by spanish speaking people.
Louise
Thanks Marcus, that was brilliant.
Regards
Gina
Hello Marcus.
I listen to Spanish made easy and take find it very well explained.
My problem is being 70 years old and not able to keep it in my brain
for a longer time. As I live on a Spanish island pronunciation is not
a problem.
Thank you again, please just have a little patience with me,
Kind regards
Ann.
Thanks for the lesson in pronunciations of words and vowels. They were very distinctively explained and physically demonstrated. My difficulty was pronouncing the letter J. But after watching your video it became clear quickly.
Muchas Gracias
Que bueno – me gustaba praticar con su guía !
Gracias Marcus por su ayuda muy apreciada.
Muchas gracias Marcus por las lecciones. Aprendo más rapido ahora.
