About Marcus Santamaria

Marcus Santamaria Family

My name is Marcus Santamaria. That's me with my family in the picture above. After I met and married my wife, Elena, we decided to move to Mexico to be near her family. But I didn't speak a word of Spanish! I needed to learn the language so that I could interact with her family and friends.

But I had another motivation, too...

As an English teacher, I absolutely needed to learn the language so that I didn't feel like a fraud! I mean, how could I possibly teach English as a second language when I didn't even know one myself?

My shame drove me to search endlessly for a better way of learning and teaching. Believe me, learning Spanish was not easy for me...I struggled! Eventually I discovered what I had suspected all along: the problem was not me, but the methods I was using.

Once I discovered what's really important for communication, (you'll be amazed at how much of what is normally taught actually gets in the way of communication) and how to best use the mind for rapid learning, I became fluent in Spanish and very successful at teaching, too!

I am now a very successful language teacher - one of the most respected and highest paid in Latin America. But the main reason I have a lot to offer you as a Spanish teacher is simply this:  I have been where you are now. If you have ever had a tough time learning a language, Synergy Spanish can help - and I'm here for you, too!

"If people only realized what a sense of accomplishment I felt the whole world would sign up for your courses!"

"Two of my friend will be subscribing any day now.... Both of them are soooo impressed with the way I'm conversing in Spanish that they pestered me until I fessed up that we're studying with you."

SUNNY LATER ADDDED

"Last Sunday we took a little Mexican girl (and her parents) to a water park to celebrate her graduation from kindergarten. In the 3 years we've known this family, I have always dreaded spending time with them due to not being able to converse with them.

Eureka!!!!

I doubt that I missed more than a couple of words and was able to make myself understood with only a few hesitations. If people only realized what a sense of accomplishment I felt the whole world would sign up for your courses! And, the best part of it is, I had only completed lesson 17 of Synergy. At this rate, I'm sure I'll be yapping with the best of them by the time I've completed your program. You're the BEST!!!"

Harry Bracewell - Canary Islands



"My effort was recognised and when I returned I noticed how my bill was cheaper!"

"I would like to thank you for creating such a great course.

I signed up just 2 weeks before I was due to holiday alone in San Pedro de Alcantara. I took great delight in going into a Spanish bar/restaraunt and ordering in Spanish. I had been there a few weeks before and they were surly buggers. But this time it was different. I was actually smiled at and chatted to and helped a little with my Spanish.

My effort was recognised and when I returned I noticed how my bill was cheaper."
Anita Mikolaites - UK



"Oh my Gawwwwwwwwwwd!! How you have made the Spanish language so simple is beyond me!!!"

"I bought your course online and I have found it to be quite brilliant in it's concept and I am quickly learning not to sound like such a "gringo" to my Colombian girl friend.

It really is amazing! You have encapsulated the Spanish language in a very easy to assimilate series of lessons that should be taught to people that don't have a lot of time and need to have a working command of the language! Thanks again for making such a wonderful course!!"
Michael Roskoski - Florida, USA

Your course really is the easiest way I have found to make sense of all the Spanish I knew but didn't know how to put together. Many many thanks from Los Abrigos."

It took me so many years to learn Italian the conventional way and I swore there must be a way to learn to communicate without all the conjugations and vocabulary lists.

Your approach is incredibly effective and so encouraging. Thank you for providing all your works and efforts at such a reasonable price- For anyone who sincerely wants to learn the language your course is a GIFT."
Jason della Valle - New Jersey, USA



"I am now beginning to initiate conversations and finding that I really can communicate well."

"I am now beginning to initiate conversations at the gym, in the sauna, ordering in restaurants and finding that I really can communicate well. Last night, I could speak Spanish better than the waiter could speak English, so it was really great.

The obvious dedication that you and your wife have put into it. I am humbled really, and wish you all the continued success in your ventures as you really understand the marketing value of providing EXCEPTIONAL value. "Always give the client more than they expect" is a well known, but not well practiced aphorism, but you, dear Marcus have done just that. Bravo!

I heartily recommend your brilliant, innovative style. It really works!"

Your Spanish Course has really helped enrich my travel experiences here in South America."

"It leaves out the irrelevant stuff that bogs down the learning process."

"I have studied Spanish off and on for years in classes and studying books but never found the retention very good.

I was very happy when I found your web site. Your content, organization and style of teaching is what makes it work - because it focuses on the useful words and phrases for the real world and leaves out the irrelevant stuff that bogs down the learning process."
Kris Augello - California, USA

Dear Soon-to-be-Spanish Speaker,

Would you like to speak Spanish that could impress a native speaker? Want the words to freely flow from your tongue instead of sounding like a slowed down, broken record because you’re constantly grasping for the correct grammar in your head?

Enough! The "traditional" way of teaching Spanish doesn’t work for most people – especially if you’re not in grade school or college anymore.

Even if you’ve tried to learn a language before and failed, now you can learn "real-world" Spanish quickly and easily. I am a language teacher and after years of using methods that just don’t cut it, I have finally developed a course, Synergy Spanish, that really works for the rest of us. (If you want to know my motivation, read the "about me" in the side panel.)

And here’s the best part: all you need to do is learn 138 words - more about this later. It will work for you if:

  • You’ve never spoken a word of Spanish
  • After endless courses and months or even years of study, you still can’t string a Spanish sentence together without a struggle.
  • You need to learn the language quickly.
  • You are over 40 and "learning isn’t as easy as it used to be"
  • You don’t want to spend countless hours worrying about grammar or sentence structure.
  • Spanish has been difficult for you in the past.
  • You don’t have a lot of time to devote to lessons.

Now You Can Get By in Spanish With Just 138 Words!

It’s crazy. So many people who want to speak Spanish end up not being able to speak at all. Yet, I have used my knowledge of languages to develop a simple formula that virtually assures your success.

All you need to do is learn just 138 words. Then, I'll show you how to use them so effectively that native Spanish speakers will be amazed at how easily you express yourself in their language.

Yes, I know it sounds incredible, maybe even too good to be true (just look at all of the unsolicited testimonials on this page to see that it works). Yet, when you experience the power of using patterns to multiply Spanish, you'll know for sure that speaking Spanish is easily within your reach.

Once you've tried this approach you'll wonder, "why haven't I been shown this before?"

When you know the formula, it's a piece of cake to make thousands of Spanish phrases from that small list of just 138 words.

The secret lies in a simple method of combining Spanish words. A method that is very straightforward. In fact, with just a little effort you can master the entire system in as little as 25 days...

It Doesn't Matter How Old You Are, Or What Experience You Have Had With Spanish, Now Communicating In Spanish Is Possible For Everyone

  • Speak Spanish that will impress even a native – even if you feel like you’ve had a "mental block" with learning Spanish before.
  • Avoid the traps that stop most people from finally speaking Spanish
  • Feel comfortable in real-world Spanish conversations – in as little as one month – much less time and effort than other courses
  • Learn how to connect with locals if you live in a Spanish-speaking country or a Latino community in the US.
  • Converse with your Spanish-speaking coworkers and neighbors
  • Travel to exotic Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, and experience the real flavor of the local culture
  • Teach your children or grandchildren to speak Spanish

Learn Just a Handful of Words and Enhance Your Travel Experiences

You know, travel is so much more enriching when you have enough confidence in your Spanish to get away from the tourist traps. Instead of some plastic, made-for-the-masses, fake experience, you can soak up the vitality of Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, as you interact and move freely among the locals.

Your new ability in Spanish is your passport to go where the tourists don't go. It's your ticket to having real conversations in Spanish for the very first time.

"It's like entering some secret club, with a hospitality you probably have never felt before. You'll get extra attention in the restaurants. You'll get tips on where to go to get the best quality authentic products. And of course, when you speak Spanish the prices are so much better."

Native Spanish speakers really appreciate your efforts to speak to them in their language. When people realize that you are not the typical ugly foreigner expecting "them" to speak English, you will be amazed how warmly you are treated.

If you work with Spanish speakers, or live in a Spanish-speaking country, then this course is even more important for you than it is for travelers. It has opened many doors for many people to connect with native Spanish speakers. It has even been responsible for at least one marriage.


"If it hadn't been for your course I probably wouldn´t have been able to meet my future wife."

First of all I want to say thank you for creating Synergy Spanish. It has been a tremendous learning experience for me. You make the whole thing so easy.

I am getting married next week to the love of my life. My fiancée is Mexican and doesn't speak English. If it hadn't been for your course giving me the ability to understand and speak conversational Spanish fast, I probably would not have been able to meet my future wife.

Kyle Crawford - San Felipe Marina Resort, Mexico

It is always great to hear when people use my course to interact in the real world. Not everyone has such a life-changing event as Kyle did; however there are many interesting ways my students have used their newfound ability in Spanish.

From Bill's "off the tourist path, home-hosted visit to Chiapas, Mexico" to Jaime's new ability to communicate with the parents of her students who only speak Spanish.

Jan can now communicate with the Spaniards in Orihuela Costa, where she plans to spend her retirement. Steve and Mai have also moved to Spain. They wrote to tell me that they now have a new confidence to talk to people in their adopted country.

There are many more stories. In fact, I get letters everyday from people who are delighted to be communicating in Spanish for the first time. Here are some comments from some of my students.


"Our experience was due in large part to being able to communicate in Spanish"
Bill

My wife and I belong to Friendship Force International, which is an organization that sponsors home hosting. Late last year our club arranged to visit two clubs in Chiapas, Mexico (Tuxtla-Gutierrez and Comitan).

I thought that since Chiapas is so far south and off the tourist paths that I would enjoy the experience more if I knew a little Spanish when we stayed in our host's homes. I went to the Internet and searched for courses. Yours caught my eye and I ordered your Synergy Spanish with the 14 Cd's. I started my studies right after the first of the year, and we left for Chiapas March 12th.

!!Muchisimas Gracias!! I was able to communicate with our first family that spoke very little English. The Chiapas area is wonderful!! The people are great, the food was delicious, the drinks flowed freely, the music and dancing went on as long as you could stand. Those two weeks were the best vacation I can remember taking!

I could go on for several pages about our experience but it was due in large part to being able to communicate in Spanish. I am 69 years old, and if I can do it, anyone should be able to experience the thrill of speaking another language.

I particularly want to thank Elena for her work on the Cd's. Her slow pace and clear pronuciation of every word made learning that much more achievable.

Keep up the good work and I will be ordering new courses as they become available.

Saludos,
Bill Worthley
Fort Worth, TX

"I can now communicate with the Spanish folk in the town in Orihuela Costa"
Jan

Hola

I have over the last 3 years attended 3 night school classes to learn this beautiful language. After which I still couldn't string a sentence together. I am amazed at how simple you have made this and I can now communicate with the Spanish folk in the town in Orihuela Costa where I am planning to spend my retirement.

"It's made an enormous difference in my ability to communicate to the parents of my students"
Jamie

Dear Sr. Santamaria, I am just on the third CD of Synergy Spanish, but it's made an enormous difference in my ability to communicate to the parents of my students, many of whom don't speak English. Your teaching methods are extraordinarily effective, and I've tried many of them.

Con respeto,

"It is making a big difference to our confidence in talking to people in our adopted country"
Steve

I have been very pleased with the progress I've made using Synergy Spanish. We are English ex-pats who moved to Spain, and have been trying to learn the language, seriously, for 4 years. However, in our 60's learning a new language has been daunting. But we are making real progress now, thanks to your course.

Thanks for Synergy Spanish which really is making a big difference to our confidence in talking to people in our adopted country.

Regards

Steve and Mair Harper

"Now, I can speak with my five new children. Thanks for helping us!"
Renee

Thank you so much for creating this program. My husband and I are adopting five children from Guatemala and really needed a quick way to learn Spanish. Your lessons have been a godsend! Other programs we have tried just haven't clicked. Your method runs circles around all the others we have attempted!

Thanks again.

Ahora, puedo hablar con mi cinco nuevos ninos! Gracias por ayudarnos! (now, I can speak with my five new children. Thanks for helping us!)

Renee and Scott Dean

By the way, I have never solicited a testimonial. All the people decided to write and thank me because they were delighted to finally communicate in Spanish – and Synergy Spanish finally made it possible for them.

Why is this Course So Different?

Most courses teach you grammar in chunks. You learn adverbs and qualifiers today, the subjunctive tomorrow, the progressive the day after that. Most of the time, you're just confused.

You never make free-flowing sentences, and if you do manage to speak at all, it feels unnatural and stilted.

Not only is this antiquated method of teaching grueling for the students, but it's horrible for the teachers as well. You'd be amazed how many teachers hate grammar-based methods. Yet, they have to teach it, because it is part of the curriculum.

What’s worse? Grammar-based methods almost never work.

If it did work, millions of people would speak Spanish as a second language. Yet, very few people are able to use their classroom Spanish to communicate.

In fact, if you have tried to learn Spanish already and failed, it's not your fault. The fault lies in the ineffective methods that you have been exposed to.

You see, studies show that these grammar-based methods of teaching language fail 95% of the time. Notice, I didn't say, "95% of people fail to learn Spanish".

You didn't fail, the method failed.

"The reason you can't yet communicate in Spanish has nothing to do with memorizing another verb tense and all its conjugations, learning the subjunctive, the Spanish verb to be, or any of that grammar stuff. None of that will make a scrap of difference in your ability to communicate."

If you are a beginner, learning more grammar may even make your communication worse. You see, with too much analysis of grammar you become hesitant when you speak. Your mind focuses on rules instead of flowing along with the conversation.

Fortunately, there is an easier way.

It's Simply Astonishing How Well You'll Express Yourself

You may be wondering, "but I already know a lot more that 138 Spanish words and I can't communicate para nada (at all)". Again, it's not your fault. The fault lies in the methods you have been taught.

Spanish words are usually taught in lists. The lists are based on a theme. This is a really easy and fast way to build a Spanish course. But it is next to useless for communicating.

If I created my courses this way, it would take me a few days instead of the best part of a year to make a course. I guess those courses make sense for the publisher's business interests, however, as a way for you to connect with people in Spanish...

Forget about it!

Let me explain why it doesn't work and what you can do about it. Here's what usually happens with word lists. First day you learn words related to a theme e.g. animals. So you learn the Spanish words for goat, pig, donkey, horse, saddle, bridle, tiger, lion, zoo, etc.

Next day's theme is furniture: bed, sofa, table, chair, armchair, cupboard, toy box etc. If you learn 10 words a day then after three days 10+10+10 = 30 words

Now you know 30 words. That’s better than 3 days ago, but can you go out and communicate in the Spanish world?

Not really.

What would you say? Dog cat armchair or pig saddle sofa?

"On the other hand, when you multiply Spanish 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 phrase combinations you can use at will to express yourself. The result is the difference between dog pig monkey vs. me gustaría verla esta noche (I would like to see her tonight.)"

By using combinations, you speak in real Spanish sentences in next to no time.

In fact, the example sentence is from lesson 3 of Synergy Spanish. You easily make sentences like this and many more by lesson 3. Best of all, you can finish lessons 1-3 in just a few hours.

This is the most powerful secret for your successful communication in Spanish.

Instead of learning thematic words-lists that make you sound like a cave man, you discover patterns that multiply Spanish. Then the words flow naturally into Spanish phrases you can use any time you want.

You Can't Possibly Fail, No Matter What Your Past Experience With Spanish.

Perhaps you too know what it feels like to study Spanish without finding any success in communicating. If you haven't achieved the results you wanted, don't worry, I have great news; you'll speak in flowing sentences even before you finish section 1... By section 5, you'll be a speaking Spanish with real confidence everywhere you go.

Here's how each of the sections gives your Spanish a natural flow:

Synergy Spanish Course Sections
Section 1: You learn to talk about yourself. You feel your confidence soar as Spanish starts rolling off your tongue in clear sentences. After completing the 8 user-friendly lessons you are ready to advance to the conversational part of the course.
Section 2: This is the dialog building part of the course, where you multiply your conversation skills. Now the fun really begins. After all, your reason for learning Spanish is to interact with people isn't it?

This section gets you expressing even more than you ever thought you could. Best of all, it happens in a far shorter time than you ever imagined possible. Although you are not yet even half way through the course, I'll bet you are itching to get out there and try your new Spanish speaking skills.

Plus, I show you how to utilize sentence starters and sentence builders, so your Spanish really starts flowing very freely.

Section 3: Are you going to travel with your husband/wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, children or friends? Then section 3 has extra appeal for you.

Even when you're not traveling or you travel alone, this section gives you extra Spanish speaking skills to use everyday.

You talk about what you are doing as a group. Again, it's easy. You just add another layer. And while you practice talking about your group, you learn more Brick and Mortar words. With every addition you speak on a wider range of topics. Yet, even though you are using a lot more Spanish, it's always easy for you to speak freely and comfortably.

Section 4: You'll extend your conversational ability to speak to groups of people. This is for talking to in-laws, workers, students etc. With the command you now have of the language, it's easy to talk to them all as a group.

You are becoming very accomplished in your ability to communicate in Spanish. However, I must emphasize again, there is no confusion. It's still straightforward. It's as easy-to-follow as the first step, even though now your skill is much more advanced.

Section 5: It's time to bring it all home. You round out your narration skills. Talk about your kids, wife, countrymen, work mates, anyone you want, in free-flowing sentences.

When you finish you realize that you have never had to suffer through mind-numbing conjugations, yet you are speaking in perfectly conjugated Spanish sentences. Without studying direct and indirect object pronouns, you are using them in almost every sentence.

All the confusion has been eliminated. The grammatical labels are stripped away and unnecessary because you have taken command of your communication in Spanish. You have a very comfortable and natural feel for the Spanish language.

The Synergy Spanish System – Your Success is as Easy As One, Two, Three!

When you order Synergy Spanish, you will get the three essential ingredients necessary to give you command of the Spanish Language.

1.The Synergy Spanish Fast Start Guide:

Gives you everything you need to master the foundation of your Spanish speaking success, the Synergy Verbs and Brick and Mortar words. You learn the secrets to speaking freely and expressively as you discover how to combine Spanish words into fluent sentences.

In this fast start guide you also learn...

  • What to focus on for Spanish success from the first day – if you’re serious about using your Spanish in the real world
  • Why learners who focus on minor points of grammar generally fail miserably in real world Spanish communication.
  • The memory technique that took me from failure to success in Spanish.

  • 22 Spanish multipliers: These easy multipliers instantly boost your ability to interact with anyone.
  • How to make a good first impression every time

Instead, you'll master the most important parts of Spanish and have much more power to communicate in less time with less effort.

2. The Synergy Spanish Audio Lessons:

Have you ever listened to a language audio and felt totally lost? So many courses have long dialogs or situations with Spanish spoken very fast right from the first lesson. Somehow you are expected to magically learn Spanish by listening to something you can't understand.

The audio lessons in Synergy Spanish are designed to actively involve you in your learning. They build up in steps, so you never feel lost. You gradually use more words, in more patterns. It's always enjoyable and stimulating as you express more with each lesson.

In fact, some of my students describe it as, "so much fun it's addictive". (In a healthy and enjoyable way, of course.) They even feel a little sad when they finish the course as they miss their lessons.

Sure sounds better than being bored or confused, doesn't it?

If you have tried other audio systems and have been at a complete loss, take heart, this will be a very different experience. Instead of boredom, confusion and frustration you'll...

  • Quickly go from your first words to your first sentences... Even if you have never learned a word of Spanish, you will go from zero to real communication in no time. You'll be making real Spanish sentences in your first audio lesson, which will take you less than 10 minutes to finish.
  • Use the most powerful, useful and fluid combinations of Spanish words. You can't overuse them. Native Spanish speakers instantly understand them. Most people never find out how to use this easy and fast way to interact with the Spanish world. Yet, it is so simple to use, once you are shown.
  • Step by step instructions for articulate Spanish with just 138 words. You master the words and patterns completely. That mastery gives you the ability to express yourself articulately and speak with confidence and fluidity anywhere you go.
  • The ultimate Spanish implementation system. Throughout each audio lesson you get immediate feedback. You know when you are doing well, and if you're not getting it right, just repeat the lesson. In no time, you'll be ready to step away from the course and use your Spanish in real-world situations.
  • Each lesson is an engaging 10-15 minutes. Practice speaking Spanish clearly in real sentences that’ll be understood wherever you go in the Spanish-speaking world.
  • You can practice without pressure or stress in your car or in your home. Each audio builds onto the previous one. Almost without effort your Spanish gets better and better.
  • Best of all, it's fun; it's engaging and never boring because you enjoy the interaction. It leaves you wanting to do more. You are inspired to know that every time you use the audio your Spanish improves. You’ll be delighted to hear yourself say so much Spanish from the handful of easily learned patterns.

3. Synergy Spanish Coaching

Synergy Spanish is a very easy course to get through, and for the most part your learning will seem effortless. But what happens if you do get stuck on some part of the course?

In most Spanish courses that's where you would stop and never get to speak Spanish. Not so with Synergy Spanish, I am going to make sure you experience the thrill of speaking Spanish for the first time.

I am not some big inhuman corporation to "love you and leave you". I won't take your money and run.

I am one guy with a passion for Spanish and a gift for teaching. I am your Spanish communication coach. Should you hit a roadblock, I am here to help you, just send me an email. Use it as a lifeline. I'll get you through, so you achieve your goal of speaking Spanish.

Frankly, most people never need to use this feature. The audio and fast-start action guides are so easy to follow you'll find learning to speak a very smooth process. Nonetheless, isn't it good to know you are not on your own and that help is available if you need it?

So why not take action to bring Spanish into your life right now? I am so confident you will enjoy wonderful success with this language, just like my other students that you read about, I am going to offer you the most secure guarantee you could ever wish for.

Unsolicited testimonials from people just like you

"A few weeks ago my knowledge of Spanish was zero and now I am confident enough to speak the language."

Michael

Your whole approach to learning in your "Synergy Spanish" programme exemplifies par excellence what is at the very cutting edge of successful teaching and learning.

I have lots of other audiocourses, schoolbooks, PC-programs etc, but after 1 1/2 year of studying I still didn't understand much. I could say a lot of sentences, but nothing I really could use in conversation. And I was not able to make sentences of my own.

But now I can!

"Your courses are challenging at times, but never out of reach, and never boring!"

Steve

"I love your work! Your courses are perfect for the way I like to learn. The audios and workbooks complement each other well. Your courses are challenging at times, but never out of reach, and never boring! I get a real sense of satisfaction the second time I listen to a lesson and find myself quite able to do it!

Steve later added....

"You course helps me at home and at work"

I have four children, and they all are taking Spanish in school. It's nice for me to be learning something that I can share with them -- something we are all in together. But your course is the difference between learning academic Spanish and actually using it. My oldest daughter took four years of high school Spanish and earned A grades, but she and her friends can't communicate verbally as well as I can after a month or two with your audios and workbooks. At work, I manage literacy outreach programs here in Indiana. We have a growing Spanish-speaking population, so most of our outreach is bilingual. I feel like I can relate more to folks who are confronting a new language, which improves my work and will give me added credibility in my career."

"I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over."

Marjorie

"I travel in Mexico frequently and am going to Cuba for a month this December. I appreciate your course and things I struggled with doing university Spanish by correspondence (brutal!) are coming easier.

I have tried soooo many courses and for the most part they are bloody awful. I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over.

Thanks for providing an excellent practical beginner course... Muchas gracias profesor."

Jane

"I have been going to Spain for three months every year for about 20 years, last year, an emergency came up, and I couldn't deal with it at all, so I decided to try and learn some Spanish, not before time , as I am 78.

I am most impressed with your system of teaching, your way of teaching verbs is so good, (as I can now make sentences). Your very enthusiastic pupil,"
Jane Noble - UK



"I am now moving past the fear that stopped me from speaking Spanish before!"

Michael

"First, let me say that your Synergy Spanish course has been amazing for me! I am the son of a Cuban father and an American mother, but was raised in an environment where I never used Spanish. Consequently, I lost all my speaking abilities early on and was always too shy and self-conscious to practice speaking when I had the opportunity.

I am now in a relationship with a woman with limited English capabilities, and with this inspiration, and your course, I am now moving past the fear that stopped me from speaking Spanish before and finally having real conversations! Thank you!!!"

Dear Soon-to-be-Spanish Speaker,

Would you like to speak Spanish that could impress a native speaker? Want the words to freely flow from your tongue instead of sounding like a slowed down, broken record because you’re constantly grasping for the correct grammar in your head?

Enough! The "traditional" way of teaching Spanish doesn’t work for most people – especially if you’re not in grade school or college anymore.

Even if you’ve tried to learn a language before and failed, now you can learn "real-world" Spanish quickly and easily. I am a language teacher and after years of using methods that just don’t cut it, I have finally developed a course, Synergy Spanish, that really works for the rest of us. (If you want to know my motivation, read the "about me" in the side panel.)

And here’s the best part: all you need to do is learn 138 words - more about this later. It will work for you if:

  • You’ve never spoken a word of Spanish
  • After endless courses and months or even years of study, you still can’t string a Spanish sentence together without a struggle.
  • You need to learn the language quickly.
  • You are over 40 and "learning isn’t as easy as it used to be"
  • You don’t want to spend countless hours worrying about grammar or sentence structure.
  • Spanish has been difficult for you in the past.
  • You don’t have a lot of time to devote to lessons.

Now You Can Get By in Spanish With Just 138 Words!

It’s crazy. So many people who want to speak Spanish end up not being able to speak at all. Yet, I have used my knowledge of languages to develop a simple formula that virtually assures your success.

All you need to do is learn just 138 words. Then, I'll show you how to use them so effectively that native Spanish speakers will be amazed at how easily you express yourself in their language.

Yes, I know it sounds incredible, maybe even too good to be true (just look at all of the unsolicited testimonials on this page to see that it works). Yet, when you experience the power of using patterns to multiply Spanish, you'll know for sure that speaking Spanish is easily within your reach.

Once you've tried this approach you'll wonder, "why haven't I been shown this before?"

When you know the formula, it's a piece of cake to make thousands of Spanish phrases from that small list of just 138 words.

The secret lies in a simple method of combining Spanish words. A method that is very straightforward. In fact, with just a little effort you can master the entire system in as little as 25 days...

It Doesn't Matter How Old You Are, Or What Experience You Have Had With Spanish, Now Communicating In Spanish Is Possible For Everyone

  • Speak Spanish that will impress even a native – even if you feel like you’ve had a "mental block" with learning Spanish before.
  • Avoid the traps that stop most people from finally speaking Spanish
  • Feel comfortable in real-world Spanish conversations – in as little as one month – much less time and effort than other courses
  • Learn how to connect with locals if you live in a Spanish-speaking country or a Latino community in the US.
  • Converse with your Spanish-speaking coworkers and neighbors
  • Travel to exotic Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, and experience the real flavor of the local culture
  • Teach your children or grandchildren to speak Spanish

Learn Just a Handful of Words and Enhance Your Travel Experiences

You know, travel is so much more enriching when you have enough confidence in your Spanish to get away from the tourist traps. Instead of some plastic, made-for-the-masses, fake experience, you can soak up the vitality of Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, as you interact and move freely among the locals.

Your new ability in Spanish is your passport to go where the tourists don't go. It's your ticket to having real conversations in Spanish for the very first time.

"It's like entering some secret club, with a hospitality you probably have never felt before. You'll get extra attention in the restaurants. You'll get tips on where to go to get the best quality authentic products. And of course, when you speak Spanish the prices are so much better."

Native Spanish speakers really appreciate your efforts to speak to them in their language. When people realize that you are not the typical ugly foreigner expecting "them" to speak English, you will be amazed how warmly you are treated.

If you work with Spanish speakers, or live in a Spanish-speaking country, then this course is even more important for you than it is for travelers. It has opened many doors for many people to connect with native Spanish speakers. It has even been responsible for at least one marriage.

"If it hadn't been for your course I probably wouldn´t have been able to meet my future wife."

First of all I want to say thank you for creating Synergy Spanish. It has been a tremendous learning experience for me. You make the whole thing so easy.

I am getting married next week to the love of my life. My fiancée is Mexican and doesn't speak English. If it hadn't been for your course giving me the ability to understand and speak conversational Spanish fast, I probably would not have been able to meet my future wife.

Kyle Crawford - San Felipe Marina Resort, Mexico

It is always great to hear when people use my course to interact in the real world. Not everyone has such a life-changing event as Kyle did; however there are many interesting ways my students have used their newfound ability in Spanish.

From Bill's "off the tourist path, home-hosted visit to Chiapas, Mexico" to Jaime's new ability to communicate with the parents of her students who only speak Spanish.

Jan can now communicate with the Spaniards in Orihuela Costa, where she plans to spend her retirement. Steve and Mai have also moved to Spain. They wrote to tell me that they now have a new confidence to talk to people in their adopted country.

There are many more stories. In fact, I get letters everyday from people who are delighted to be communicating in Spanish for the first time. Here are some comments from some of my students.

"Our experience was due in large part to being able to communicate in Spanish"
Bill

My wife and I belong to Friendship Force International, which is an organization that sponsors home hosting. Late last year our club arranged to visit two clubs in Chiapas, Mexico (Tuxtla-Gutierrez and Comitan).

I thought that since Chiapas is so far south and off the tourist paths that I would enjoy the experience more if I knew a little Spanish when we stayed in our host's homes. I went to the Internet and searched for courses. Yours caught my eye and I ordered your Synergy Spanish with the 14 Cd's. I started my studies right after the first of the year, and we left for Chiapas March 12th.

!!Muchisimas Gracias!! I was able to communicate with our first family that spoke very little English. The Chiapas area is wonderful!! The people are great, the food was delicious, the drinks flowed freely, the music and dancing went on as long as you could stand. Those two weeks were the best vacation I can remember taking!

I could go on for several pages about our experience but it was due in large part to being able to communicate in Spanish. I am 69 years old, and if I can do it, anyone should be able to experience the thrill of speaking another language.

I particularly want to thank Elena for her work on the Cd's. Her slow pace and clear pronuciation of every word made learning that much more achievable.

Keep up the good work and I will be ordering new courses as they become available.

Saludos,
Bill Worthley
Fort Worth, TX

"I can now communicate with the Spanish folk in the town in Orihuela Costa"
Jan

Hola

I have over the last 3 years attended 3 night school classes to learn this beautiful language. After which I still couldn't string a sentence together. I am amazed at how simple you have made this and I can now communicate with the Spanish folk in the town in Orihuela Costa where I am planning to spend my retirement.

"It's made an enormous difference in my ability to communicate to the parents of my students"
Jamie

Dear Sr. Santamaria, I am just on the third CD of Synergy Spanish, but it's made an enormous difference in my ability to communicate to the parents of my students, many of whom don't speak English. Your teaching methods are extraordinarily effective, and I've tried many of them.

Con respeto,

"It is making a big difference to our confidence in talking to people in our adopted country"
Steve

I have been very pleased with the progress I've made using Synergy Spanish. We are English ex-pats who moved to Spain, and have been trying to learn the language, seriously, for 4 years. However, in our 60's learning a new language has been daunting. But we are making real progress now, thanks to your course.

Thanks for Synergy Spanish which really is making a big difference to our confidence in talking to people in our adopted country.

Regards

Steve and Mair Harper

"Now, I can speak with my five new children. Thanks for helping us!"
Renee

Thank you so much for creating this program. My husband and I are adopting five children from Guatemala and really needed a quick way to learn Spanish. Your lessons have been a godsend! Other programs we have tried just haven't clicked. Your method runs circles around all the others we have attempted!

Thanks again.

Ahora, puedo hablar con mi cinco nuevos ninos! Gracias por ayudarnos! (now, I can speak with my five new children. Thanks for helping us!)

Renee and Scott Dean
Georgia, USA

By the way, I have never solicited a testimonial. All the people decided to write and thank me because they were delighted to finally communicate in Spanish – and Synergy Spanish finally made it possible for them.

Why is this Course So Different?

Most courses teach you grammar in chunks. You learn adverbs and qualifiers today, the subjunctive tomorrow, the progressive the day after that. Most of the time, you're just confused.

You never make free-flowing sentences, and if you do manage to speak at all, it feels unnatural and stilted.

Not only is this antiquated method of teaching grueling for the students, but it's horrible for the teachers as well. You'd be amazed how many teachers hate grammar-based methods. Yet, they have to teach it, because it is part of the curriculum.

What’s worse? Grammar-based methods almost never work.

If it did work, millions of people would speak Spanish as a second language. Yet, very few people are able to use their classroom Spanish to communicate.

In fact, if you have tried to learn Spanish already and failed, it's not your fault. The fault lies in the ineffective methods that you have been exposed to.

You see, studies show that these grammar-based methods of teaching language fail 95% of the time. Notice, I didn't say, "95% of people fail to learn Spanish".

You didn't fail, the method failed.

"The reason you can't yet communicate in Spanish has nothing to do with memorizing another verb tense and all its conjugations, learning the subjunctive, the Spanish verb to be, or any of that grammar stuff. None of that will make a scrap of difference in your ability to communicate."

If you are a beginner, learning more grammar may even make your communication worse. You see, with too much analysis of grammar you become hesitant when you speak. Your mind focuses on rules instead of flowing along with the conversation.

Fortunately, there is an easier way.

It's Simply Astonishing How Well You'll Express Yourself

You may be wondering, "but I already know a lot more that 138 Spanish words and I can't communicate para nada (at all)". Again, it's not your fault. The fault lies in the methods you have been taught.

Spanish words are usually taught in lists. The lists are based on a theme. This is a really easy and fast way to build a Spanish course. But it is next to useless for communicating.

If I created my courses this way, it would take me a few days instead of the best part of a year to make a course. I guess those courses make sense for the publisher's business interests, however, as a way for you to connect with people in Spanish...

Forget about it!

Let me explain why it doesn't work and what you can do about it. Here's what usually happens with word lists. First day you learn words related to a theme e.g. animals. So you learn the Spanish words for goat, pig, donkey, horse, saddle, bridle, tiger, lion, zoo, etc.

Next day's theme is furniture: bed, sofa, table, chair, armchair, cupboard, toy box etc. If you learn 10 words a day then after three days 10+10+10 = 30 words

Now you know 30 words. That’s better than 3 days ago, but can you go out and communicate in the Spanish world?

Not really.

What would you say? Dog cat armchair or pig saddle sofa?

"On the other hand, when you multiply Spanish 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 phrase combinations you can use at will to express yourself. The result is the difference between dog pig monkey vs. me gustaría verla esta noche (I would like to see her tonight.)"

By using combinations, you speak in real Spanish sentences in next to no time.

In fact, the example sentence is from lesson 3 of Synergy Spanish. You easily make sentences like this and many more by lesson 3. Best of all, you can finish lessons 1-3 in just a few hours.

This is the most powerful secret for your successful communication in Spanish.

Instead of learning thematic words-lists that make you sound like a cave man, you discover patterns that multiply Spanish. Then the words flow naturally into Spanish phrases you can use any time you want.

You Can't Possibly Fail, No Matter What Your Past Experience With Spanish.

Perhaps you too know what it feels like to study Spanish without finding any success in communicating. If you haven't achieved the results you wanted, don't worry, I have great news; you'll speak in flowing sentences even before you finish section 1... By section 5, you'll be a speaking Spanish with real confidence everywhere you go.

Here's how each of the sections gives your Spanish a natural flow:

Synergy Spanish Course Sections
Section 1: You learn to talk about yourself. You feel your confidence soar as Spanish starts rolling off your tongue in clear sentences. After completing the 8 user-friendly lessons you are ready to advance to the conversational part of the course.
Section 2: This is the dialog building part of the course, where you multiply your conversation skills. Now the fun really begins. After all, your reason for learning Spanish is to interact with people isn't it?

This section gets you expressing even more than you ever thought you could. Best of all, it happens in a far shorter time than you ever imagined possible. Although you are not yet even half way through the course, I'll bet you are itching to get out there and try your new Spanish speaking skills.

Plus, I show you how to utilize sentence starters and sentence builders, so your Spanish really starts flowing very freely.

Section 3: Are you going to travel with your husband/wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, children or friends? Then section 3 has extra appeal for you.

Even when you're not traveling or you travel alone, this section gives you extra Spanish speaking skills to use everyday.

You talk about what you are doing as a group. Again, it's easy. You just add another layer. And while you practice talking about your group, you learn more Brick and Mortar words. With every addition you speak on a wider range of topics. Yet, even though you are using a lot more Spanish, it's always easy for you to speak freely and comfortably.

Section 4: You'll extend your conversational ability to speak to groups of people. This is for talking to in-laws, workers, students etc. With the command you now have of the language, it's easy to talk to them all as a group.

You are becoming very accomplished in your ability to communicate in Spanish. However, I must emphasize again, there is no confusion. It's still straightforward. It's as easy-to-follow as the first step, even though now your skill is much more advanced.

Section 5: It's time to bring it all home. You round out your narration skills. Talk about your kids, wife, countrymen, work mates, anyone you want, in free-flowing sentences.

When you finish you realize that you have never had to suffer through mind-numbing conjugations, yet you are speaking in perfectly conjugated Spanish sentences. Without studying direct and indirect object pronouns, you are using them in almost every sentence.

All the confusion has been eliminated. The grammatical labels are stripped away and unnecessary because you have taken command of your communication in Spanish. You have a very comfortable and natural feel for the Spanish language.

The Synergy Spanish System – Your Success is as Easy As One, Two, Three!

When you order Synergy Spanish, you will get the three essential ingredients necessary to give you command of the Spanish Language.

1.The Synergy Spanish Fast Start Guide:

Gives you everything you need to master the foundation of your Spanish speaking success, the Synergy Verbs and Brick and Mortar words. You learn the secrets to speaking freely and expressively as you discover how to combine Spanish words into fluent sentences.

In this fast start guide you also learn...

  • What to focus on for Spanish success from the first day – if you’re serious about using your Spanish in the real world
  • Why learners who focus on minor points of grammar generally fail miserably in real world Spanish communication.
  • The memory technique that took me from failure to success in Spanish.
  • How to learn Spanish words 4 or 5 times faster with less effort.
  • 22 Spanish multipliers: These easy multipliers instantly boost your ability to interact with anyone.
  • How to make a good first impression every time
  • A simple mistake language students make that causes tension when speaking to natives – why it happens and how to avoid it...and make people warm up to you instead
  • Why being bold is almost always more important than being perfect...make the most effective use of your Spanish every time.
  • Simple sentences-starters & sentences-builders: Multiply your power of communication in Spanish with simple patterns you can use right away.
  • Fend off bad habits with easy-to-understand accuracy pointers. Start on the right foot and make a habit of speaking Spanish well.
  • How to maximize and multiply your Spanish. You’ll discover why most Spanish courses cover too many topics. They overload you and leave you not knowing how to use anything. Instead, you'll master the most important parts of Spanish and have much more power to communicate in less time with less effort.

2. The Synergy Spanish Audio Lessons:

Have you ever listened to a language audio and felt totally lost? So many courses have long dialogs or situations with Spanish spoken very fast right from the first lesson. Somehow you are expected to magically learn Spanish by listening to something you can't understand.

The audio lessons in Synergy Spanish are designed to actively involve you in your learning. They build up in steps, so you never feel lost. You gradually use more words, in more patterns. It's always enjoyable and stimulating as you express more with each lesson.

In fact, some of my students describe it as, "so much fun it's addictive". (In a healthy and enjoyable way, of course.) They even feel a little sad when they finish the course as they miss their lessons.

Sure sounds better than being bored or confused, doesn't it?

If you have tried other audio systems and have been at a complete loss, take heart, this will be a very different experience. Instead of boredom, confusion and frustration you'll...

  • Quickly go from your first words to your first sentences... Even if you have never learned a word of Spanish, you will go from zero to real communication in no time. You'll be making real Spanish sentences in your first audio lesson, which will take you less than 10 minutes to finish.
  • Use the most powerful, useful and fluid combinations of Spanish words. You can't overuse them. Native Spanish speakers instantly understand them. Most people never find out how to use this easy and fast way to interact with the Spanish world. Yet, it is so simple to use, once you are shown.
  • Step by step instructions for articulate Spanish with just 138 words. You master the words and patterns completely. That mastery gives you the ability to express yourself articulately and speak with confidence and fluidity anywhere you go.
  • The ultimate Spanish implementation system. Throughout each audio lesson you get immediate feedback. You know when you are doing well, and if you're not getting it right, just repeat the lesson. In no time, you'll be ready to step away from the course and use your Spanish in real-world situations.
  • Each lesson is an engaging 10-15 minutes. Practice speaking Spanish clearly in real sentences that’ll be understood wherever you go in the Spanish-speaking world.
  • You can practice without pressure or stress in your car or in your home. Each audio builds onto the previous one. Almost without effort your Spanish gets better and better.
  • Best of all, it's fun; it's engaging and never boring because you enjoy the interaction. It leaves you wanting to do more. You are inspired to know that every time you use the audio your Spanish improves. You’ll be delighted to hear yourself say so much Spanish from the handful of easily learned patterns.

3. Synergy Spanish Coaching

Synergy Spanish is a very easy course to get through, and for the most part your learning will seem effortless. But what happens if you do get stuck on some part of the course?

In most Spanish courses that's where you would stop and never get to speak Spanish. Not so with Synergy Spanish, I am going to make sure you experience the thrill of speaking Spanish for the first time.

Frankly, most people never need to use this feature. The audio and fast-start action guides are so easy to follow you'll find learning to speak a very smooth process. Nonetheless, isn't it good to know you are not on your own and that help is available if you need it?

So why not take action to bring Spanish into your life right now? I am so confident you will enjoy wonderful success with this language, just like my other students that you read about, I am going to offer you the most secure guarantee you could ever wish for.

About Marcus Santamaria

Marcus Santamaria Family

My name is Marcus Santamaria. That's me with my family in the picture above. After I met and married my wife, Elena, we decided to move to Mexico to be near her family. But I didn't speak a word of Spanish! I needed to learn the language so that I could interact with her family and friends.

But I had another motivation, too...

As an English teacher, I absolutely needed to learn the language so that I didn't feel like a fraud! I mean, how could I possibly teach English as a second language when I didn't even know one myself?

My shame drove me to search endlessly for a better way of learning and teaching. Believe me, learning Spanish was not easy for me...I struggled! Eventually I discovered what I had suspected all along: the problem was not me, but the methods I was using.

Once I discovered what's really important for communication, (you'll be amazed at how much of what is normally taught actually gets in the way of communication) and how to best use the mind for rapid learning, I became fluent in Spanish and very successful at teaching, too!

I am now a very successful language teacher - one of the most respected and highest paid in Latin America. But the main reason I have a lot to offer you as a Spanish teacher is simply this:  I have been where you are now. If you have ever had a tough time learning a language, Synergy Spanish can help - and I'm here for you, too!

SUNNY LATER ADDDED

"Last Sunday we took a little Mexican girl (and her parents) to a water park to celebrate her graduation from kindergarten. In the 3 years we've known this family, I have always dreaded spending time with them due to not being able to converse with them.

Eureka!!!!

I doubt that I missed more than a couple of words and was able to make myself understood with only a few hesitations. If people only realized what a sense of accomplishment I felt the whole world would sign up for your courses! And, the best part of it is, I had only completed lesson 17 of Synergy. At this rate, I'm sure I'll be yapping with the best of them by the time I've completed your program. You're the BEST!!!"

I signed up just 2 weeks before I was due to holiday alone in San Pedro de Alcantara. I took great delight in going into a Spanish bar/restaraunt and ordering in Spanish.

The obvious dedication that you and your wife have put into it. I am humbled really, and wish you all the continued success in your ventures as you really understand the marketing value of providing EXCEPTIONAL value.

I could say a lot of sentences, but nothing I really could use in conversation. And I was not able to make sentences of my own.

I have four children, and they all are taking Spanish in school. It's nice for me to be learning something that I can share with them -- something we are all in together. But your course is the difference between learning academic Spanish and actually using it. My oldest daughter took four years of high school Spanish and earned A grades, but she and her friends can't communicate verbally as well as I can after a month or two with your audios and workbooks. At work, I manage literacy outreach programs here in Indiana. We have a growing Spanish-speaking population, so most of our outreach is bilingual. I feel like I can relate more to folks who are confronting a new language, which improves my work and will give me added credibility in my career."

"I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over."

Marjorie

"I travel in Mexico frequently and am going to Cuba for a month this December. I appreciate your course and things I struggled with doing university Spanish by correspondence (brutal!) are coming easier.

I have tried soooo many courses and for the most part they are bloody awful. I am going to be sorry when I blast through this course and the party is over.

Thanks for providing an excellent practical beginner course... Muchas gracias profesor."

"Your way of teaching verbs is so good, as I can now make sentences"

Jane

"I have been going to Spain for three months every year for about 20 years, last year, an emergency came up, and I couldn't deal with it at all, so I decided to try and learn some Spanish, not before time , as I am 78.

I am most impressed with your system of teaching, your way of teaching verbs is so good, (as I can now make sentences). Your very enthusiastic pupil,"

"I am now moving past the fear that stopped me from speaking Spanish before!"

Michael

"First, let me say that your Synergy Spanish course has been amazing for me! I am the son of a Cuban father and an American mother, but was raised in an environment where I never used Spanish. Consequently, I lost all my speaking abilities early on and was always too shy and self-conscious to practice speaking when I had the opportunity.

I am now in a relationship with a woman with limited English capabilities, and with this inspiration, and your course, I am now moving past the fear that stopped me from speaking Spanish before and finally having real conversations! Thank you!!!"
Michael Rodriguez - Florida



"It proves that even this "senior citizen" can learn Spanish"

John

"Excellent course--well worth the modest price! It proves that even this "senior citizen" can learn Spanish. Your course is well-thought-out, student-friendly, and it offered everything your advertisement stated! Me encanta!"
John Weismiller - Arizona, USA



"Before I took your course I would not have dared to approach a Spanish speaker for a date."

Neil

"Since my last testimonial to you I now have a Mexican girlfriend. Without Synergy Spanish, this would not have been possible.

Before I took your course I would not have dared to approach a Spanish speaker for a date, but the course helped me to speak Spanish with confidence. Thanks again"
Neil Ellson - Texas, USA



"We would do nada más que estudiar espanol if we didn't have anything else to do but duty calls even when retired!!!"

Clair

"My husband just retired from 43 years of teaching high school in May and we decided to learn Spanish and have been studying your course for the past 6 weeks. We are just finishing leccion once (11) and are amazed how much we have learned already.

We are really enjoying taking your course together. We would do nada más que estudiar espanol if we didn't have anything else to do but duty calls even when retired!!!"
Clair Weismiller - Tucson, AZ



"I have tried everything and no success, but with your course it's wonderful."

Ramesh

"I am 65 and living in Panama, I have tried everything and no success, but with your course it's wonderful. Thanks and regards"

"I have recommended your program to many friends and others as the best way to start learning Spanish."

Ken

"I am a regular Synergy Spanish user and have recommended your program to many friends and others as the best way to start learning Spanish.

While I have the full Transparent Languages Now program, I seldom use it as I find your system to be much easier and more productive."
Ken Stark - Canada


What's the difference between the instant download access and the home delivery version?

Actually, there's no difference. The content is exactly the same. The only difference is the delivery method.

The download version gives you access to our member's site where you can access and download all 68 Synergy Spanish audio lessons plus the step-by-step action guide. You can play the audio on your computer, or if you prefer to learn away from your computer you can burn them to CD or transfer them to a portable device like an MP3 player or iPod. (This is a really great way to learn. I finally got an iPod; they're fantastic.) That way, you can learn Spanish while you drive, walk or just in any comfortable place that you enjoy. More details here...

The home delivery version includes the audio on CD. Just pop it into your player and you're good to go. Learn Spanish wherever you use your CD player, It's a great way to turn downtime, like driving or doing chores, into super effective time. Like one of my students said "I don't even notice the traffic in Los Angeles while driving home" and another student in Scotland learns on his bus ride home. So, while the rest of the world is listening to mindless drivel on the radio or just zoning out, why not gain new skills and start communicating in Spanish? More details here...
