Happy Valentine’s Day! Yes, I know it’s almost 4 months ago.
I’ve had the lesson from Valentine’s Day converted to our new Video format. And I thought I’d sent it to you now rather than wait until next year.
I made them for Valentine’s Day but there’s plenty of Spanish you can use any day of the year.
They’ve got two great Spanish expressions you’ll use in your daily Spanish repertoire.
Once you know them, you’ll find yourself using them to start a sentence. They help your Spanish flow in the same way native speakers talk among themselves.
It also uses the Synergy verb, Brick verb and Mortar Word patterns from Synergy Spanish.
If you haven’t done that course, you’ll still get a lot from this lesson. And if you’re a Synergy Spanish graduate, you’ll see just how easy it is to talk about any theme you want with the patterns you already know.
The audios also get you using the pesky little Spanish pronoun “se.”
“Se” can be a bother to English speakers. However, the audios get you started speaking with one of the ways to use “se” right away.
Plus, it’ll make your Spanish sound authentic and natural to your Spanish-speaking amigos.
I thought these two lessons were excellent.
2 very clear and helpful videos. Thanks.
Thank you for a terrific lesson Marcus!
Practiicing using “se” is a great help and would love to see more in the future.
I am amazed with this approach! I am motivated to continue with your lessons. Muchas gracias!
Muy interesante!
Thanks Marcus, its very educating, I can now use the word “se”.
Thanks, it is extrairdinary helpful. I love it.
I also can’t get these videos to play…keeps showing ‘loading’. Nothing wrong with my computer that I know of…are you using some unusual video format…not compatible with Microsoft perhaps?
Un mil de gracias! Comprendo aunque todo no es facil por me!
Todavia, estoy tratando.
Poco loco aqui? Tal vez si, tal vez no. Quien sabe?
Craig
Thanks, I find this helpful. Have always found se confusing.
When will you have a set of hard disks in the past tense? It is not convenient for me to be at my computer for long periods of time?
I sure hope this can be accomplished soon?
Sincerely, Evelyn
Sorry, we don’t have the more advanced levels on CD. I don’t foresee it in the near future as those courses are much more in depth with more content and putting them on CD
is cost prohibitive.
Could not open it. It continued to say loading.
There is nothing wrong with my computer.
another very useful video. Gracias Marcus
Very helpful!
Yo comprendo el video ‘El Dia Valentin’ muy bien. Me enviara mas de estes, por favor, gracias.
No hablando Espanol con nadie por veinto anos ni se Espanol bien
Thanks for this little extra. Reminded me how much I learned from your teaching style and I have been getting too lazy in my Spanish learning!
I love the way you teach the Spanish language. It makes it interessting and easy to learn.
Tengo ochenta anos , pero este no es una problema, guando tengo un maestro como usted. Nessesito estudiar mucho mas para hablar espaniol en mis vacaciones en mexico en el proximo ano. Los Vacaciones son mucho mejor, e mas interessante,si es possible hablar con los Mexicanos.
Repetito muchos de los lecciones .
Muchos Gracias Senior Santamaria Me gusta mucho su curso!
Thank you, I’ve learned several things from this lesson, to go with the excellent teaching I’m receiving through SynergySpanish.com!
Marcus, The video was v. good except for “en las que” amigos novios o esposos, near the end of Part 2. Not explained, or did I miss something-?.
Muchas gracias otra vez Marcus por su generosidad y oir español de Elena como es hablar.
Se necesita practicar mucho pero desafortunadamente hay demasiado poco tiempo
¡(problamente por todos)! Sin embargo buenas suerte con su muy buen programa de español.
Thanks for the video. It helps a lot. I wish you could add that type of video to the synergy intensive lessons, especially with the conversation to listen to at the end. It really gives you a better understanding!,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we’ll be adding a video option to all the course soon.
Thanks.s for the very needed practice. I need to do this pair again and get back to the Spanish books. I’v e taken too many days off; LOL

hi marcus your course and these little gems you send out have helped me and my confidence, i live in a mostly spanish community and although i still get a little tung tied my neighbours are still impressed (well at least most of the time) but we all laugh at some of my gaffs especialy the ladies
Gracias Marcus y Eleana,una leccion muy simple pero muy bueno!
Nice lesson Marcus and Elena. I’m looking forward to your next new course. Jim.
Thanks for your help Marcus. I really enjoy learning Spanish from you. You made it so easy.
I love the Audio/Video versions – I find that I learn visually and this format is perfect for me.
Thanks
Susan
I love learning new Spanish words every day! Especially this one about St. Valentine’s Day which is ‘mi cumpleanos’. 🙂
Hola Marcus y Elena,
Me gusta mucho aprender español de esta manera.
Gracias y hasta pronto !
Very good, enjoyed both lessons.
The extra little topics help us in understanding Spanish.
Very good and very useful
Excellent lesson
me gusto mucho y aprendo bien. Muchas gracias. Usted es un buen maestro. Lo siento, yo no escrivo bien.
Hi Marcus
I got caught out somewhat when, at 9:30 “the day of love and friendship” was translated as se llama el día de LA amor … etc and not DEL amor as is previous bits_
Love your lesson,
John
Thanks for pointing out the typo. I’ll get that fixed right away.
I appreciated this little boost. I’ve had to be away from my lessons for a while, and this reminded me of how much I enjoyed being immersed in the learning process. Gracias!
This is an excellent way to learn. This video is well formatted. He terminado el curso de
Synergy Spanish y empece Bola de Nieve hace seis meses. Gracias por ayudarme y he mejorado mucho con su curso.
N Aini.
Thanks, you make it much easier to understand the way you teach. Well done.
Hola Marcus, Elena y Jose Luis!
Otra vez, muchas gracias por su ayuda. He terminado shortcut to spanish y synergy spanish tambien. I am more than half way through Bola de Nieve. Brilliant!
Mary Clyne
Hola Marcus,
I will be prepared for next el dia de San Valentine and these little exercises help me go on with my learning of the language. I am looking forward to my next session in the fall.
Gracias to both you and Elena
Louise
Marcus, Good to have this reminder and keen to know when any new courses are likely to be ready/published. I miss the opportunity to improve my Spanish.
John Mc
Hello Marcus!
Thanks a million for the brilliant spanish lessons!
Im very lazy but i do a bit time to time but all the lessons are really very helpful.Thanks for your huge work you are doing,and i really appreciate that!
Good luck!
Best wishes,
Gunita.
Appreciate your lesson. This lesson is particular interesting.
Muchas gracias por la leccion. Es muy interesante.
I really liked and the end I understood everything Elena said! Thank you.
St Valentine’s Day – extended version, excellent. Repetition of the linking words in everyday use is a key to linking phrases together to make conversations flow.
The short videos are excellent prompts to remembering the key linking phrases.
musho gusto Marcus <
lo agradesco tu curso con el video
Thank you Marcus. This is excellent. I have also done the initial synergy spanish course, but need to know which course to do now, as I am still having difficulty understanding when someone replies to me in spanish,
Thank you again,
Sean Reilly
