The Spanish translation of “simplicity” is interesting.
Like so many English words that end in -ity, in Spanish the ending is -idad.
Simplicidad.
However, simplicidad really refers a simple or innocent person.
When you are talking about concepts, ideas and explanations the Spanish word for simplicity is claridad.
What does claridad mean?
Again IDAD in Spanish = ITY in English.
Claridad = clarity
Leonard da Vinci said this about simplicity:
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
And Walt Whitman said,
Simplicity is the glory of expression.
If like me, you agree with Walt that simplicity is the glory of expression, the opposite is also true. Complexity is the
killer of expresión, comunicación, y conversación.
The last thing you need in your Spanish journey is complexity.
Complex explanations have destroyed many a person’s chances of speaking Spanish.
Don’t let that happen to you.
Combat the complexity.
Tíralo a la basura (throw it in the bin).
Then you can free up your innate language abilities.
Yes, you do have language abilities. Everyone does, but complicated textbooks suppress those talents.
I’ll give you your first step in discovering your language talents en un momento, but first read this comment from Jan.
“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.”
Three years of night school for naught. Jan’s is a common story.
Here’s the second comment from Jan.
“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.”
Unfortunately, most people’s Spanish ends before they make the shift in approach that opened up the language for Jan.
They just give up without being able to say anything.
Just like Jan, you can break free from the traditional system that holds you back. You can choose a different path. This path will lead you to another destination.
Instead of finding yourself 3 years older without being able to speak a single sentence, let simplicity and clarity guide you to speaking Spanish starting from day 1.
The simple path that opened up the language for Jan is even easier to use now.
It’s now available in a new video format that releases your innate ability even faster. You can start expressing yourself in Spanish today.
Try this new Synergy Spanish video format and see just how simple, easy, and fun speaking Spanish can be.
You have given me hope.Gracias
Thanks for helping me learning Spanish
Nos vemos en la lección dos. Gracias.
So thank ful for this Spanish/English lesson. Having the video is so helpful. Can I save it to watch repeatedly? How do I do it?
Yes, just click the download button on the left below the video.
Marcus, I have a long way too go due to time but am learning Spanish more and more thanks to you. You really do a wonderful job!
I bought the basic lessons and the audio lessons. It is great to learn and thank you for keeping in touch with the short practice regularly.
This gives me hope.
I like the Synergy Spanish with video; but I am confused on the $97. price as your other two courses were $70. total.
How many courses do you offer for a beginner and your best price, please.
I am presently studying Duolingo, but your Synergy video was extremely helpful.
The courses are listed on this page:

Good short to the point lesson, not however much advance for me, although there were long pauses between words and sentences. Problem for me been there
was no written Spanish script remaining on screen, which I would have need of to copy, so as to revise familiarise, and assimilate content. As another respondent says below, we could possibly replay a number of times, so as to assist making written training copy, but would be more ideally have written copy remaining on screen for this purpose.
By the time I ran the free video. I could speak each sentence without fault.
This is brilliant. As soon as Tengo necesito dinero I will buy this course.
Now Marcus when are you bringing out the Mandarin version. I struggle on relentlessly but is a tough call on your own.
Muchos gracias mi Amigo.

I have to be honest and say we are still struggling to chat after years of courses and doing your beginners course for four or five years. Memorising just the basics is.an issue! We spend the winters in a mainly English speaking area of Spain. But try to only go in Spanish bars etc. We keep trying though. Thanks for you help Marcus. Gracia’s por tu aydudalo

Marus thank you for sending me all the samples of Spanish language. I been trying to learn all I can. With your illustrations, I have learned alot of spanish. Because you make it easy to learn.
I am a seasoned student of Synegy Spanish having completed the first sessions. I have been sort of lax with my Spanish lessons. I would like to continue where do I go from here?
I live in a part of Spain where nearly every-one wants to speak English so it makes me very lazy but I really want to learn Spanish so I am encouraged by your course – Thank you so much
Excellent! My particular strength is being able to see the written word(s) along with the spoken words My hearing is not as good as it once was but this method has been teaching me far more quickly than I thought possible. Like many others I thank you.
Very clear and useful, you make it so easy for us, thank you Marcus
A wonderful way for seniors whose hearing is not as sharp as it used to be — to learn a language.Two thumbs up!
Thank you for a very positive experience.
I have enjoyed what I have tried to follow so far. My operation has been postponed for a month so I will try and follow whatever you send me. Thank you.
You make it so easy!!
Muchos gracias Marcus por el video
This is a really wonderful way to learn Spanish. It is so easy, esp for me because I took Spanish in high school and college. I want to continue learning more. When one buys the Synergy Spanish course, what all comes with the package?
If you click the link under the video there is a description of what is included in the course.
