El domingo es el día internacional de la amistad. (Sunday is the International Day of Friendship.)
The Spanish videos at the bottom of this post are from Valentine’s Day. While Valentine’s Day is a day for lovers in the many Spanish speaking countries, it is also a day of amistades (friendships).
You’ll find the videos relevant to friendship as well as love.
Plus they’ll show you two everyday expressions that make Spanish flow and sound authentic.
They even give you some handy hints on using the tricky Spanish word se.
They also use the Synergy verb, Brick verb and Mortar Word patterns from Synergy Spanish.
If you haven’t done Synergy Spanish you’ll still get a lot from these videos.
And if you’re a Synergy Spanish graduate, you’ll see just how easy it is to talk about any theme you want with patterns you already know.
Here’s what the United Nations website says about el Día internacional de la amistad (International Day of Friendship).
La amistad entre los pueblos, los países, las culturas y las personas puede inspirar iniciativas de paz y presenta una oportunidad de tender puentes entre las comunidades.
(The friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.)
What better way to build a bridge with your fellow man than speaking his language?
Why not take a step along the bridge and speak some Spanish today with these free videos?

Hola todos cómo estás .I have to admit that this was very helpful,interesting and informative.Muchas gracias Mr.Marcus. Since I’ve signed up for your site it has improved my writing and listening skills at school.
Hola Marcus,
Gracias por la lección que era muy útil.
Lee
Que bueno aprender de esta manera !
Es facil y muy agradable !
Gracias por todo !
I agree with all comments about this teaching method using building blocks like babies do to speak to learn, [after all, how did we learn English?] but Marcus, I also like your accent. I am a New Zealander…..Aussie ain’t that far different! Please don’t go American on us with your accent? It is great how it is but I can hear the odd Americanism creeping in especially with your rs and water. It is spelled with a t, not a d. Who drinks wodder? Resist!
Gracias mucho.So interesting,educative and helpful.I want more .
Really enjoyed that lesson
So helpful, gracias.
Gracias por la lecion de espanol de saint valentin.chiao,hasta la vista amigo
Once again a very good lesson. Thanks a lot
I truly enjoy learning a new language. This method seems to be better than others I have tried. I thank you for teaching so well. I’ve been a teacher for many years and I know a good one when I see one!!! God bless you and all your students! SMMK
Thank you Marcus!
Your video opens up another option for connecting with others..yea
These videos, like all the others before, are a revelation. My heartfelt thanks. If Spanish was thought this way in schools, we’d all be Latinos by now.
Really enjoyed this and felt I learned from it , brilliant lessons and no silly tests or games
That was FUN, Marcus.
Your teaching has a way of giving one step by step confidence
Thank you Marcus for these videos.
Hola Marcus, Another GREAT review of a previous lesson. I really appreciate these refreshers being interjected along with the bola de nieve course..Muchisimas Gracias!!
Tu amigo, Rush

I have had someone download some of your lessons to my ipod as I was unable to do so but
I would really like to be able to get further lessons from you. My husband and I LOVE to visit
Puerto Valarta, Mexico and I have been trying desperately to learn this beautiful language.
Cheers
Muchas gracias por este parte del dia de San Valentine.
Clear and simple way of learning.i started years ago with tapes of Michel Thomas and these are the first to be as good as his way of reaching.
Loved this video! Really easy to follow and build on.
Thanks so much.
What a pleasant surprise to find that at last one is becoming to understand , and after all your wonderful well thought out lessons it is no wonder . In a few weeks i am off for 3 months in Spain where i hope to put to test all that you have taught me , I cannot thank you enough old friend for these lessons over the years , you have given a new life to an ‘Octogenarian’.
Thank you Marcus,
You make it much easier to learn Spanish. It also fun
This work a lot better then what I just bought for $279.00 .
fantastic!!!!
I really enjoyed the videos its a great way to learn,muchas gracias.
Hi. Had already purchased this synergy spanish in the past but forgot my email address I used to sign up, can you please help me with log in info
Ava will send you your details via email.
Has been very stimulating to understand and also be able to say and pronounce the words in Spanish.
“Speak Some Spanish on Friendship Day” part 2 is not downloading. The DOWNLOAD button for part 2 downloads part 1 again.
The repition and reinforcement built into the videos is absolutely essential for a slow learner like me! Having dual stimuli, with the written and audio simultaneously is what makes this such a successful program and separates it from others I have tried…muchos gracias
I find these lessons really helpful and enjoyable. I especially appreciate that enough time is allowed between the question and answer. Some other courses rush this which panics a novice speaker and doesn’t give them time to think. Slower is good. Soon I hope to be able to buy the Synergy Spanish package.
Fantastic way to learn the language.
It is so well presented, so easy to learn and understand.
Muchas gracias !
Mia
