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


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.

"Your Synergy Spanish class is the absolute best that I have EVER seen "


Dear Marcus Santamaria,

Your Synergy Spanish class is the absolute best that I have EVER seen to get someone up and SPEAKING Spanish quickly and more importantly efficiently. I teach now utilizing your course as the background of the course.

I have studied languages for years and I am truly and honestly impressed with the excellent method that you have devised.

You've got a winner there. Keep on doing what you're doing.

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


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,

"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.

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.

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


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


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.

Dear Marcus

I had ordered and started through your Spanish lessons and got to lesson 12 when I had to leave on a Medical mission to Armenia Columbia. I have just returned but wanted you to know your lessons were most helpful. I had studied Spanish in college and use it infrequently now and then with some of my patients but this review was most helpful.

You will be pleased to know I spoke Spanish for the 5 days in Columbia and was interviewed for the TV and the newspaper totally in Spanish.

Marcus,

Your program is by far the best! It’s probably the only reason that I have stuck with my Spanish. You got me out of memorizing words, and not being able to say anything, to actually constructing sentences, and being able to say something.

"Your way of teaching is so different, and I never knew it was so easy!"


Hola Marcus Santamaria!

I'm at synergyspanish lesson 16 now, and already I understand so much more! 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 way of teaching is so different, and I never knew it was so easy!

So thank you!

Next month I'm going to Barcelona to practice what you have taught me.

Hello Marcus

Just a quick note to say how much I am enjoying your course which is great to use. I have to limit the time otherwise I could spend all day on it.

I live in Majorca and have neighbours who speak no English. I now find it much easier to communicate with them and feel far more confident after four years of trying and barely succeeding.

"I have tried other courses but your method is by far the most effective."


I have tried other courses but your method is by far the most effective. I have enjoyed especially your CD's. They are excepcional and your method of "breaking down" the sentence before finally asking the listener to say the full sentence is extremely effective. The CD's are very clear and more importantly not hurried.

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


Dear Marcus,

I am virtually at the end of your wonderful "Synergy Spanish" programme and in less than the 25 days have acquired a remarkable level of competence in basic Spanish. In fact a few weeks ago my knowledge of Spanish proper was zero and now I am confident enough to speak and read the language.

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.

Marcus, you really are on to something very important and exciting with your "Synergy Spanish" system and already I have recommended it to various friends.

"your course is really enhancing my ability to communicate"


Hello Marcus,

I am really enjoying your Synergy Spanish course.

I wanted a course that I could use in my car to help me maintain the Spanish I have already learned. Your course has done much more than that. You teach from a different perspective. Consequently, your course is really enhancing my ability to communicate with the Spanish I already know. Also, I'm learning some new words and techniques as well. In short, you course is helping me 'Synergize' what I already know.

Thanks,

"I am very much enjoying learning Spanish with your courses"

Good morning Marcus, I am very much enjoying learning Spanish with your courses. I completed the Shortcut to Spanish course and thought it was wonderful.

Before this I knew a few words and phrases but when I tried to put them together it was not going too well. By the time I finished Shortcut to Spanish I was making sentences up in my head to translate into Spanish while walking to the bus to go to work.

I have since bought Synergy Spanish and I'm really "cooking" now. I'm almost finished the end of part 2 and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

I am travelling to Costa Rica at the end of this month and hopefully will be able to put my Spanish to good use.

Thank you for all your efforts in producing these programs.

I cannot believe how well I am reading Spanish as well as translating English to Spanish.

I would never have believed it was possible.

I have reviewed Rocket Spanish, Learn Spanish Like Crazy, Pimsleur and I didn't feel the emphasis on audio was the best method of teaching people who are visual learners.

I am so excited about this course. We are going to Peru for two weeks in November of this year. I am looking forward to speaking to the people I meet in their language.

Thank you again for producing a course that really works

Hi Marcus,

This truely has to be the most exciting thing I have yet experienced, I must confess though that I have not been able to fully apply myself, as I am working and at Ulpan learning Hebrew at the same time, I also teach english on weekends, so I have very little spare time..However in the 3 hours that i have applied myself, I learned more spanish than 1 month of hebrew at ulpan...

Its incredible, I am absolutely delighted that I found the course.

"Your course and process is fabulous and in my mind you are a genius"

WOW WOW WOW It is exactly what I needed. It is exactly what I hoped it was going to be. BRAVO

I have just started your course and I am thrilled with it, absolutely thrilled. I am writing from work. My business takes me around the world.

I have needed Dutch, Russian, and now I cringed at the thought of Spanish as well. Your course and process is fabulous and in my mind you are a genius. My boss studied 9 languages and started the Swedish course at Harvard and I got him mesmerized with your course. He too has been just not able to get up the energy to begin a whole new language (like me) even though our work needs Spanish (Psychiatrist with Spanish speaking patients increasing) and our international work in Belize.

Boy do I appreciate you.

Dear Marcus:

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....

below are some more thoughts on how your work has benefited me already.

"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.

All the best, Marcus

Hola Marcus,

Just a line to say Muchas Gracias Senor!

The Synergy Course is helping me more than anything else I have tried. I work in the UK for a Spanish Company. I don't go to the factory in Spain all that often and the company teaches English to all its employees over there so the only time I get to use Spanish is in the taxi and at the hotel. For ten years I have struggled to learn the language. In the last 2 weeks I have done the first 3 lessons on CD and written. I have learnt more from this (and faster, and easier) than I have in the last 10 years!

Thanks again for your help, it's worth every cent!

last Sunday we took a little Mexican girl (and her parents) to a waterpark 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 any sense at all) 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 and haven't even started on the other courses we've purchased. At this rate, I'm sure I'll be yapping with the best of them by the time I've completed all of your programs. You're the BEST!!!

I'm very happy with the Synergy Spanish course, it's helped me to speak with my spanish girlfriend much more easily. She's so surprised with my rapad progress.

I'm looking forward to your Synergy Spanish Level 2 course. Your method of teaching is so effective. I'm a student and everyday on my half an hour walk to college I love to listen and repeat the phrases on my mp3 player,(although everyone on the street has to think I'm loco talking to myself.)

I appreciate your course and things I struggled with doing university Spanish by correspondence (brutal!) are coming easier. For example, the personal a makes more sense to me now... finally.

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

I am most impressed with your system of teaching, I have been going to Spain for three months every year for about 20 years, and have never managed to learn any Spanish, though I have half heartedly tried, the main problem was I was in a village where practically everyone spoke English. However last year we moved about 5 miles down the road, and here it is a very diffent story, 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 find that I know more words than I thought, but not how to put them into sentences, that is why your way of teaching verbs is so good, (as I can now make sentences).

"I am now moving past the fear that stopped me from speaking Spanish before and finally having real conversations!"

Hi Marcus,

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!!!

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

Dear Marcus,

I would like to thank you for creating such a great course. I sampled the free lessons and got hooked very quickly.

I signed up just 2 weeks before I was due to holiday alone in San Pedro de Alcantara. I was off work so I crammed in as much as I could. 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.

I didn`t say much but my effort was recognised and when I returned I noticed how my bill was cheaper!

I learned things on the course that I couldn`t yet use, but I just couldn`t resist asking someone, " Le gustaria pasar un fin de semana en Acapulco conmigo?" If only I`d meant it...

I look forward to doing the rest of the lessons, only a little slower this time.

Thanks again,

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

oh my Gawwwwwwwwwwd!! How you have made the Spanish language so simple is beyond me!!! You have achieved what no-one else seems to be capable of achieving!!

I have been attending Spanish beginners classes for a few weeks now and the teacher still has not encouraged us to make a sentence (one that makes sense anyway!).

I am still learning days of week, months of year and counting to 100. It has tested my boredom threshold and made me feel hugely disappointed in myself that yet again I have failed at learning a language.

But now, thanks to you Marcus, my thirst for learning new words has been re-ignited. And not only that - I actually appear to be very good at it too!!

Thank you once again for simplifying what I thought was going to be a tough journey.

Gracias!

"It really is amazing! You have encapsulated the Spanish language in a very easy to assimilate series of lessons"

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.

I would add that as a music teacher I really related to what you said about all music comes from 12 notes - from Mozart to the Beatles and beyond - 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 allot of time and need to have a working command of the language! Thanks again for making such a wonderful course!!

"After living in Tenerife for 3 years I was beginning to despair of ever finding a way to learn the language properly. Since receiving Synergy Spanish my ability to converse with my neighbours has almost doubled"

Dear Marcus,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and add my praise for your course. After living in Tenerife for 3 years and trying many different teachers and classes I was beginning to despair of ever finding a way to learn the language properly. Since receiving Synergy Spanish last week my ability to converse with my neighbours (who have been very patient with my previous sign language and mispronunciation) has almost doubled over night.....they are as overjoyed as I am.

Your course really is the easiest way I have found to make sense of all the Spanish words I knew but didn't know how to put together.

Keep up the good work

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!

Hi Marcus,

I finished your course

Your approach is truly wonderful. I am 71 years old & thought my memory was starting to go. Your mnenonic approach is extremely helpful & has boosted my memory ability greatly, both for learning Spanish and for everyday living.

Thank you for the good work.
