"How My Students Have Enriched Their Real World Experience By Using Spanish."

They put what they learned into practice and enjoyed wonderful success communicating in Spanish.



"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.

"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.

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

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.

"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.

"I now find it much easier to communicate with my neighbours in Majorca, Spain"

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.

Thanks a lot

"The learning almost seems to happen as if by magic"

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your Synergy Spanish course...you have a real gift for making it easy to learn to speak a foreign language. I love the way your course is structured...as you described, the learning almost seems to happen as if by magic.

Great instructional design on your part (that's part of what I do for a living--courseware design--so I know effective training when I see it!)!

"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.

Best Wishes

I have been trying to learn Spanish off and on for about five years, but I have to admit I have learned more in the last month than all that time.

"This is bringing what I have learned to life."

Hola:

I have been in a Spanish class for 32 weeks, and this is bringing what I have learned to life. The synergy Spanish is working great, it is coming fast now.

I tell people that this man has got it together, he has figured it out.

"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.

By the way, I'm telling everyone that I know that if they utilize your service and the Rosetta Stone in combination, they have a great great way of learning the language.
