9 Minute Spanish
I’ve been working on a presentation to show people how quickly they can start enjoying speaking Spanish.
It turns out that in less than 9 minutes the sentences already start to flow.
Here are those 9 minutes for you to enjoy

I’d love your feedback, leave me a comment on the blog and let me know what you think of this approach.

Sorry, could not open the audio.
I started the 9 minute audio lesson and after the ity words from English to Spanish it just stopped and I couldn’t get it going again. I enjoyed the ity tip very much.
Thank was very easy.
Thanks for the 9 minute class. You and your wife did a superb job and it was easy and fun. When I get serious about learning more Spanish, I will consider your course.
The audio didn,t come thu.But really enjoy and listen to your other audio tidbits. For me seems the way to learn a language. One day soon I,ll get the courses.and I already recommended them to my friends.
Hi, Marcus
I enjoyed your spanish lesson very much.I think this is the right way to start to learn spansi, to talk spansih directly.Grammer you can learn afterwards.
I’m a swede but even for me it’s a good help to see the simularity between the english and spansh words.
Indeed very good!
Thanks
Kenneth
This is good and makes learning quite easy
I enjoyed the 9 minute review as I enjoyed your Shortcut to Spanish. However, I felt very “cheated” when I finished that course to learn that your next level was “full” and I had to either wait 6 weeks or choose another course. As a 4-5 year language teaching professional, I was especially disappointed.

Hi Suzanne
Sorry you missed out on a place in Bola de Nieve. As that program does include coaching, I do have to limit the positions to be able to take care of all the members.
Saludos

Thanks I enjoyed that, seems to be very easy, when does the difficult part start?
Sorry, cannot open Audio
It’s an excellent presentation and makes it easier to study
Gracias
Could not get into the 9 min. Spanish, said internet was not working but it was.
Thanks very much. I enjoyed it even if it got a little too fast for me.
Gracias por nueve minuto español que me lo mandó. Pienso que es un genial manera aprender. Muchas gracias Marcus David Petherbridge
thank, all your lesson, are easy to understand and pick up. Your ingenuous and different way, is a very good starting point. Its just a pity your student here does not perserve longer.
Thank you both

Muchas gracias! Very helpful
Hola Marcus,
I really like it, and I think it is good way to learn and practise.
Gracias
Gracias por la presentacion y information muy bién
muy bien
muy bien ! hope one day i can speak spanish as English!
Hi Marcus,
Yes I enjoyed your lesson very much and found it quite easy, but I would have liked to see the text as I was listning, I just find that if I can read the words while I am listning to them they stay in my mind a lot easier.
keep up the good work, especially for idiots like me!

Hi Hilary
Thanks for the feedback.
Lately, I have been making transcripts available of all my lessons. I must point out that it’s important to interact with the audio. It’s essential to your success with Spanish that you be as engaged as possible with the lesson. However, as long as you are not glued to the transcript, if text can help then I’m all for it. After all, the sooner the Spanish stays in your mind the sooner you can use it to speak with your amigos.
I’ll make transcript of this lesson available soon.
Saludos
Marcus
enjoyed the 9 mins . i am dyslexic so this could be the way forward for me
I like your method of teaching. I imagine that it appeals to those of us who don’t have a natural talent with languages.
Very useful comprehensive
Hi Marcus,
Thanx for your offer, but for my the difficulty is double.
My languane is Dutch, so I must translate it first in english.
Do you also have directly Dutch / Spanish lessons?
Best Regards from The Netherlands.

P.S.
I like to learn Spanish because my two daughsters-in-law are ½ Spanish.
So my grand-daughter is ¼ Spanish.
All born in The Netherlands.
I think this method is great! Is this an ongoing course?

Nice presentation.
My short tongue, my memory are my shortcomings in learning spanish .. but I am tryng to learn each day while I am still working here in madrid.
Your presentation is very helpful.
I have been trying to teach myself Spanish for the last 10 years or so, I have a reasonable command of it but last feedback. I soooooo wish I could afford the course that Marcus offers as it sounds so easy to understand and I know I would learn Spanish much quicker. Who knows, one day I shall be able to get it from him.
Hi Marcus: Because I’m on dial up the server cuts out and I do not get much but what I got in bit & pieces sounds good. Do you have a tape of it and the othe hints that I can buy. Also I’m finished “shortcut to Spanis 12,3. It was absolutely GREAT ! ! ! ! What is the next set of tapes I can get. We leave to Mazatlan for 6 months on Oct 29th So I’d love to hear from you quickly. Thanks in advance

Hi Marcus,

I am just a beginner so I need lesson right from the beginning with how to greet ask question among others.
I would be grateful for your positive response towards my concern

Hello ,Mr.Marcus,
I am greatful to know your spanish lessons and the 9 minute audio lesson. And its very interesting to listen the English grammar to spanish and I learn a lot even though I didn’t speak it I gained to understand many words to spanish.. More power and goodhealth to you and your family. Thank you very much, and hope you will not stop your diligent works for us.. God bless..
Respectfully yours.
Lorena
Very disappointed. Couldn’t download the Audio.
Brilliant and very enjoyable .I cannot believe that learning could be so easy .
It is a good way to learn and I will consider trying the program.
Muchas Gracias!
I have managed to download your 9 minute audio Marcus and I found it very interesting. It has given me more of an insight into the language as just learning the verbs and basics was becoming boring so now I can look on endings of words, eg cion, edad etc which will help me remember words more easily. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your audios via Email. I am going to Spain after Christmas for 4 weeks so really look forward to your help and I can then practise what I learn with my friends in Spain. Muchas gracias Marcus – hasta pronto………… Mavis Windows, England.
very very helpful conversetions.keep it up to help people like us.your way of teaching is very easy,rememberable,wonderful and much more….
hope to have many more like this.
I wa glad that I could open your presentation. I will replay it lots so that I can become better at enunciating the words. Hopefully, before too long, I will be able to purchase your lessons.
As I listened to your voice, it was not how I expected you to sound. (smiles). It’s like hearing someone and when you see them, it is not how you pictured the person to look.(smiles)
All of this is a compliment to you, however. Thanks for the free lesso. I do appreciate it.
Stan
