Don’t miss any Sideways Spanish Audio

I thought it was so good. Far better than reading boring charts

Hi marcus,
Thanks for making me feel that at age 65 i might be able to master this at last.With sheets of verbs and tenses i was getting a bit down and have got rid of my Spanish teacher after asking her time and time again to slow down in speaking Spanish to me like i was a native and giving me A-level papers telling me what to do in Spanish. I only want to have small conversations to start making friends and she seems to be grooming me to talk on Spanish newsnight with Senor Jeremy Paxton.
Regards John.

I love your lessons I only need more time then I would be fluent.

Hello, I’m really progressing with Marcus
thanks a lot for all these lessons and tips about Spanish
Now I can speak Spanish and make coherent sentences though i’m slow
but I know it’s just a question of time

At last I have found the patterns I have been looking for. This is the way I teach English but of course you need to know the language to find the patterns. Thanks so much. I hate taking the long way around when I know there must be a shortcut.

It has only taken me months to happen across your site. Perhaps I was motivated to keep on searching because my second semester Spanish is taught by someone with an Asian accent that I cannot understand most of the time.Just having finished your first audio, I find the exercises to be exceptional and the system of approach original.

Hi Marcus,

I am just learning Spanish but, feel I need a book to follow along with. The volume was low on

the audio. Is it any louder on the rest of the audio”s?

–Thanks Diana

Are there only 2 sideways audios? I can’t find anymore and the first 2 are great.

great!!!!!

i thought it was a excellent way to learn spanish

Thanks for these

Do you have a course which deals specificially with conjugations for tenses other than present? I have present down just fine but have had a block for years in learning the other ones. Really hoping

Hola

A part Bola de Nieve called Advanced Concepts makes it easy to speak about the past and future.

Saludos

Marcus

good idea. my husband is even getting interested and he has tried several night classes with not much progress

I am slightly Dislexic and find your way of teaching so good i am so pleased that i bought your course i enjoy learning thank you

I appreciate your effort to simplify Spanish. The focus on similarities is very helpful. I use your lessons in conjunction with Rosetta Stone and Rosetta Stone benefits because of the tutorial aspects of your approach. I, personally, benefit when given a reason as to why something is as it is. Keep up the good work.

Have completed Bola de nieve and recommend it. Thanks Marcos. I hope you are living with your son

Thank you for your help usted es muy bien mastro.

Hi; Marcus,

Thank you for your patience and encouragement. You are very good teacher.

I alway learn from your site.

Hi Marcus,

Your method of teaching spanish is the most effective I have encountered. I have gone through the 25 lessons and in two months I could use all the patterns in the lessons. Keep up the good work.

Gracias por la atencion

I have been teaching myself Spanish for a few years but although I can read it quite well I have problems speaking and understanding what is spoken to me because I live quite a secluded life and so I rarely get the opportunity to practise. Your audio lessons are very well structured. I appreciate this as an ex teacher. They encourage me to speak aloud and increase my confidence. Thank you.

i thought it was a excellent way to learn spanish

I am slightly Dislexic and find working from a book really hard i am enjoying your course very much and enjoying learning

This has lifted a veil from my brain,sooo simple yet sooo effective. Thank you

Dear Marcus,
I have recently purchased Three courses from you. Synergy Spanish and shortcut to Spanish informal deluxe 1 and two, In the last Month.
I find your teaching methods so refreshing and easy to learn. After almost ten years of living around many coastal areas of Spain and now Latin America. taking many endless courses, books and private lessons with no success, i was at the brink of giving up and failure for the last time. No matter how much time i studied, practiced or wrote in Spanish i could not seem to put a conversation together face to face.
Your courses have given me the confidence i lacked for so many years and have helped build that bridge back to interacting with my friends here Latin America.
I can not Thank You Enough for making this course so enjoyable, easy to listen to and comprehend. It is so incredible that i am now starting to win the war on this language…. I still have a long way to go….but for the first time in many years i feel the confidence to move forward enjoying absolutely every lesson… Learning has never been so enjoyable or easy for me i can’t There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to you and this course… my only regret is that i didn’t find your courses all those years ago. Life would have been so much easier back then.
I am a firm believer in Better Late Than Never… and i am only to happy to sing your praises to anyone who asks me about your courses.

I do however have another request…. as i think it would be a natural for you in the way that you teach…
Do you teach English also?
My husband and I along with our teenage children donate our time here in Costa Rica to the local students that want to learn English. We have had some fabulous results, but i must say an English course from you we would buy for all our students and friends that want to learn English. I can’t think of a nicer gift for us all to share….
muy agradecido Tania McCreath.

Hola

Thanks for that great feedback. Helping people make sense of Spanish when they have struggled with the language is what i do best. It always makes my day when I get this type of comment, thanks again.

At the moment I am still busy creating more Spanish lessons. I do want to create a program for teaching English, I’m just not sure when it will happen.

Saludos

Marcus

Pienso que es mas facil “sideways spanish”.

Gracias

Hola, senor (excuse me but I can’t spell your name without looking at it in print”
I want to say santorium but I know that is incorrect.)
I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate all the good stuff you have sent to me via
E-mail; audios and lessons on spanish. I appreciate especially the audios; I record
them on a little recorder (using cassetes) and then play them back over and over
until I learn the words. Acutally, I memorize them so I won’t forget them. Then I
can form other sentences with what I learned from you. I feel guilty because I haven’t
bought anything from you. I am retired and on a fixed income, but I feel compelled to
send you some money for one of your products. Maybe I will, but until I do, please
continue sending the audios. Thank you very much. James wingard
I would put some of this in” Espanol” but I can’t spell in Spanish either; it would take
me all night just to write these short sentences. Actually, I can speak a little spanish,
but I don’t have much change to practice what I know. And without practice, I soon
become rusty and then forget some or all of it. I have copied a lot of material from your
many e-mails and study it when I have time. I am an accountant(retired) (retirado) and
still do some work (I like to use “ubilado” instead of “retirado”)
at home to help out with the finances, if you know what I mean. I tell people I come in
contact with about you and your website, so, I feel I am helping in that regard.
Adios, Y muchas grasias; hasta luego!

Hi Marcus, I lived in Spain for 15 years but never really got to grips with the language. I now live in England but your approach to the Spanish language has made me determined master it. I really enjoy the lessons and feel that at last I am making progress. Incidentally I am 78 years old.

Pretty simple techniques to speak spanish. Amazing how it’s so easy.

Hi Marcus,
I am now working on your course Shortcut to Spanish, and I love it! You are the best Spanish teacher I found that makes Spanish all come together easy.
Thanks,
Andrea.
