Robin from Canada wrote to me about her experience using Synergy Spanish after Shortcut to Spanish.

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.

You may be wondering why I creatyed two different courses for beginners

The reason is that the two courses take two different approaches to learning
Spanish but with the same goal….

To make Spanish easy to learn and easy to use
for effective communication right away.

Shortcut to Spanish – shows you how to use
3145 Spanish words you didn`t know you knew.
How to convert English words with Latin roots
into Spanish. You learn to use thousands of
Spanish words instantly. More importantly
you learn to use them for real Spanish
communication.

Synergy Spanish - shows you how to combine
138 Spanish words to make thousands of
Spanish sentences. When you know just a
handful of words and some simple patterns
you can express an incredible amount
in Spanish.

So they are separate courses that approach
Spanish from two different angles that meet
in the middle. This gives you two separate
means of expressing yourself in Spanish
very fast.

Both have audio lessons available, so you
can learn to speak Spanish clearly and be
understood when you use it with native
Spanish speakers.

Synergy Spanish has 10 hours of audio content
and Shortcut to Spanish has 3 hours of audio.

I can´t recommend one course ahead of the other,
they are both helpful in different ways. for example,
if you wanted to get fit you might do exercises,
you might swim or you may do both. Each would
be helpful in different ways and doing both would
be better.

If you are committed to Spanish and have time and
energy to continually improve, I would start with
Shortcut to Spanish, it gives you a broad
understanding of Spanish then I would move onto
Synergy Spanish to gain extra speaking confidence.

However, If you have an urgent need to be understood,
I would choose Synergy Spanish, it will give
you more speaking options.
