There’s a new speaking Spanish program on the block and it’s causing quite a stir. “Why?” I hear you ask. Well it claims… wait for it… to teach you how to speak Spanish in just 138 words!

Well, it promises to teach you how to “get by” - but still a pretty amazing claim. Can it be true?

Marcus Santamaria was teaching English to Spanish speakers in Mexico, but couldn’t actually speak any Spanish! This is quite common - often students go to Spain or other countries to treach English, but they don’t actually know how to speak the native tongue! Too frightening for me!

Anyway, Marcus couldn’t do this any longer and developed a curious system for quickly teaching anyone how to get by speaking Spanish.

It’s quite an amazing little course actually. It’s no substitute for a full teaching program, and for that I recommend Rocket Spanish. you can read my review of Rocket Spanish here. However, for a cheaper and quicker introduction to the Spanish language, you could do a lot worse than Synergy Spanish. Give it a try!
