Synergy Spanish Review

Rating: 81/100

Synergy Spanish is geared towards beginners who want to learn basic Spanish quickly. It focuses on getting the student to learn new words through patterns and memorization. The program claims that you only need to know 138 words in order to get by in Spanish speaking countries. This means a lot of grammar is eliminated, making the course very, very basic. The course can either be downloaded solely from audio, or as a hardcopy CD which is sent to you in the mail.

Pros

• Speed: This course was designed to help beginners start speaking the language quickly and efficiently. This makes it ideal for people who are planning an upcoming trip to a Spanish speaking country and need to learn the basics to get around.
• Simplicity: Synergy Spanish breaks the course down into five sections, each only lasting around 15 to 20 minutes a piece. This helps keep the student’s attention and become more engaged in the lesson plan.
• Emphasis on conversation: Synergy Spanish claims the reason why so many people fail at learning Spanish is because most lesson plans are based on grammar. This program emphasizes conversational Spanish, so that you are able to string sentences together right from the beginning.
• Affordable: The price for this program starts at just $67.

Cons

• Limited Vocabulary: This program only teaches you 138 words, greatly limiting your speech. While this is great for hobby Spanish speakers, it is not ideal for those who really want to learn a new language.
• No Grammar: While Synergy Spanish claims the reason why people fail is because of an emphasis on grammar, it is still a necessary part of learning a new language. Not understanding grammar greatly reduces the ability to effectively communicate your thoughts to others.
• Beginners Only: This course is really only good for people who have no prior knowledge of Spanish. Once the course is over, you will likely need to invest in another program if you want to learn grammar and additional vocabulary.

Special Offers

The course, if you have it delivered to your home on audio CD, is $110. However, you can get exactly the same content for $67 if you download it directly to your computer.

Guarantee

Marcus Santamaria, the creator of Synergy Spanish, claims you will speak Spanish successfully in 60 days or you’ll get 100% of your money back.

Conclusion

While Synergy Spanish is good for people who just want to know enough Spanish to get by on an upcoming trip, it is not ideal for learning the language. To really learn to speak Spanish, you’ll want to invest in a more comprehensive, in-depth program that covers both grammar and conversational Spanish.
