Overview

Synergy Spanish is a unique course that uses something called the "80/20" rule. That rule states that in any field of human endeavor 20% of the effort brings 80% of the results.

In the course, students work through 68 structured audio lessons with the aid of a guidebook. Each lesson is about 10 or 15 minutes long. In these lessons students learn 138 "brick," "mortar" and "synergy" words used to make 88,000 potential Spanish sentences.

The system eliminates a lot of tedious grammar and is good for people who hate traditional grammar exercises and want to learn basic Spanish fast.

The teaching method is not a gimmick. In fact, it's surprisingly effective. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson while the guidebook explains the Synergy language system that simplifies language learning.

The best way to get a feel for the Synergy method is to take their free test drive.
