Today I am going to share how to take your first big step toward becoming conversationally fluent in Spanish. All it takes is a few minutes of your time, every day, to speak and understand authentic conversational Spanish and build fluency - one lesson at a time. Please remember this: None of the language programs you've been using are focused on fluency. Even the best language programs are pattern rich, but poor in vocabulary and memory. They're focused on making you feel good; you go away speaking a couple of sentences that you may entirely forget. I have a better system, a superior approach. It's called Automatic Fluency. Using my Automatic Fluency programs does not guarantee fluency, but it does guarantee you the best fluency-building training in the industry. Yes, only my Automatic Fluency programs have the advantage of real fluency building with vocabulary rich and memory rich simplicity. They're all audio for maximum learning flexibility. All programs teach the same high frequency language that native speakers use, and all use my original spaced memory repetition, allowing you to use your own creativity while enhancing your language memory. Just as important, only my Automatic Fluency programs teach you enough high frequency vocabulary to truly build fluency and enough interval memory practice to really make it stick. My unique, proven fluency approach is built into each and every Automatic Fluency program. Fluency-building features include: High frequency language: allows you to communicate faster Memory-enhancing retrieval techniques: lets you remember the words while you learn Cutting edge original sentence creation techniques: speak your own mind in a comfortable way that is natural to you Complete listening guide & free eBook included.

What is the Michel Thomas Method? The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary. Lessons 1-7, the Beginner course: This course makes no assumption of knowledge of any language other than English and gives the beginner practical and functional use of the spoken language. It is also appropriate for anyone who has studied Spanish before, but has forgotten much of it or does not have confidence in speaking. The Beginner course is designed to take you from complete beginner to intermediate level. Lessons 8-11, the Intermediate course: This course is for those with an intermediate-level foundation in Spanish, or those who have completed lessons 1-7 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak Spanish proficiently and easily. How does it work? Unlike most language courses that focus around topics or grammar forms, the Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the first 10 minutes of the course, you will be generating complete sentences on your own. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons, allowing you to build ever-more complicated sentences. Because the Method is based on understanding, not memorisation, there is no set limit to the length of time that you should study each lesson. Once you feel you have a good grasp of the language taught in one lesson, you can move on to the next. In lesson 2 of the Spanish Beginner course, you’ll learn about stress, gender and plurals, and how to use adjectives with nouns with…- prepositions: 'of', 'in'- nouns and adjectives: 'type', 'expensive', 'Spain', 'Mexico', 'Argentina', 'busy', 'tired', 'this', 'house', 'table', 'day/s'- formulating polite requests- social communications: 'please', 'How are you?', 'Hello/Good morning' - time and place expressions: 'today', 'here', 'soon', 'late', 'later'- verbs: 'to give', 'to speak', 'to come', 'to leave', 'to understand', 'to say/to tell', 'to buy', 'to have', 'to have to' ('must'), 'I am', 'you are', 'I am going (to)', 'to be'- forming Spanish verbs from English words ending in ion- Spanish verb endings- stress in Spanish: Michel's 'NOSE' rule- pronouns: 'you' (as object, e.g. 'to see you'), 'them', 'me' ('for me' vs. 'to see me')- question and linking words: 'when?', 'how much?', 'if', 'how?'- words ending in ical: 'political', etc.- word order in Spanish: 'the situation political'- gender in Spanish: different endings for Roberto and Roberta- forming plurals in Spanish: add ' s' to adjective and noun - phrases: 'more or less'In the next lesson you’ll learn about the two Spanish verbs for 'to be' ('ser' and 'estar').

Are you looking for a more exciting way to learn Spanish?
Are you bored to death of the same old study routine?
Want to make learning Spanish so fun it’s addictive?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then keep reading....
Studies show that the number-one cause of why people quit learning a new language is....
Yes, you guessed it! Boredom.
Language students typically give the same reasons for why they quit:
“I just don’t feel excited about it anymore.”
“I’m bored to death of the same old routine.”
“My textbooks are painfully boring!”
Out of all the obstacles they face, boredom is the language learning killer.
So, what’s the solution?
It’s simple.
Read the next line carefully and try to picture the scenario in your mind. What emotions do you feel when you read it?
“The housemaid's scream is as sharp as the shards of Venetian glass surrounding the corpse.” (Spy My Shadow by Elspeth Antonelli)
If I asked you, “Who screamed?”, “Why did she scream?”, and “What surrounded the corpse?” I bet you could tell me in a heartbeat.
But why so easy?
It’s because it’s so damn intriguing.
Emotions like suspense, intrigue, and excitement intensify your concentration, help you remember and retain what you learn, and most important, help you maintain consistency and interest in your language studies.
This book will help you do just that!
Included in this book:
• 12 original murder mystery, thriller, and detective short stories in Spanish
