<p>Let me explain how you can put all the steps together. In 31 days or less you could be conversing in Spanish</p>
<p>After 31 days you may not speak Spanish perfectly. You may not speak Spanish quickly. You may even speak Spanish in a funny way at times. But you will have the tools to get your point across. Because everything you learn <strong>you can use immediately</strong>.</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t it make sense to start by learning the easiest and fastest Spanish you can put to use right away? Imagine speaking Spanish in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">real world</span>.</p>
<p><span id="more-105"></span></p>
<p>Imagine traveling in a Spanish speaking country and <strong>confidently talking with the locals</strong>.</p>
<p>It is a <strong>lot of fun</strong>.</p>
<p>In <strong>31 days</strong> you could be <strong>communicating in Spanish</strong> ordering meals, reserving hotels asking questions and understanding answers.</p>
<p>You can even get away from the over priced tourist traps and explore markets, meet villagers and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">go where the locals go</span>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the best part of learning with <strong>cognates</strong>, You learn a ton of <strong>Spanish you can use right away</strong>.</p>
<p>I have a system called Shortcut to Spanish. You learn to create Spanish in a variety of subjects to <strong>communicate in any situation</strong>. It is a very easy way for you to get started in Spanish.</p>
<p>There are 4 essential components of the <strong>Shortcut to Spanish</strong> that allow you to use Spanish immediately. Let me show you the 4 components and give you a few more hints to get your Spanish started.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Shortcut to Spanish component #1</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px; color: red;"><strong>Cognates – How to Learn 3013 Spanish Words Instantly</strong></p>
<p>Cognates are English words with Latin roots. Cognates are an <strong>easy, fast, fun</strong> way to <strong>get a Spanish vocabulary of thousands of words</strong>.</p>

<p>Here is an example.</p>
<p>Most English words that end in <strong style="color: red;">IFY</strong> can be changed into Spanish by changing <strong style="color: red;">IFY</strong> to <strong style="color: red;">IFICAR</strong></p>

<p> You just learned 6 Spanish words.</p>
<p>In the book you will learn <strong>31 categories of cognates</strong>. You will have an <strong>instantaneous Spanish vocabulary</strong> of <strong>3013</strong> words. </p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Shortcut to Spanish component #2</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px; color: red;"><strong>Mnemonics –Ignite your imagination to Learn Spanish Words Fast.</strong></p>
<p>A mnemonic is a mental link between English and the Spanish word you want to learn.</p>
<p>Here is an example</p>
<p>The Spanish word for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">American</span> is <strong>norteamericano</strong> &#8211; pronounced (nautay americano)</p>
<p>Imagine all the <strong style="text-decoration: underline;">naughty americans</strong> on spring break in Cancun. Really use your imagination and see the Americans acting <strong>naughty</strong>.</p>
<p>Okay okay that&#8217;s enough.</p>
<p>By creating a picture in your mind and using your imagination you access the fast learning creative part of your brain.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How do you say American?</span></p>
<p>Of course you know.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll <strong>never forget</strong> how to say American in Spanish.</p>
<p>In the Shortcut to Spanish you will learn <strong>132 more words</strong> that you won&#8217;t forget.</p>
<p>The mnemonics words are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">carefully selected Spanish words</span>. They are selected because they give you versatility in communication.</p>
<p>In fact that brings me to the next component of <strong>Shortcut to Spanish</strong> which gives you more Spanish you can use immediately.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Shortcut to Spanish component #3</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px; color: red;"><strong>Power words and power verbs – The 100 most frequently used words in Spanish.</strong></p>
<p>The most <strong>useful words</strong> that you can combine with cognates to make unlimited Spanish sentences.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that as few as 100 words are repeated over and over in <strong>50% of all communication</strong>.</p>
<p>So don’t learn useless words like I did.</p>
<p>I learned words like <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dish rack</span> and the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rasp</span> in the tool shed.</p>
<p><strong>You will learn much more flexible words</strong> like who, what, why, where, when, how, how much, very, more, many, drink, eat, new, with etc..</p>
<p>Learn these <strong>100 most versatile words</strong> and combine them with cognates and you&#8217;ll <strong>be talking up a storm in no time</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Shortcut to Spanish component #4</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px; color: red;"><strong>You create Spanish.</strong></p>

<p>And the best part is you <strong>create Spanish on a variety of subjects</strong>. You learn to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">communicate in any situation</span>.</p>
<p>In fact if you did the mini course with a little lateral thinking you will understand this Spanish.</p>

<option value="English - I am going to"> There are tomatoes,cauliflower and Fresh fruits.</option>
</select>

</select>
<p>You <strong>get the idea</strong>.</p>
<p>We are only <strong>scratching the surface</strong> of what you will be able to say.</p>
<p>When you learn all the <strong>31 categories</strong> that make <strong>3013 cognates</strong> and <strong>132 mnemonics</strong> including the <strong>top 100 words</strong> you will have <strong>infinite Spanish communication possibilities</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Just 31 days</strong> of <strong>easy short Spanish lessons</strong>. The lessons take you between <span style="text-decoration: underline;">15 and 25 minutes a day</span> to complete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center; margin: 30px 0;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Lesson 3</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">How to put Spanish together and speak in clear sentences that make sense.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>In Lesson 1 &#8211; you learned you can make a 1000s of Spanish words instantly with cognates.</li>
<p></p>
<li>In Lesson 2 &#8211; you learned how to you can learn Spanish words in a flash with mnemonics.</li>
<p></p>
<li>In Lesson 3 &#8211; I will show you how to put Spanish together in clear sentences that make sense.</li>
<p></ul>
<p><span id="more-93"></span></p>
<p><strong style="color: red;">The key to putting Spanish together</strong> is knowing <strong>which words are important</strong> to learn and which words are a waste of time.</p>
<p>When I started learning Spanish I used to learn words by category. For example The category is the kitchen so you learn all the words in the kitchen.</p>
<p><strong style="text-decoration: underline;">Don&#8217;t make this mistake!</strong></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe I was so stupid and wasted so much time. I even learned the word for dish drainer.</p>
<p>How many times do you think I have used the Spanish word for dish drainer in conversation?</p>
<p><strong style="text-decoration: underline;">Never!</strong></p>
<p>The secret to getting on the fast track with Spanish is to learn the words that have the most versatility.</p>
<p>In Lesson 2 you learned some of the most versatile words in Spanish.</p>
<p>The 3 power verbs you know are crucial for communicating in Spanish. I will show you how to combine these power verbs with the cognates you know to make instant clear Spanish.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<p>Do you remember what <strong>voy</strong> a in English means?</p>
<p>Have a look in the box to see if you are correct.</p>
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a"> Spanish &#8211; voy a</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> English &#8211; I am going to</option>
</select>
<p>Do you remember that you can make Spanish from English with words that end in <strong style="color: red;">ate</strong> by changing <strong style="color: red;">ate</strong> to <strong style="color: red;">ar</strong>?</p>
<p>What is the Spanish word for </p>
<select name="Voya">

<p>How are you doing so far?</p>
<p>Learning can be easy can&#8217;t it.</p>
<p>I am sure you know the famous expression <strong>&#8220;mi casa es su casa.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong style="text-decoration: underline;">My house is your house.</strong></p>
<p>What is the Spanish for</p>

<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  I am going to ventilate my house.</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> voy a ventilar mi casa.</option>
</select>
<p>It is still easy to do right.</p>
<p>Do you remember what <strong>hay</strong> means?</p>
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">hay</option>

You didn&#8217;t even use the <strong style="color: red;">dad</strong> words and you only used one <strong style="color: red;">ico</strong> word.</p>
<p>Imagine how much Spanish you can create when you use <strong style="color: red;">31 categories of cognates</strong> combined with <strong>18 power verbs</strong>.</p>
<p>Then <span style="color: red;">multiply</span> that with <strong>100 power words</strong>.</p>
<p>Put all those elements together and you can express just about anything in Spanish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center; margin: 30px 0;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">Lesson 2</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100%;">How to unleash your memory power to learn any Spanish word instantly.</span></p>
<p><strong style="color: red;">Mnemonics</strong> are without doubt <strong>the most powerful tool</strong> for learning a language.</p>
<p>Mnemonics took me from getting nowhere in Spanish, to dominating the Spanish language. When I started learning Spanish, I studied grammar and my progress was slow. It was like banging my head against a brick wall.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to bang your head against a wall. You can start learning Spanish on the <strong>fast track</strong> by using mnemonics from the get go.</p>
<p>Why are mnemonics so important?</p>
<p><span id="more-74"></span></p>
<p>Mnemonics put <strong>the power of your imagination</strong> into learning. Unfortunately in school most learning is left brain analytical and rigid. Mnemonics are the opposite, they access your right brain. The right brain is <strong style="color: red;">creative, imaginative, fluid</strong> and <strong>much better at fast learning</strong>.</p>
<p>How do mnemonics work?</p>
<p>Mnemonics make a link between English and the Spanish word that you want to learn. For example</p>
<p>The Spanish word for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bread</span> is <strong>pan</strong>.</p>
<p>Imagine yourself cooking <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bread</span> in a <strong>pan</strong>. Really use your imagination and see yourself in your mind cooking a whole loaf of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bread</span> in the <strong>pan</strong>. The more crazy it looks the better.</p>
<p>By creating a picture in your mind and <strong>using your imagination</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you access the right brain</span>. Plus you have a link between the English word <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bread</span> and the Spanish word for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bread</span>, <strong>pan</strong>.</p>
<p>I challenge you to learn <strong style="color: red;">6 Spanish words in under two minutes</strong>.</p>
<p>Use your imagination to learn these 6 words. Pay attention to the Spanish pronunciation in brackets.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Spanish word for beach is playa. (PLI AH)<br />
Imagine you are &#8220;playing on the beach</li>
<p></p>
<li>The Spanish word for to eat is comer. (COM AIR)<br />
Imagine your mum saying to you &#8220;come here to eat your dinner.</li>
<p></p>
<li>The Spanish words for something is algo. (ALGO)<br />
If you remember the hit TV show &#8220;Married with Children&#8221;<br />
Imagine Peg Bundy saying to Al Bundy, “Al go and do something.”</li>
<p></p>
<li>The Spanish word for there is or there is is hay. (EYE)<br />
Imagine a cyclopes says there is hay in my eye.</li>
<p></p>
<li>The Spanish word for I have is tengo. (TENGO)<br />
I have a new Nintendo game and I have ten goes a day.</li>
<p></p>
<li>The Spanish word for I am going to is voy. (BOY)<br />
Imagine saying to a friend “Boy a party<br />
tonight I am going to really enjoy that.”</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay is it really possible to learn 6 words in under two minutes?</p>
<p>It sure is!</p>
<p>Lets see if you got the idea of mnemonics and learned the Spanish words.</p>
<p>Think about what the words in the boxes mean.</p>
<p>Then Check your answers by clicking on the arrows</p>
<p>What are the English words for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  voy</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> I am going to</option>
</select>
<p> What are the English words for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  tengo</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> I have</option>
</select>
<p>What is the English word for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  algo</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> something</option>
</select>
<p>What are the English words for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  hay</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> there is</option>
</select>
<p>What are the English words for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  comer</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> to eat</option>
</select>
<p>What is the English words for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  playa</option>
<option value="English - I am going to">beach</option>
</select>
<p>What is the English word for<br />
<select name="Voya">
<option value="Spanish voy a">  pan</option>
<option value="English - I am going to"> bread</option>
</select>
<p>That was actually 7 words with the example word <strong>pan</strong>.</p>
<p>You know learning only nouns with <strong style="color: red;">mnemonics</strong> is <strong>even easier</strong> than what you just did. You learned 3 <strong>power verbs</strong>. They are a little harder to learn but much more important.</p>
<p>Why are <strong>power verbs important</strong>?</p>
<p>Because what good is knowing a bunch of words if you can´t put them together to <strong>speak Spanish</strong>.</p>
<p>Well guess what?</p>
<p>Using the 3 <strong style="color: red;">power verbs</strong> You already learned <strong>you can start putting Spanish together</strong> and speaking Spanish.</p>
<p>In the next lesson I will show you how to use the power verbs you just learned and combine them with your 1000 words cognate vocabulary to <strong>start speaking Spanish in sentences</strong>.</p>
