Hola Amigo,
If you have been trying to learn Spanish for any length of time
I can guess what is your greatest challenge. I know what that
challenge is because I have faced the same challenge in my struggle
to learn Spanish.
In fact, in your struggle to learn Spanish you have probably
faced a number of challenges:
 Learning
how to conjugate Spanish verbs
Learning
all the different areas of Spanish grammar
Learning
new Spanish vocabulary words
Learning
proper pronunciation in Spanish
But there is one challenge that I am sure that you are facing
that overshadows all the others.
And I know what that challenge is . . . .
UNDERSTANDING WHAT
THE HECK NORMAL SPANISH SPEAKING FOLKS ARE SAYING WHEN THEY ARE
SPEAKING AMONG THEMSELVES! Maybe you have reached a point
where you can understand everything that the instructors or voice-over
professionals are saying in your favorite Spanish course.
Maybe you have even reached a level where you can understand
more than 90% of what the newscaster is saying in "las noticias"
and what the actors and actresses are saying in your favorite
"novelas."
But when you take a trip to Mexico or any other country in Latin
America you are completely lost as soon as the cab driver opens
his mouth...
... and if a homeless person approached you and asked you something
in Latin America, FORGET ABOUT IT!
You'd really have no idea what the heck he was
asking you.
Perhaps you have complimented yourself on how well you communicated
with the Latino waiter in your favorite "comida Latina" restaurant
in the States ...
... after all, he understand everything you said and you understood
everything he said - but as soon he started a conversation with
his co-workers it would not have made a difference if he was speaking
Russian or Spanish...
... because you understand absolutely NADA of what he was saying
to them.
So have you reached a point where you feel comfortable expressing
any thought or idea that you have in Spanish?
But there's a huge gap between what you are able to express in
Spanish and what you are able to understand in Spanish?
If that's how you feel, then I can tell you that I understand...
...I have been in that same situation.
In fact, I was in that same situation less than 4 years ago...
And then, fortunately, I was able to re-locate to Colombia, South
America and live here for more than 3 years - including a year
when I lived in a home where I was the only one who knew how to
speak English - which forced me to only speak in Spanish and also
understand TODO (everything) that they said in Spanish.
But I know that everyone does not have the luxury to just pack
their bags and move to Latin America...
Maybe your job or family responsibilities will not allow you
to just get up tomorrow morning and move to Latin America and
immerse yourself in the Spanish of normal Spanish speaking folks
- instead of the Spanish that you have grown accustomed to hearing
and understanding so well...
... the Spanish that instructors, newscasters, actors and voice
over professionals go out of their way to pronounce every syllable
of every word so clearly.
Fast Lane Spanish
Will Put You On The Right Track to Speaking Spanish More Fluently
and Understanding the Language Like a Native Speaker...
Fast Lane Spanish is a membership site that
uses a SYSTEM to quickly increase your ability to speak and understand
everyday spoken Spanish.
Fast Lane Spanish's SYSTEM uses not one but two methods
to help you not only accelerate your ability to speak Spanish
but also understand it.
And I don't mean only understand the language when a Spanish
instructor or actor speaks it...
...but also understand the language when it is spoken by a cab
driver, shop owner, "obrero" (manual worker), restaurant worker
or even a college-educated professional who is having a laid back
conversation with his or her "amigos" while drinking "cervezas"
(beer) and watching a "fútbol " (soccer) game.

METHOD
1: Video and Audio Spanish Lessons of Advanced Conversations in
Spanish
VIDEOS:
 In
the Membership site, you will get instant access to plenty of
animated videos of native Spanish speakers having conversations
on advanced-level topics of Spanish. In order to cover advanced-level
topics of Spanish, it was necessary to "plan" or re-hearse the
conversations. So I used voice-over professionals in the videos
for Method 1. These conversations do not cover the typical conversations
that you'll find in your average Spanish course.
I am sure that you are sick and tired of hearing the same old
conversations over and over again that you hear in other Spanish
courses. You know what I am talking about. Those boring conversations
about "eating in a restaurant," "checking-in at a hotel," "at
the airport," "at the currency exchange," and "at the market."
In Method 1, you
will watch and listen to animated videos with advanced conversations
of Spanish covering topics such as:
 Buying
a New House
Deciding
What You'd Like to Eat in a Fast Food Restaurant
How
to Eat Healthy
Discussing
the Candidates and Issues of the National Election
What
Are My Career Options?
At
a Concert
How
My Music Lessons are Progressing
Buying
a New Puppy at the Pet Shop
Listening and watching these animated
videos of advanced conversations -- that you are not used to hearing
in your typical Spanish course -- will surely improve your ability
to understand Spanish...
You will hear lots of new Spanish vocabulary words...
... and the videos will give a visual context to your newly acquired
vocabulary words - reinforcing each word so that they forever
stick to your memory.
Each
month, I will add 5 to 10 new "Method 1" animated video Spanish
lessons to our membership site.

These animations and the lesson it gives us are so incredible...

"Normal" and
"Slower" Audio For Every Lesson...
In the Membership site, you will get instant access to two different
"tracks" or recordings of the audio from ALL OF YOUR animated
video lessons...
The first track or recording of the audio is done at
a pace that is 100% normal. It is not slowed down. It is at the
same pace that a Spanish speaker would normally speak...
As I mentioned to you earlier, the video and audio in Method
1 features rehearsed conversations - so I used voice-over professional
for this.
To make sure that you get the most out of these lessons, I have
also included a slightly slower track with a pause after each
phrase or sentence that the native Spanish speaker says.
This helps you two ways . . .
 You
can repeat the phrase after the Spanish-speaker on the recording
to help you reinforce your new vocabulary words.
By repeating the phrase after the Spanish speaker you can assure
yourself that you are learning proper pronunciation.

This was way above my Spanish level - and yet: I found
the subject fascinating and the animation and graphics very
helpful; so much so that I understood way more than I should
have. I got so much absorbed in the subject that only at
the end I realized: Hey this is in Spanish! Great way to
learn: Don’t tell me about grammar. Make it fun and sneak
the boring stuff in. Way to go Patrick.

Complete Lesson Transcripts
In English & Spanish...
I have also included
downloadable PDF transcripts in both Spanish and English to all
of the Spanish audio lessons.
That way, if there are any words that you hear and you do not
understand, you can always look the words up in the PDF transcripts.
Each month, I will add 5 to 10 new
"Method 1" audio Spanish lessons to our membership site.
METHOD 2: Videos
of Regular Spanish Speaking Folks
In Method 2 of this system, I have included
videos of plain ordinary Spanish speaking folks...
The conversations in these videos are not "rehearsed"
or "planned." And the speakers are not actors or voice-over
professionals...
...Just common folks like us who happen to be native Spanish
speakers.
Despite the requests of the Learning Spanish Like Crazy instructors
who told me NOT to include recorded conversations from regular
folks, I did it anyway...
Why???
Because you asked for it!!!

I think it’s an excellent idea. I’ve gotten used to listening
to professionals who pronounce each word perfectly. That
is not the case with most people. It would help us to listen
to "ordinary" people and read along if necessary.

I surveyed the Learning Spanish Like Crazy students and the overwhelming
majority of you said "let's do it!"
And from most of the comments that the LSLC students left on
my Blog, there is one thing that nearly all of you agree on:
"THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF LEARNING SPANISH IS
UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE HECK THEY ARE SAYING WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING
AMONG THEMSELVES"
By the way... I have also included Spanish subtitles and English
translations in all of the videos with common folks speaking so
that you can be sure that you understand what the heck they are
saying.
Each month, I will
add 15 to 20 new "Method 2" videos to our membership site!
Is
The System that I Use in the Fast Lane Spanish Membership Site
Foolproof for Learning How to Understand Everything that Native
Spanish Speakers Say?
I cannot promise you that by becoming a member of Fast Lane Spanish
that you will be able to understand each and every word that you
will ever hear a native Spanish speaker utter...
I cannot guarantee you that if you are in Latin America and a
homeless person mumbles or mutters something to you that you will
understand everything he said...
In fact, I cannot even promise you that if you are in Latin
America and a cab driver quickly blabs off a string of words that
you will not have to ask him to repeat what he said....
But I can guarantee you that by becoming a member of
Fast Lane Spanish that you will greatly improve your ability to
speak and understand everyday conversational Spanish!

Many thanks for the excellent Advanced Video/Audio lesson.
I would definitely be interested in subscribing to more
of these.
I found it very useful to have the English translation included
as I find it really helps my efforts to make progress at
the Intermediate level.
I also think the slow version of the audio is an excellent
idea...
