The Language Hacking Guide by Benny the Irish Polyglot

Learning the language isn't as hard as you may think it is. Benny the Irish Polyglot speaks 8 languages. Take a look at The Language Hacking Guide by Benny, the owner of Fluent in 3 Months.

You don't need to spend years studying grammar, need expensive and complicated software, or a “magic pill” to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately.The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.

Even though this may be obvious, but speaking a language that you have just started to learn seems impossible to many people. But it’s not actually that hard! That’s what The Language Hacking Guide is about.

Synergy Spanish by Marcus Santimaria

Think you need to study for years to get by in Spanish? Synergy Spanish disagrees. Traditional ways of learning languages don't work.

Sitting in a classroom and memorising verb conjugations just doesn't cut it in the real world. Traditional methods put way too much emphasis on getting the grammar correct and totally ignore the way that people naturally learn a language. Marcus Santamaria (in the picture on the left) has put together Synergy Spanish based on his years of language teaching experience.

By starting with 138 words, you'll begin to branch out and be speaking Spanish before you know it. He has made learning Spanish fun and easy so that you can start learning today. If you have any questions, you can even email him. Take a look at the course Marcus Santamaria created: Synergy Spanish.

Synergy Spanish

2012-02-05T13:18:00.003+09:00

Think you need to study for years to get by in Spanish? Synergy Spanish disagrees. Traditional ways of learning languages don't work. It all boils down to grammar. Something that both students and teachers hate.

Sitting in a classroom and memorising verb conjugations just doesn't cut it in the real world. Traditional methods put way too much emphasis on getting the grammar correct and totally ignore the way that people naturally learn a language. Marcus Santamaria (in the picture on the left) has put together Synergy Spanish based on his years of language teaching experience.

By starting with 138 words, you'll begin to branch out and be speaking Spanish before you know it. Phrases can be built to form sentences and thousands
of phrases can be learnt based on the initial 138 words. For example, learning the cognates helps since many English words that end in "ify" can be changed into Spanish by changing the "ify" to "ificar". Marcus has divided these words into 30 categories and you can learn over 3000 Spanish words this way. Synergy Spanish is divided into 5 sections.

Talking about yourself. Instead of memorising useless vocabulary like animals, he starts you out by having you talk about yourself.
Sentences starters and sentence builders use the knowledge you have from the 138 words he starts you off with.
You'll learn useful words and phrases related to travel so that when you go to a Spanish speaking country things won't get lost in translation.
Speaking to groups of people is next.
You will learn to communicate in any situation. By learning Spanish naturally you won't be stuck trying to conjugate verbs or translate from English to Spanish.

Marcus created this course based on his experience as an English teacher and Spanish student. He has made learning Spanish fun and easy so that you can start learning today. If you have any questions, you can even email him. Take a look at the course Marcus Santamaria created: Synergy Spanish.

5. Visas
Be aware that generally Latin American institutes do not get teachers visa. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, however, if working legally is important to you, be sure to ask your employer about visas. If they promise to get you a work visa, but tell you to enter on a tourist visa, be aware that they may not end up getting you a work visa at all. Primary and secondary schools, as well as universities seem more willing to get visas than language institutes.

If they can't, you could always work on a tourist visa. If you go that route, remember it is illegal, however, it can be done. You should find out about overstaying your visa and border hopping. Some countries, such as Mexico are easy to get visas for, others like Ecuador and Panama are difficult and you can run into trouble if you overstay your visa. Some countries like Peru and Costa Rica have many teachers that work under the table and just border hop.

You'll be taken through the steps of opening your own online teaching school and learn how you can teach English online while living anywhere in the world. You can even teach while on vacation.

5. Visas
Be aware that generally Latin American institutes do not get teachers visa. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, however, if working legally is important to you, be sure to ask your employer about visas. If they promise to get you a work visa, but tell you to enter on a tourist visa, be aware that they may not end up getting you a work visa at all. Primary and secondary schools, as well as universities seem more willing to get visas than language institutes.

If they can't, you could always work on a tourist visa. If you go that route, remember it is illegal, however, it can be done. You should find out about overstaying your visa and border hopping. Some countries, such as Mexico are easy to get visas for, others like Ecuador and Panama are difficult and you can run into trouble if you overstay your visa. Some countries like Peru and Costa Rica have many teachers that work under the table and just border hop.

6. Studying Spanish
There are many courses out there for learning Spanish. The best resource for learning languages out there is The Language Hacking Guide by Benny the Irish Polyglot, the owner of Fluent in 3 Months. If you haven't heard of this Irishman who speaks 8 languages, then go to his website and be prepared to be impressed.

Synergy Spanish maintains that traditional ways of learning languages don't work because it all boils down to grammar. By starting with 138 words, you'll begin to branch out and be speaking Spanish before you know it.

The best software out there for learning Spanish is Rocket Languages. It has surpassed Berlitz and Rosetta Stone and is becoming the way to learn Spanish.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is fun, easy, and fast. You'll learn the Spanish that you hear on the streets.

Warning Letter
Pereira: Private School, Maria Helena Garcia,
I got this email from someone who worked with this school. It is a summary of teachers who worked there. Not all schools are bad, but this is one that you might want to stay away from. You can contact the person who wrote this letter at toulavy@yahoo.ca
Sharon

Madre de Familia

"It took me nearly five years to find out the truth about the “bruja fax”. The name of Buitrago associates is not important. The person sent the fax firstly to Canadian Embassy in Bogota, then to Liceo Ingles. It looked like I sent it. Immediate investigation revealed that I could not possibly send it from that location at that time. Why would I send it to Canadian Embassy? Buitrago’s aim was to make me look insane just like she managed the same with another foreign teacher at Liceo Campestre" – kidnapped teacher Javier.

"I don’t know the complete truth of Buitrago’s creativities and her associate compliances. These Buitrago associates created crimes around your daughter as if I would do them even though Buitrago knew I am long time gone and gone a long way. DAS knew it as well. They got my ID card from me send by me from Canada within two weeks of my escape from Buitrago’s trap. That made Buitrago very angry, yet she did not know what I knew and took with me – the knowledge about her betrayals, FARC membership, orders to her teaching staff about treating foreigners in her school, and Carlos Eduardo Mejia Ospina drug charges against him by FBI. Buitrago used your daughter to target myself.

Your daughter knew Buitrago fumed my apartment via ventilation with poison from drug processing activities. For that reason your daughter never slept in my apartment. You were the last person to learn that your daughter betrayed her own parents with lies. You learnt it from her. I learned from Liceo Ingles how your daughter betrayed me and it hurts still today. Considering your daughter actions escaping stress, dealing with fear imposed onto her by Buitrago’s orders. Even though your daughter was protecting her family by lies and scarifying my personality and freedom to deception and humiliation, I did nothing from what you are accusing me of. I forgave your daughter. Only Buitrago knows the truth. The only part in your daughter’s life I am guilty of is taking your daughter in Prague to Nino Jesus de Praga, as she asked me to do so. There in that church I had no idea at that time what she kneeled to him for. What ever your daughter prayed to Nino Jesus de Praga in his church by Vltava river, it was heard of. Thanks to God." Jiri

On the other hand, Buitrago’s students from Liceo Campestre de Pereira are recorded outside Colombia as students trained by drug dealer from New York school yards Mr. Carlos Eduardo Mejia Ospina and that the school is directed by Ana Milena Buitrago – a person that can’t be trusted what so ever. Further on, Carlos’s wife Mary Luz which betrayed your daughter primarily, graduated in June 2009 from Universidad Technologica de Pereira from Social Science – an additional headache for the honest world. Carlos’s statements: “Don’t worry because nothing will be alright, At the end you will be the bad person, and Don’t lie about things you know shit” speak for them selves. His wife’s letter from March 2005 betrays as well.

His wife's letter:
“Hola Jiri!!!!! Espero que estés bien. Jira me da un poco de tristeza el saber que te llevaste tan mala imagen de mi pais, solo quiero que pienses que en Colombia no solo encontraste a Beatriz.
Como mujer y como colombiana s{e que habemos personas diferentes. Tu conociste personas muy valiosas que te brindaron una amistad desinteresada a pesar de tantos problemas: Claudia de arte, Javier, Luz Marina, Julian, Felipe, Carlos, yo…. Y no se cuantas personas más. Nosotros te apreciamos y queremos lo mejor para ti. Cuando pienses en Colombia, no lo hagas con rencor, piensa en nosotros, en los lugares tan bellos que conociste y en que a pesar de todo fue una experiencia más en tu vida.

Chao.
Te recuerda.
MARY LUZ O.

"It took medical professionals two years to detoxify my self from Buitrago’s premeditated actions. Considering my self exceptionally healthy person, it is called a miracle recovery."

Jiri
Reconnaissance Officer Commando Field Platoon (1984 retired).

"Buitrago, I told you, you picked the wrongs guy to mess up with. I told you, I am much stronger than you ever anticipated. The book stays open."

”...be careful in Colombia you have been sued by Betty.; Jirhi your former boss according to secretary from school, she has your name all over the police department like the worst person they ever met; Your boss told the police to find out which way you probably took to get out of the country if it is true that you went out, they believe you are still in Colombia because there is no record of departures on your name, I do not even think they can do that. A friend.”

1. General Information
Costa Rica attracts many English teachers due to its laidback lifestyle and natural beauty. Unraveling the Mysteries of Moving to Costa Rica contains heaps of information about making the move to Costa Rica. From budgeting, where to live, stories from other people, and lots more. With 250 pages you'll be sure to find everything you need to know about moving to Costa Rica.

You can find more information about teaching in Costa Rica, such as salaries and visas, in FAQ Costa Rica. If you're looking for general information about teaching in Latin America please read FAQ Teaching in Latin America.

2. Making the Move
Moving is stressful as it is, but moving to another country can be chaotic. Check out 30 Days to Move Abroad, which makes moving overseas a breeze. Teaching English is a great way to see the world, but before you go it helps to get information from people who have done it before. A good place to start is Teach English Abroad: The Complete Guide which has everything you need to know.

3. Getting Cheap Flights
Travelling the world and teaching English sounds like a dream come true until you have to purchase your airline ticket. Fly Cheap! Airfare Secrets Revealed! and Insider Secrets to Cheap Flights will show you tricks that will get you the cheapest ticket available.

4. Teaching Online

The Ultimate Teaching Position and How to Teach English Online and Get Money show you how you can do what you love while being your own boss. You'll be taken through the steps of opening your own online teaching school and learn how you can teach English online while living anywhere in the world. You can even teach while on vacation.

5. Visas
Be aware that generally Latin American institutes do not get teachers visa. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, however, if working legally is important to you, be sure to ask your employer about visas. If they promise to get you a work visa, but tell you to enter on a tourist visa, be aware that they may not end up getting you a work visa at all. Primary and secondary schools, as well as universities seem more willing to get visas than language institutes.

If they can't, you could always work on a tourist visa. If you go that route, remember it is illegal, however, it can be done. You should find out about overstaying your visa and border hopping. Some countries, such as Mexico are easy to get visas for, others like Ecuador and Panama are difficult and you can run into trouble if you overstay your visa. Some countries like Peru and Costa Rica have many teachers that work under the table and just border hop.

6. Studying Spanish
There are many courses out there for learning Spanish. The best resource for learning languages out there is The Language Hacking Guide by Benny the Irish Polyglot, the owner of Fluent in 3 Months. If you haven't heard of this Irishman who speaks 8 languages, then go to his website and be prepared to be impressed.

Synergy Spanish maintains that traditional ways of learning languages don't work because it all boils down to grammar. By starting with 138 words, you'll begin to branch out and be speaking Spanish before you know it.

The best software out there for learning Spanish is Rocket Languages. It has surpassed Berlitz and Rosetta Stone and is becoming the way to learn Spanish.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is fun, easy, and fast. You'll learn the Spanish that you hear on the streets.

7. Current Job Openings
If you're looking for current jobs, try these job search sites. If you're a licensed teacher, try getting a job at an international school. You can find more info in this article I wrote about international schools.

8. School Listings

5. Visas
Ecuador is cracking down on those who overstay their tourist visa, it's only 90 days, then you have to leave for 90 days. If you're offered a job in Ecuador, be sure to ask if you will be getting a legal visa (usually a work visa or cultural exchange visa). Also, make sure that you get this visa BEFORE you enter Ecuador, or else you run the risk of being illegal.

Be aware that generally Latin American institutes do not get teachers visa. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, however, if working legally is important to you, be sure to ask your employer about visas.

5. Visas

Be aware that generally Latin American institutes do not get teachers visa. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, however, if working legally is important to you, be sure to ask your employer about visas. If they promise to get you a work visa, but tell you to enter on a tourist visa, be aware that they may not end up getting you a work visa at all. Primary and secondary schools, as well as universities seem more willing to get visas than language institutes.

If they can't, you could always work on a tourist visa. If you go that route, remember it is illegal, however, it can be done. You should find out about overstaying your visa and border hopping. Some countries, such as Mexico are easy to get visas for, others like Ecuador and Panama are difficult and you can run into trouble if you overstay your visa. Some countries like Peru and Costa Rica have many teachers that work under the table and just border hop.

6. Studying Spanish
There are many courses out there for learning Spanish. The best resource for learning languages out there is The Language Hacking Guide by Benny the Irish Polyglot, the owner of Fluent in 3 Months. If you haven't heard of this Irishman who speaks 8 languages, then go to his website and be prepared to be impressed.

Synergy Spanish maintains that traditional ways of learning languages don't work because it all boils down to grammar. By starting with 138 words, you'll begin to branch out and be speaking Spanish before you know it.

The best software out there for learning Spanish is Rocket Languages. It has surpassed Berlitz and Rosetta Stone and is becoming the way to learn Spanish.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is fun, easy, and fast. You'll learn the Spanish that you hear on the streets.
