I am writing this on a train in Belgium, as we speed through the countryside towards the French speaking capital of Brussels....Bruxelles...Bruselas...

At exceltra we have been as busy as a fight in pub. So there is a whole bunch of new stuff for the language learner, who is interested in EXCELERATED LANGUAGE LEARNING.... ('excelerated' = 'accelerated excellent').

We've put together 7 Demo videos (see below), finished the Spanish Grammar course 'Understanding SER and ESTAR in Spanish' - two of the trickiest verbs in Spanish that leave learners bedazzled, and now we have available for you the comprehensive courses made by the US State Department's FOREIGN SERVICE INSTITUTE - FSI. These courses are used to train diplomats, FBI personnel, DEA personnel etc.

With all these releases we've decided to run some sp*ecials, enabling you to get your hands on these language boosters at super-duper prices.

Like I will throw in the Foreign Service Institute FSI courses for nothing (gratis, zippo, zilch, nada, nichts, nul) with these offers. Elsewhere on the internet these courses sell for up to between $250 to $300+ each. I am throwing them in, at no cost with my limited time of-fers of SUPER BUNDLES that are the best I have made.

3. Spanish Grammar Course - UNDERSTANDING SER and ESTAR in SPANISH
--------------------------------------

We've slaved a long time over this one, and now it is ready.

UNDERSTANDING SER and ESTAR in SPANISH is a thorough course for the Spanish learner that looks thoroughly at two of the trickiest words in Spanish, SER and ESTAR.

These two words CAN give the Spanish learner no end of trouble - if they not been properly taught the correct concepts in the first place!!

Even people who have been studying, speaking and using Spanish for years have difficulty coming to grips with these two common verbs. For example, I asked a lady who had recently completed her degree in Spanish to review, edit and correct the draft of this course.

Her reply was, " Oh, SER and ESTAR in Spanish!I could never understand them!"

WOW!

However the basic concepts are fairly straightforward, provided they are taught correctly in the first place... BUT most people are not taught this correctly. If you have been taught that SER is used for permanent characteristics, and ESTAR for temporary..... look out!! This course will show you why you were going wrong!

Do our course, and you will conquer the fundamentals from the start. Plus learn hundreds of sentences too! And practise hundreds of verb conjugations of these highly important verbs.

Another Spanish Grammar course, in the same vein as our course 'UNDERSTANDING POR and PARA' in Spanish.

4. Foreign Service Institute Courses - Spanish, French and German
--------------------------------------


The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) has been responsible for teaching foreigh languages to US diplomats, US Foreign Service, FBI agents and workers, DEA Drug Enforcement agents and workers for decades. As far as 'traditional language learning' goes they are possibly without peer. Tens of thousands of US diplomats have been taught using FSI materials.

Until recently their courses have been available but very expensive. Companies like Barrons have been selling them for over $250 each ($800-$1000 for the sets of 4 courses). FSI Spanish and FSI French, and $500+ for the 2 FSI courses of German.

Their courses are detailed, in-depth and thorough. They come PDF files and mp3 recordings.

We now have the FSI courses, for Spanish, French and German available, at scorchingly ch-e-ap prices.

BUT . . . I have a devised a way to you these courses at a fraction of that cost (like 80 PERCENT OFF) and for a 7 day period at NO COST - if you buy our other courses.

I have put some attractive bundles together for the launch of these products.

That is right - to launch the products there are some BUNDLES of SOFTWARE that will enable you to get the FSI courses at zero dollars. Which is as cheap as it gets!

If you have been hanging out for a discount on our 200 Words a Day course - there is a 7 day window to get one now.

Click here for FOREIGN SERVICE INSTITUTE SPANISH Course 1 Volume #1 - now available at $47 (elsewhere on the web for $250-$300).
