Audio Visual Voice Lessons

Marty, this is absolutely the greatest thing since sliced bread.

It's like having private lessons - maybe better. The ability to hear you think out loud - explaining every conceivable play / bid covers all skill levels.

And, as I told Howard, the software covers every possible need of the student - go back, skip ahead, and then the best of all to actually play the hand as you recommended to lock in the lesson learned.

I'm frankly speechless.
You two have a winner here !
And, will make any dedicated student a winner as well.  -- Jill D.

Marty now delivers his lessons in an interesting new audio visual format.   These lessons are available at a time convenient to you, rather than on a fixed schedule.  We are very excited about this format, and students have found that it makes the lessons even more interesting and useful.
 

Using your web browser, you can hear an oral lesson while simultaneously viewing the cards.

Use the following link to order the lesson:
http://www.bridgesights.com/hondobridge/audiolessons/mbaudiolessons.php

You can also use this link to view a free demonstration lesson.

Our audio visual format significantly enhances your learning experience:

The combination of voice and visual effects makes it easier to
understand what Marty is teaching.
The lesson is interactive, so students "learn by doing."
You can proceed at your own pace.
You can play and replay all or some of the lesson whenever you choose as many times as you like.
The lesson includes a written transcript for you to study.
The lesson contains more material than Marty's previous online lessons.
The lesson is designed to work on most popular computers and browsers, including Windows, Mac, and iPad.

The price for the lesson is $25.

You also have the option of ordering just the transcript for $20.
(Because this option includes only the transcript and no voice or
interactive features, we don't recommend this.)

Here is a link to a detailed explanation of how the lessons work.

Online Group Lessons -  These are 100-minute lessons on a single topic.  If you missed the previous online lessons, you can still get the transcript, FAQ, and Bergenisms guidelines for each topic for $20 per lesson:
