Since then he has helped thousands of people learn how to speak languages, especially English and Spanish, and has done a lot of spectacular work in Colorado to bridge the gap between these two communities by breaking down the cultural and language barriers that exist.As Director of The Language School, Denver's top rated school to learn how to speak both Spanish and English, he has developed a fun, practical, and powerful way to learn how to speak a new language through his "Let's Start Talking" approach to learning, which focuses first and foremost on conversation and getting people to talk.His series of textbooks, including Let's Start Talking, Ingl矇s F獺cil Y Divertido, and English Easy and Fun are being used all across the country and have been well received by students and teachers alike! David has a mission: he believes that learning Spanish shouldn't be complicated, difficult, or stressful. He feels that learning a new language should be fun, easy, and entertaining!

When he's not teaching or writing, he is being a fantastic father, dancing salsa, riding mountain bikes, practicing his green thumb, trying new recipes, and keeping fit. With a goal of changing the way language is taught in the US by steering away from the traditional grammar-based approach to a conversational one instead, he's dedicated to his cause. After all, communication is important, and speaking more languages ultimately means more effective communication.

The audio program provides clear models (both male and female) to help coach a standard American accent.

Correct lip and tongue positions for all sounds are discussed in detail. Beyond the production of sounds, the program provides detailed instruction in prosodic elements such as syllable stress, emphasis, intonation, linking words for smoother speech flow, common word contractions, and much more. Additional topics that often confuse ESL students are also discussed and explained. They include distinguishing between casual and formal speech, homophones (e.g., they're and there), recognizing words with silent letters (e.g., comb, receipt), and avoiding embarrassing pronunciation mistakes, such as mixing up "pull" and "pool." Students are familiarized with many irregular English spelling rules and exceptions, and are shown how such irregularities can contribute to pronunciation errors.
