David E Stevens III has been learning and teaching new languages since 2001. 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, Inglés Fácil 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! So he literally wrote the book on five easy steps to learn Spanish to help others who’ve tried—and failed to learn another language. However, with his method, success is attainable for anyone. David lives in Denver, Colorado with his young son and their Maltipoo Carebear. 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.
