Before I was 20 years old I didn't know any Spanish, I bombed my 1 year of French in high school and thought I’d never be able to learn a second language. When I was 20 I took a 2-month crash course in Spanish and went to Mexico for two years where I continued to self-teach and mastered the Spanish language. Now, I’ve been speaking Spanish since 2002. I’m a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. I translated a couple hundred-page book from Spanish to English for a Venezuelan author. I was the interpreter for a couple of landscape companies in Las Vegas and ran a business of my own in Spanish being that my employees were Spanish speakers. Over the years I've had many requests asking me if I can teach others Spanish like I speak it. From these requests Spanish Made Simple was born. I've taken the concepts of how I learned and mastered Spanish and have simplified them so that those who take my courses will become conversational and fluent in Spanish in a simple step-by-step fashion and much faster.
