Mark Barnes
Founder and Instructor
Before the age of 20, I didn't know any Spanish. In fact, I barely survived a year of French in high school and thought learning a second language was impossible for me. That changed when I took a two-month crash course in Spanish and spent a couple years in Mexico, where I continued to teach myself and ultimately mastered the language. Since 2002, I’ve been speaking Spanish fluently. I’m a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese and have had the privilege of translating a multi-hundred-page book for a Latin American author. My language skills have also allowed me to work as an interpreter for landscaping companies in Las Vegas and successfully run my own business, where I managed Spanish-speaking employees. Over the years, I’ve received countless requests to teach others how to speak Spanish like I do. From these requests, Spanish Made Simple was born. I’ve taken the same methods and concepts I used to master Spanish and simplified them into a step-by-step system that helps others become conversational—and eventually fluent—faster and more effectively.

"This course has been wonderful. I purchased it for myself and two kids (10 & 12). We all appreciate the ease of use along with Mark's focus on the importance of pronunciation. This is a great course and we are really enjoying it."

"I have learned Spanish through Rosetta Stone, but this course definitely gives you the more authentic Spanish that is spoken by natives. I highly recommend this course for anyone who knows Spanish and wants to take their speaking to the next level."

"Very clear explanations. I am fluent in Spanish, lived in Central America for 10 years, and it is wonderful to finally get explanations of the things I knew were weird but didn’t know why. Super helpful!"

"Nice learning pace, really clear explanations (I finally understand the logic of some things I knew from before but had no idea why they are formulated a certain way), and also very interesting to note the differences between the Spanish of Spain, and that of the Americas."
