The Team
Discover Spanish was founded by a team of language experts, designers, teachers,
voice talent, writers, animators and software engineers with the goal of making an
online software program that was unlike any other program -- delivering results quickly
and easily. To do this, the team created a learning system that engages learners from
the first lesson and keeps them coming back for more lessons! The learning system
makes learning Spanish much easier than ever imagined.
The Founder
After a career in the educational software industry working on some of the most successful educational titles ever developed -- Oregon Trail, Reader Rabbit, The Super Solvers Series, and Learn to Speak (Spanish, English, French, German, and Italian) to name a few, John decided to share his love of the Spanish language and the Latin people by creating a program for everyone who wants to learn Spanish in a fun and easy way. He and several of his former colleagues from The Learning Company developed Discover Spanish, the award-winning language learning system used by families and students of all ages in all 50 states and many foreign countries.
