Lynn Lundquist is the developer of the Spoken English Learned Quickly series. He has an undergraduate degree in education with an anthropology major and a master's degree in education. After his post-graduate work, he completed an introductory course at the Toronto Institute of Linguistics followed by a year in France for language study. Following a short stay at the Sorbonne in Paris, he had the great fortune of finding a private school that taught French as a spoken language. Then came nine years in an African country in which only scanty language instruction was available, forcing the development of his own language program. Spoken English Learned Quickly uses techniques he developed for his personal language study combined with his understanding of English as his native language. The valuable lessons learned overseas, however, were not merely the methods of language instruction. While living as an outsider in another culture, he experienced the isolation and demeaning existence of an adult incapable of speaking with others. Lundquist understands the frustration facing the immigrant community in the United States when they must struggle with communication on every level of life.
Lundquist has done extensive work in writing, publication and innovative development. He has written 13 books including two books in the Spoken English Learned Quickly series, three technical books for training journeyman electricians, and a number of books dealing with Greek manuscript research (textual criticism). In addition, he holds 24 issued U.S. patents dealing primarily with industrial equipment and processes.
Steve Hazzard is the "voice" for the audio portion of Spoken English Learned Quickly. He has worked in a voluntary capacity as a sound technician for 20 years. This includes mixing live sound as well as recording. His recording projects have primarily involved music, though they have also included voice recordings with a professional voice coach. Steve maintains his own, well equipped sound studio.
We appreciate the hours of work Steve put into this project to make it what it is.
