The Original Spoken English Learned Quickly Team
Lynn Lundquist
developed both Spoken English Learned Quickly and the Feedback Training language learning method. This new method allows a
student to learn fluent spoken English in half the time required using traditional English instruction. Just three years after it was introduced on www.freeenglishnow.com, Spoken English Learned Quickly became the world’s most widely distributed spoken English language course.
Lynn has an undergraduate degree in both Anthropology and Education, and a Master’s degree in Education. Following graduation, he studied French in Paris, France for a year where he first became acquainted with spoken language instruction. He then lived in an African country for nine years where he developed his own language course because little was available in the local schools. During the time he was learning his second language, he developed many of the methods he describes in his book, Speak English…Learn Conversational English Quickly (The book was previously entitled Learning Spoken English.)The book is posted on this website and is also available as an ebook under the same title.
Lynn has done extensive work in innovation. He owns 23 patents covering electric motors, tool and die components, manufacturing plant processes, plastic recycling machinery, unloading ore from ships and electrical test instruments. He is a veteran troubleshooter and licensed plant supervising electrician. He worked in manufacturing plant maintenance for 23 years. He has designed and built robotic equipment, He has written nineteen books in language learning methods, theology, textual criticism, electrical trade instruction and apologetics.
