About the author
DAVID BURKE is a Los Angeles-based language expert and author of more than 100 books on slang and idioms in multiple languages, published under his imprint Slangman Publishing, which he founded in 1986.
Burke’s materials are used as curriculum by Berlitz International, UCLA, Harvard University, and NYU. In 1999, he became known as "Slangman" through a six-year segment on Voice of America, reaching over 250 million listeners in 120 countries.
When not writing, Burke works as a public speaker on language and has drawn on his background giving tours at Universal Studios in Hollywood in English, French, Italian, and sign language, an experience that shaped his focus on accessible language learning for teens, adults, and children.
David lives in Los Angeles.
