His materials on slang and idioms are currently used as course curriculum by Berlitz International, UCLA, Harvard University, NYU and Hewlett Packard, and even by the writers of The Simpsons to give Bart his coolness.

In 1986, David founded Slangman Publishing which specializes in materials that teach children foreign languages, as well as products tea.
