Charles Duff

For the cricketer, see Charles Duff (cricketer).

Charles Duff (1894–1966) was an English author of books on language learning and other subjects.

Duff served as an officer in the British Merchant Navy in World War I and then in the intelligence division of the Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service. He resigned from the Foreign Office in the 1930s, claiming it was solidly supportive of fascism in Spain and ready to back a similar system in Britain.[1]

After he retired, Duff taught linguistics and languages in London and Singapore while writing travel guides, histories, satires, and a series of text books for the active self-learner [2]
