Hi Sergey,
I think this is an EXCELLENT idea.
I live in a country (Sweden) where people are pretty good at understanding english, but even so, often have problems as networkers because it is difficult to understand all the details in English. It is often no problem to read simple text or enroll people. The problems start when you have to contact support, use your credit card, need to write a good ad, understand product content, customs/tax regulations, spam rules, even post in forums etc.
I have been on the Internet for 5 years.
My experience is that many people from "non english speaking" Countries leave the business after quite a short time due to language problems. I have spent many hours helping people resolve quite simple, but for them devastating problems. This slows down and even stops many good business opportunities.
To put it bluntly people are "frightened" So we need to help them, Becoming really International is the only way to help others, outside our own sphere of thinking. We cannot just count on ourselves,(with that I mean the small click of "good english speaking" networkers, we need to help everyone, NOW, not tomorrow or next year, but open up for the World, RIGHT NOW.
I look at forums every day and note that there is a lot of "talk" going on, but the majority of us are on the Internet to do business with the World, so let us help the WORLD do business with us.
Everyone involved in selling on the net has heard that it is all in "The list" yes, that´s right, but take a look at your list and see how many "non" or "little english" speaking people you have on your list. You might think that some of your friends are foreigners, because of their foreign sounding names, but more often than not the address is USA or Canada.
Everytime you ccommunicate with someone from another Country put in Sergeys link,
you may not want to be in the network, but someones life could be changed, think about that, please!
Sergey, I sign up for a Spanish Course.I will introduce your program to everyone I come across. When we understand how to communicate with one another around the World we will also solve the problems of the World.
By the way, when I moved to Sweden in 1962 there were no Swedish courses for foreigners
like there are today, so I learned to speak Swedish by communicating with a spanish ticket collector on the local train. Neither of us could say much in each others language so we learned to communicate in Swedish, that helped us both! You see, we were both married to Swedes, and made the choice to move to our loved ones in this cold Country.
Learning a language is rather like networking, it goes very slowly at first until you suddenly find yourself communicating and then you learn faster and faster, its getting started and daring to try that is the turning point.
Let me know if I can help you in any other way.
Thank you once again,
The World needs leaders and you are one.
