Jon Karlen is Learning How to Samba

DateThursday, June 14, 2012 at 11:35PM

I'm happy to report that Jon Karlen, Open English board member and partner at Flybridge Capital Partners, recently moved to Sao Paulo with his family for three months to deep-dive into the local start-up ecosystem. Together with the move, he started blogging about his experiences as an American venture capitalist in Brazil. It was fun for me to read his first post and see how Open English influenced his view on Latin America's potential. Looking forward to following his adventures!

    They should be given the care and love lectures. They are just dipped in the technological world. They should be out of the feeling of the most superior. They should know through their school that parents are more important than the social media friends.

Hola andes, soy valeria estudiante de OE, estoy contenta con el curso estoy mejorando mucho el que tenia de base, tu plataforma es buena aunque carece de algunas mejoras que a muchos nos gustarian, y tengo confianza que seguiras renovando la plataforma', el motivo de este comentario es para solicitarte un permiso si me pequeña entrevista ya que soy estudiante de periodismo y locutora, me gustaria hacer un trabajo de periodiamo investigativo sobre open english tanto comentarios tuyos, como comentarios de los alumnos mi correo es valeria2093@gmail.com

Y de paso decirte que te felicito por levantar esta maravillosa empresa, pero que tambien sean serios con las miles de quejas de abusos en los pagos de personas que no desean estar por algun motivo mas en el curso, darle la posibilidad al cliente que se retire y no hacerle la publicidad engañosa, por que las personas luchan por su dinero no para que sean estafados, se serio con la gente para que ya no haigan mas comentarios negativos sobre open english. Escuchanos a nosotros tus clientes y estudiantes de OE dar lo q necesita y pide el cliente seria exelente para que OE sea mejor de lo ya es, toma esta sugerencia de una estudiante orgullosa de OE
