I'm Andres Moreno, founder and CEO of OpenEnglish.com. Growing up I lived in 8 different countries, from Slovenia to Chile, and I'm currently working to roll-out our online English school in over a dozen emerging markets. The following is an account of the people, experiences and ideas that spark along the way.

Andres:
As CEO of open english, I thought it nessassary to ask you to consider creating a similar idea for those that don't speak spanish. There are so many people that are relocating to Central America,the Carribbean and South America from North America and want to be able to speak spanish. I know that each country has it's own dialect and different words for the same meaning that would be in English so it would be a challenge. Just as starting your service was a big challenge why would you want to accept a larger challenge. With your experience I am sure you can manage it. You would be again the first in the internet industry to successfully meet the needs of all those people that want to learn. As to the situation for the different country you could employee from general spanish lesson and expand then to the specific countries people want to go to, for example : basic spanish and the concentrate to (say) Dominican Republic. One word in Puerto Rico means one thing but that same word in the Dominican Republic would mean just the opposite. Example ahorita.
