Huffington Post reports, Brazilian prostitues are learning English to prepare for major soccer events. Prostitutes in one of Brazil's biggest cities, Sao Paulo, are beginning to sign up for free English classes ahead of this year's Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup.
Prostitution is legal in Brazil.
Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in the city of Belo Horizonte, says that its important for the women to learn English, they need to know what turns their clients on and to let their clients know how much they charge.
The association is currently looking for volunteers to teach these classes. They wont have any problem with that. Vieira has already stated that there are already several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping them. They are now thinking about adding free French and Italian classes as well.
I say more power to them. If they are going to sign up for an 8 month course to learn a different language so they can be better at their jobs, good for them. That is dedication to the job if you ask me. They are furthering their education, and expanding their language abilities.
In the US it will be a big deal because it prostitutes but who cares? The only reason the story wont be all over the news is because the women are preparing for soccer events. In the US soccer is not a main priority, they'd rather suffocate us with basketball. I think its great that they are volunteering to learn English. Good for them. I applaud the effort.
Now any English speaking person that decides to go to Brazil for the Confederations Cup or the World cup (or both) wont have to ask a translator or use a translator to get some nookie while they are there. Cross your fingers, French and Italian speakers might get the same pleasure!
