Here’s a chance to learn Spanish by speaking one-on-one with tutors in Guatemala – without even leaving your living room. Speak Shop enables students around the world to take personalized Spanish lessons on their computer via videoconferencing, allowing for instant audio and visual
feedback. At $5 to $6 per session, Speak Shop is cheaper than standard private lessons, and your participation helps fight poverty in Latin America: Speak Shop pays its online instructors higher wages than schoolteachers earn in Guatemala. Plans for offering other languages are in the works. Sign up for lessons at www.speakshop.com.
