GCN Announces Language School Partnership

March 4, 2002 - East Greenwich, RI : Global Communications Network (GCN), an Internet communications program, has announced a partnership with International Connection YP (ICYP), an on-line lingual school. ICYP operates www.lingualroom.com and offers both private and group language tutoring.

Jason Resch, the 18 year old owner/operator of GCN said he is pleased that ICYP has chosen GCN as a partner. "I am happy to have ICYP as a partner in on-line education", said Resch. "features allow distant learning schools (like ICYP) to provide on-classes anywhere in the world." GCN is a full featured on-line communications client offering voice/text chat, video conferencing, instant messaging, e-mail, language translator and much more.

ICYP is owned and operated by Page Trygstad, 50, and Yoko Harada, 43, the president of the company. The Lingual Room was established to give students a unique opportunity to learn communication skills from live instructors from around the world.

"I was born in the countryside in Japan," said Yoko Harada. "I never had the chance to meet any native English speakers in my home town. How could I talk with native English speakers? After I came to America, I learned how important it was to improve English listening and speaking skills, that we have chance to speak and listen with natives." Yoko worked for 15 years in the TV and movie industry and studied child development and graduated from Santa Monica College.        

"We looked at several other network programs like CUSEEME, Paltalk, MS Netmeeting and others. GCN worked the best for us and with the help from the programmer, (GCN) was the most flexible", said Page Trygstad. "Our education program is 100% on-line, so having great software is essential." Page attended Western Michigan University and American College.

ICYP was launched in May of 2001 after two years of development and has a network of native speaking English tutors from around the world, which allows 24/7 on-line education. Japan is the primary market. ICYP offers study halls for beginners, advanced, academic and business jargon.
