New Website Offers English Students Help and Hope.

SaoPauloEnglish.com helps visitors find the best websites and resources on the Internet for learning and teaching Engish. Among other things, English students can listen to and read the Bible in English and download a free e-book, "Learning English on the Internet - A Guide for Students and Teachers of ESL."

Sao Paulo, Brazil (PRWEB) May 11, 2004 ---As the worldwide demand for English continues to grow, it is estimated that 4 million people study English in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil just to keep up. A Canadian, Eric Haaranen has created a new website, SaoPauloEnglish.com http://www.saopauloenglish.com to help these people find alternative ways to improve their English.

The website matches students with English products and services based on each students specific needs.

According to Haaranen, Everybody learns differently so we have tried to offer as many different learning options as possible. If a student is more comfortable learning at a computer, they can do that. But if they want to socialize with other English speakers, we offer that option as well."

The website certainly does offer many different options for students and many of them are unique to the English as a Second Language (E.S.L.) market. On the site you can listen to English audio, take a test or find a teacher, a translator, even an English personal trainer. The two things that really stand out, however, are free products that the site offers. At SaoPauloEnglish.com, you can read and listen to the Bible in English and you can download a free e-book titled, Learning English on the Internet -- A Guide for Students and Teachers of English as a Second Language."

When asked to comment about the free help, Haaranen commented, Business has a responsibility to give back to society. Listening to the bible not only helps students improve their English comprehension but it may also offer some hope or guidance at a time when many people are questioning their faith. The e-book puts all the best English help on the Internet in one place so that students dont have to waste their time trying to determine the good sites from the bad. It is something that should have been written years ago. Both are essential products that we wouldnt feel comfortable charging students to use."

Mr. Haaranen has a background in business and technology in Canada and the United States and has been planning to launch this site since late 2002 after he saw the demand for English in Sao Paulo. With over 1000 English schools and who knows how many English teachers operating in the city, it is a very confusing market. We hope that by finding the best services and putting this information in one place, we can help students become aware of all their options and help them find the best way to learn."

SaoPauloEnglish.com is unique in the very competitive E.S.L. market in that it doesnt view anyone as competition. As Haaranen suggests, Our site is simply a matching service. If someone offers a good product or service that can genuinely help students learn English, we want our visitors to know about it and we will be happy to add it to our site."
