From Sports Illustrated:
Prostitutes in one of Brazil’s biggest cities are beginning to sign up for free English classes ahead of this year’s Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup.
Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in the city of Belo Horizonte, said Tuesday that 20 have already signed up for the courses and she expects at least 300 of the group’s 4,000 members to follow suit. The association is organizing the classes and seeking volunteer teachers.
…and the part that I found amusing:
“I don’t think we will have problems persuading English teachers to provide services for free,” she said. “We already have several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping us.”
How about that?! I guess you could say that English speaking soccer fans will be in good hands during the World Cup!
This is probably more for the English soccer fans (and the fans from other countries that happen to speak English in addition to their native language) than the American ones since Americans historically have not travelled in large numbers to world cup sites. You have to love prositiution rings.
