121Spanish Newsletter, August 2010
New Teachers, New Calendar, New Name
Hola,
We have many changes to inform you about, so keep reading.
Name change: We have officially changed our name from 121speech to 121Spanish. This is primarily to help with our quest to become #1 on Google for Spanish search terms. And to better reflect the nature of our business.
New calendar: Within the next week we should finally be rolling out the new calendar. All your information and credits will be transferred to the new calendar and we hope for a seam less transition. The calendar will be much simpler, quicker to use than the current one, with it displaying in your local time so no need to calculate time zones. A link will be sent out once the transition is completed in the coming days.
New teachers: We have employed additional teachers to cope with demand, providing you with a variety of experience and accents from across Latin America. Currently we have teachers from Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay and Argentina to give you a great selection!

After working as a psychologist in her native country, she moved to Florida where she worked as a Spanish teacher for some well known large companies. She loves teaching and is passionate about yoga.

Please welcome our new teachers and don’t be afraid to mix & match classes with teachers, as they are all great tutor’s. We spent the last month selecting these teachers from dozens of candidates, so you get the most talented and sociable tutoring.
Cameras: All of our teachers are equipped with Logitech 9000 webcams to bring you the best quality video conferencing possible. B&H photo is the cheapest place we have found to purchase them, if you are looking for a good camera.
Group classes: Currently we are experimenting with group Spanish classes with a maximum of 5 people. This will give you the chance to interact with others learners at a similar level. While we have not confirmed a price it will probably be around $7-8.00. Testing has been going well, so contact us if you would like more information on this. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. We are working hard on new products and services, providing you quality Spanish classes at a reasonable price.
