Just analyzed the top markets for Effortless English for 2009. The results:
1. Immigrants in USA, Canada, UK, and Australia
2. Brazil
3. Japan & Korea
4. Italy & France
As an “honorable mention”, I also noticed that Turkey is growing quickly as more and more Turks join Effortless English.
As I’ve mentioned before, the above countries get first priority for my visits and my Workshops and Seminars (Thailand is not on the list, but you get a special pass because I enjoy being here so much!!!
I’ll be visiting Japan and Korea this year.
So, looking at the list,.. I think that Brazil really needs to be the next country I strongly consider visiting. I can’t speak any Portuguese and will need Hosts and Sponsors… but after I get back to SF in May, I’ll begin planning a visit to Brazil and looking for hosts and sponsors (possible a visit near the last part of 2010)
And that, at the moment, completes my travel plans for 2010!
Happy New Year!!
(If you want me to visit your country, encourage more people who live there to become members!!!
Happy 2010– I look forward to meeting more of you in person!!

[...] 2010年1月5日,AJ助理來信,她很高興我們打理好一切,也回報AJ,並表示AJ還在安排他的行程表,一確定就會馬上回應我。但是,敏感如湯泥卻也嗅出一絲的不確定性,東風可能會轉向。按照AJ最早的邀請函,他五月是安排給台灣的,我並沒有花太多時間就搞定所有來台事宜,應該是可以馬上確認才是。況且,AJ在部落格的文章也似乎預告台灣行的破局 [...]
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:51 am
A.J. it will be a pleasure having you in Sâo Paulo, Brazil. I´d like to be your host, but I couldn´t be your sponsor, cause I´m not rich person, so sorry about that. But I´ll try to find out a sponsor for you.
I thank the Universe for you there and also to have found you to teach me English.
I wish all the best.

You’re totally right about Turkey.İn Turkey English learning materials are terrible and your way is the best in the learning ways i’ve ever seen or tried.I recommend your lessons to my friends and talk about the learning with listening and i hope you’ll visit Turkey too because Turks love you and your learning materails,ways and lessons.I hope we’ll see you in Turkey when you notice more Turks join your class everyday.
