We started a new Business Roatan Language School!

As my frequent readers know Cindy and I have been studying Spanish. It was going pretty well for a while then we had some problems.

My teacher Laura stood me up a few times and did not show up and kinda had a bad attitude. Cindys teacher Sogquey was always great and although she fell ill and had to go to the mainland for some medical treatment she was always reliable and even kept in touch when she went over to the mainland.

When Sogquey got back we started talking to her about our frustrations with Laura and how the Spanish school they worked for was tough to deal with on long term learning packages and books etc.

Sogquey agreed and then we learned that she had frustrations too. Her pay was minimal at best and she got no bonus or incentive to teach more students (no commission). I was shocked at this because Cindy and I had sent her so many students and she got to work a lot more but made the same measly wage.

I was sharing all of these problems with Jeff Kuken a local realtor and the proprietor of Casa Calico hotel. He knew some of the details as the Spanish school had been using his hotel as a teaching center and sending him a few students too.

The next thing you know Jeff says lets do our own school. I said this is crazy neither one of us even speak Spanish to any extent. But after a few more minutes I thought this makes sense. I can set up a company with Jeff. I will recruit Sogquey get the web site going (www.roatanlanguageschool.com ) and set up some marketing. Jeff will pull together a new classroom environment hire an office girl and has all the local connections we need to get refrerral business here in Roatan. Jeff and I also agreed we had a large market of local islanders that would like to better there abilities to serve the tourist market with more English skills so we are offering English as a 2nd language classes too.

So since the inception of this idea in July till now we have gotten everything done and Tomorrow (Saturday August 12th) we start business. Sogquey and Melody our staff are very excited as they have 25% stake in the profits and better wages than before. Jeff is happy to have a reliable service to offer visitors to Roatan and a new language stay and learn package for his hotel. Cindy and I are happy to help Sogquey and are looking forward to taking lessons from a new and professional school (which we own part of).

Needless to say its pretty exciting times and when you come down to visit we look forward to you spening a few hours brushing up or learning Spanish.
