3 years, 3 months ago about English as a Second Language

Is there a demand in the USA for online English as foreign language classes?

There is great demand for these in Europe and Asia. . Is it worth us marketing in the US?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Depending on the area you are focusing on, there is a large market for ESL (English as Second Language) courses in the United States. Throughout the American Southwest and southern Florida, there are a great number of native Spanish speakers and second generation Americans who only hear Spanish at home yet need to know English outside of the home.

Also, in every major city, there are large communities of people who speak something other than English primarily, be it Portuguese in Boston or Arabic in Detroit or Polish in Chicago.

So, if you're intending to market in the U.S., it could indeed be worthwhile, provided you focus on major metropolitan areas, particularly those in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Also, if teaching it in the United States, be sure to teach American English, as British English may not be as useful.

I personally think the key to learning any language is immersion. If you live overseas and are trying to learn English, the online community may be the only option you have to be surrounded by the language. However, in the US, it is very easy to find people who speak some sort of English. Thus, I would think people would be better off going to a community college or community center to take English classes.
