International English Learning – Please Help
Hey guys,
Add and I are looking to make this site as international as possible. As you probably can guess, it’s very difficult for us to find all the people who would benefit from our site. This is clearly an advanced English learning program, but many non native speakers search for lessons using their native language. I could use an “automatic Google translator” but automatic translators suck because you can’t trust them to translate words into how people really speak.
We’d like to try an experiment with 10 languages, but we need your kind help. We’re making some ads for Google in foreign languages. (Please don’t click on them if you see them because we have to pay for it! Lol 
So, the question is, if you were a person looking for a site exactly like ours, what would you type into Google (in your native language) What do you think many people would type in (In your language) Remember, we need only people who would have a high chance of liking the website and people who can already understand English well enough to read and use an all English website.
If you have a minute to help us, we’d be very grateful. Please tell us a few searches “in your actual language” and the basic translation in English. Thanks so much guys! (Please tell us the language too because many languages look so different and we don’t know which is which) Remember, these are the words you would guess people would type into a site like Google with the hope of finding our type of website. Stuff like “Advanced English Lessons” would be ok. Stuff like “Learn English” may be ok too. We also want terms that many people search. Thanks so much!
Here are the 10 starting languages we’d like your help with for search suggestions:
a) Russian
b) Korean
c) Japanese
d) Spanish
e) Portuguese
f) German
g) French
h) Italian
i) Polish
j) Thai
Thanks again and looking forward to reading your answers guys. You are the best!

Hi guys, here is the first comment of Farsi language. We usually type these words’ combination “advance English lessons free ” or “improving conversation” which is in Farsi like:
دروس آموزش زبان انگليسي رايگان
تقويت مكالمه
I don’t know if it’s what you are lookjng for or not. I hope it was helpful.
January 5th, 2013 at 8:03 am
Hi, guys! First of all you’re awesome!! I really enjoy your lessons, they help me a lot!
And I’d love to help you as much as I could))
It’s Russian:
Уроки разговорного английского means “spoken English lessons”
Бесплатные уроки английского means “free English lessons”
Скачать аудио уроки английского бесплатно means “download audio English lessons for free”
That’s what I would type to find your website)
Hope it was helpful))
January 5th, 2013 at 8:24 am
lezioni di inglese online / gratis / avanzato
online / free / advanced English lessons
That’s the most common google search in Italian as far as I can see
Hope it helps friendsfriends
January 5th, 2013 at 8:30 am
hi all, in Vietnamese i would type ” hoc tieng anh doi thuong” , in English it means something like” learn real life english”. Hope this helps.in Vietnam , with 100 million people use internet, tutoring English online is catching on very fast with young people but they often prefer free websites.( you could let other company advertise on your site to make profit instead of asking them to join the Vip section). just my guess.
January 5th, 2013 at 8:33 am
hi..china 232
you are really exciting about improving your works.
that’s great, everybody should love that kind of efforts .
i found actually your site with english key words several years ago.
i don’t remember which key words i used
our native people might try to serach GOOD ENGLISH SITE
with
1)영어학습
2)영어회화
3)원어민영어
4)원어민회화
etc..
but i believe most people try to find with english key words
if they could really enjoy and understand
some kind of high-level english-materials
like your talk-show-like english learning material
, which i want you keep that way.
thanks!! ////////////////sung

In Russian
1) уроки английского онлайн (english lessons online)
2) английский онлайн (english online)
3) разговорный английский онлайн (conversational english online)
4) английский для бизнесменов онлайн (business english online)
The keywords are “english online” (английский онлайн). Sometimes guys use “он лайн” or “он-лайн” instead of “онлайн” (“on line”, “on-line” instead of “online”).
Thanks.

Hi guys!
My native language is Spanish and I found you by iTunes. I was looking for podcast and I don’t remember very well but I think your podcast appeared as a recomendation in other podcast. Maybe it is a good idea asociate your webpage with other similar ones and by this way you can have more audience. Any way, some key word for learners like me could be:
“podcast para mejorar mi inglés” -> podcast for improving my english
“mejorar mi inglés hablado”-> improve my speaking english
“material de ayuda para preparar test internacionales” support material to prepare international tests.
“podcast entretenidos para aprender inglés (intermedio o avanzado)” entertaining material to learn (intermediate o advanced) english.
I wish it was helpful

Hi! I’m Polish and I think people here can search this kind of site using words and statements like: “teksty po angielsku” – text in english, “wymowa angielska” – english pronunciation, but I agree with Renata – majority searches sites by google using english words. If we use our native language we find mainly polish sites (polish schools of english, etc.) not native speaker’s. My english is poor but I found your excellent site. Thanks for what you do for us!

Audios en inglés
Good luck guys.

Hey, guys! I’m one of your listeners from Korea. I’m really happy and excited to get a chance to help you some ways!
For the last a couple of years, my country’s English approach is getting different, which means we’re getting know of the importance of speaking, not reading or grammar skill.
So I bet your business would go super well if it’s widely advertised in Korea.
Anyways, in my opinion, most of Koreans would type that kinds of words:
- 미드로 영어공부 (Studying with American Drama or Sitcom)
- 영어회화 (English Conversation)
- 일상영어회화 (Daily English Conversation)
- 미국식 영어발음 (American English Accent)
- 네이티브 발음 (Native Pronunciation)- (네이티브) 스피킹 ( (Native) Speaking )
These following four words is KEY WORDS!
-미드: American Drama or Sitcom
-영어: English
-네이티브: Native
-스피킹: Speaking
Thanks, Andy and Add!
Hope it could be a little help for you guys!
January 20th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Hiya AB!!
Smashing – keep this up,please!
In Russian i think of the word “Aнглийский” (English) and it would be the keyword to cover the whole thing when anyone is looking up for the great stuff like yours
I’ve lived in Spain for over 22 years so i tend to think the “Aprende Ingles” (Learn English) would pop up on top of the list.
Do you also teach how to play ice hockey in Asia?
Cheers & Take care!!
January 25th, 2013 at 6:14 pm
Hey guy,

Английский легко (English easily)
Английский в совершенстве (Fluent(Perfect) English)
Лучшие уроки английского языка(в мире) (The best English lessons(in the world))
Разговорный английский (Conversational English)
Лучший сайт для изучения английского языка (The best site for English learning)
Как выучить английский? (How to learn English)
Английский от носителей языка (English from native speakers)
P.S. I guess it’s just a human nature… people want only the best- the best lessons, the best life… =)
