Brazilian prostitutes learn English ahead of World Cup
11:05am Jan 9, 2013
Prostitutes in Brazil are reportedly studying English in the lead up to the 2014 World Cup so they can discuss charges and fetishes with tourists who use their services.
Cida Vieira, the president of the Association of Prostitutes in Belo Horizonte, said 20 prostitutes had signed up for the association's free English classes so far but at least 300 more were expected to join.
"It will be important for the girls who will be able to use English to let their clients know what they are charging and learn what turns them on," Ms Vieira said.
"[They'll also need to] use a specialised vocabulary with sensual words and fetishes."
Ms Vieira said the association was also considering offering free French and Italian classes.
"Across Brazil, lots of businesses in the private sector are getting prepared and making their workers more qualified for the Cup," she said.
"Well, this is a profession too."

The classes are expected to start in March and last six to eight months.
In addition to the 2014 Cup, Belo Horizonte will host the Confederations Cup in June this year.
