Prostitutes in Brazil have signed up for Free English lessons in order to get a good grip on the language so that they can welcome the British World Cup fans 'properly' during the tournament next month.
More than 300 Brazilian hookers have reportedly been attending government-funded classes to learn key phrases in English as they prepare for the big kick-off on June 12.
According to the Daily Star, Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in Belo Horizonte, where England play Costa Rica on June 24, said that it is vital that the hookers know the language as the sex trade is legal in Brazil and the business is expected to boom during the month-long tournament.
Vieira said that it would be important for the girls who will be able to use English to let their clients know what they are charging and learn about what turns them on, as they want to give the England fans a proper welcome and provide them with a value-for-money service.
The Brazilian hookers will reportedly mingle with England fans in the street as they test out their newly acquired language skills in order to look for business and they are also planning to hang around bars to pick up tourists and dance with prospective clients.
