The TongueTry Project - Guatemala!

Donation protected
1. Thank you so much for supporting us - seriously life changing!!  

2. If you have ever thought, "I wish I could change the world, at least one person's world", but haven't a clue how to begin ...  we got you!

Literally every penny is making an impact.  Once we are funded and able to properly launch, your pennies won't just affect Blanca and Lourdes, but potentially hundreds if not thousands of women! That's right - because of you!

Now that those deets are out of the way, please let us tell you a little bit about our company. Here at TongueTry.com  our motto is: 

"Learn a Language, Change  a Life"

It's so much more than a catchy tagline.

It represents our aspiration to daily change the lives of impoverished women in developing nations who have minimal opportunities to advance while providing the absolute best way to acquire a new language.  This is not charity. 

Instead of giving hand-outs, we give hand-ups.  We aim to empower these women, who already are successful teachers, by linking them with students eager to learn another language via the Internet.  It’s really simple:  a student in the U.S. gets tutored online, live by a trained native speaker, and in turn, that student functionally changes the tutor's life.  Please visit our website to understand how we impact beyond paying a strong living wage. 

Did you know that for every dollar earned by a woman in a developing nation, it goes 4 times further than that dollar earned by a man?  Why?  Because men in these societies often spend it on vices such as alcohol and prostitution, whereas women spend it on their children, family, and communities. 

We have been working at developing TongueTry since June 2016, and I am thrilled to report that we are already changing lives.  One of our tutors Lourdes wrote this:

"Thanks, because you provided clothes for my children and also tamales and ponche for us. We had Christmas for the first time in years."

Seems like a little thing, but for them, it was everything. 

That's the beauty of TongueTry.  We are not going into her community and taking a piece of the pie, no, we are helping them make the pie larger.  We have this unique opportunity through techonolgy to funnel into a desperate and impoverished community opportunities for women tutors to earn a strong living wage and impact generations to come.  But this all costs money and at this early stage of the company, there is no ongoing revenue. 

So we are raising funds to make sure we can continue to support our amazing tutors financially while we continue to build a world-class language platform and the marketplace surrounding it.  Any amount helps us accomplish this.  $5, $10, $50, $100, $5K.  

If you have gotten this far ... kudos and thank you. Below is extra perks and investment opportunity if you are contributing more than $100. So if that's you ... read on!

For all those giving $100+ ...  we got you! We are going to send you a gift card in that amount for lessons to meet Lourdes or Blanca and practice your Spanish. Depending on the donation depends on the amount. 

Anything over $5,000 we give you 12 months of free lessons for one person plus you get to become an investor at the amount you invested according to our predetermined terms in accordance with other existing SAFE Agreements. For more information, please contact me.
