(in Globish)

Russia

Dr. Alex Lapitsky of St. Petersburg is completing a side-by-side Russian Globish book/CD version of Globish In Globish (GNG) by David Hon.  It will be published in January 2012 by Prestige Books in Moscow. The book-audio version is based on the Internet Globish course which, before, was only available for computers.

Lapitsky* is a well-know Russian expert in language who has been responsible for at least 20 word books and other materials in Russia.

(* he is a translator and linguist who also makes dictionaries)

Brazil

Fale Globish is a new business operation with Ziaom, one of the major business in Brazil and connected to Wizard Languages, the largest English language business in Brazil.

Book materials for these businesses will be looked after by Globish Solutions, Inc. in Vancouver, Canada, according to rules set by the Globish Foundation.

Asia

Linking Publishers - a leading publisher in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, is publishing Globish The World Over by Jean-Paul Nerrière and David Hon, side-by-side in traditional Chinese early in 2012.  A modern Chinese version is also available, via Amazon.

Japan

Jean-Paul Nerrière was invited to Japan shortly after the highly successful showing of the Japanese side-by-side book of Globish The World Over. Lingua Franca held an evening meeting on Globish, and there is now a fair amount of work going on with teaching Globish there.

International Note On Amazon's Kindle and Globish

Amazon is not publishing Kindle books in Russian, Chinese or Japanese (or many other languages) due to difficulty in using only Roman character sets. The few books in languages other than English for the Kindle must use Graphics pages rather than text ones. Thus only a few books with characters from other languages are available on Kindle and, by extension, through the Kindle programs for PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Android systems.

This has held up the publication of many Globish books in other languages via that quick media that makes international selling easy. Nonethe less, The Globish Dao, by David Hon with first words by Jean-Paul Nerrière, is available for the Kindle.
