     NEW YORK, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Maximiliano Lobos never thought that
some simple videos would travel so far. This young Chilean professor, 24,
thought of teaching English on YouTube, and today his classes are literally
travelling around the world.

    This innovative course named "123 English" is found at 123-ingles.com
and consists of Lobos'90 online video classes. At the moment, thousands of
people are studying the first 20 classes on YouTube, free of charge. The
link to the YouTube channel is http://www.youtube.com/undostresingles .

    Lobos says he feels "very happy" to help other people with such an
important need. He comments that people write to him from all over the
world expressing gratitude due to good results obtained.

    "A student from Miami that washed dishes in a restaurant wrote to me
saying that after he studied the course, he got a pay raise and a promotion
because of his great level of English," Lobos relates. "There are many
people who say that they learned in one week what they couldn't learn in
years."

    But there are also objective numbers. On YouTube, the course shows more
than two million reproductions, hundreds of positive comments and 5 star
evaluations for each one of his video classes.

    According to Lobos, the success of his course consists of the clarity
of the explanations, using progressive logic, and the convenience of
turning on the computer and beginning the study. Each class is short - not
more than 10 minutes, because according to him "more time is not advised
because the mind is easily distracted by the fast pace of life."

    Lobos says that more than 80% of his students are Latinos in the United
States.

    "There is an urgent necessity among the Hispanic community to learn
English and successfully assimilate into U.S. society," he explains. "This
course was created to solve a fundamental problem for Hispanics living in
this country and wish to prosper."

    "Any person who sets out to learn English will be able to achieve
proficiency in less than 4 months," promises this young teacher. According
to Lobos, he invented a new methodology that will leave you "speechless."
