Living in Peru : your everyday companion

The beauty of this program is to learn how to improve ourselves, and all we have to do is follow the literature we receive when we become members. At first you may come as a visitor for three times, and then at the fourth you must decide if this is what you were looking for or not. Most people who come to our Club decide to stay, as we are a happy, healthy group that is willing to share all our knowledge with newcomers.
 
This, perhaps, is one of the characteristics of Toastmasters, that there are no teachers. We all learn from each other and we all mentor and coach the newcomer.

Here in Peru Toastmasters is, in addition, an important instrument to become fluent in the English Language, as it is of utmost importance today to be able to communicate well in English. All conferences and newest books on inventions or new ideas are in this language. The Club is not a school to learn English, one has to have a certain level of command of English, but there you have an opportunity to polish the language and increase your vocabulary. You will be coached constantly by those with more experience, and all your presentations are evaluated. Not criticized, but rather weighed with the innate abilities the speaker has and what other aspects need bettering or change.

Toastmasters also helps you become a better leader by asking for your participation in the different roles that we have in all our meetings. This participation and willingness to take part in the running of the meeting will give you tools to better your leadership skills. The Toastmasters approach is hands-on and participatory, not dry and academic; it’s a place to try your hand at leadership instead of just reading about it. 

There are two English Toastmasters Club, both meeting on Thursday. The Lima Toastmasters Club meets at 12:30 to 2:00 PM for lunch at The Lima Cricket & Football Club, while The International Toastmasters Club of Peru meets at 469 Grimaldo del Solar 469, Miraflores, on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
 
Come on down and join us. It will be a challenge you will always be proud of having taken.

Cuánto cuesta la inscripción para participar de este Club? Los encuentros son solo los Jueves?. 1 sola vez por semana?

What are the fees to enroll and are there other costs? and what else beside polishing the skill  of public speaking does one get?  How many members are present at any given meeting usually?  Are most people non-executives, administrators or professionals? is there an specific requirement to belong?

Thank you for your consideration.
