Todo el contenido pedagógico ha sido diseñado por un equipo de creadores nativos anglófonos con experiencia en la enseñanza de inglés. La estructura pedagógica inicial fue creada por un profesor licenciado en filosofía y letras, que aporta al equipo GymGlish un conocimiento científico y altamente cualificado de la lengua inglesa, de sus fundamentos y de la lingüística. Esta estructura se adapta perfectamente a la arquitectura del sistema A9 expert, asumiendo sus limitaciones y sacando todo el partido a sus posibilidades.
Andrew Arnon es originario de San Francisco (EE.UU), donde ha vivido la mayor parte de su vida. Licenciado en literatura y en 'Creative Writing' por el Johnston College de la Universidad de Redlands (California), Andrew ha enseñado inglés en Francia y en Corea del Sur a alumnos de perfiles diversos. Además de esa valiosa experiencia en la enseñanza del inglés, la desbordante creatividad y el talento inventivo de Andrew conquistaron enseguida a los dos fundadores, a los que se unió en abril de 2004, pocos meses después de la creación de la empresa. Andrew es el primer autor de los episodios de la saga Delavigne, la auténtica columna vertebral del contenido, el primer diseñador de los distintos materiales pedagógicos del curso. Dirige al equipo del creadores y profesores y edita el conjunto del contenido asegurándose de la calidad, riqueza y actualidad del inglés propuesto. Andrew, de 32 años y madre francesa, ofrece su perspectiva cultural 'doble' y aporta el 'toque de humor' característico de GymGlish.
I have always had a passion for designing English courses via e-mail, even before I invented the Internet at the age of 6. As a young child in America, I roamed the streets of San Francisco collecting the seeds for the stories which would later become elements of the Delavigne Corporation saga. After a touching experience with an ostrich, in which I touched an ostrich, I realized that at some point ostriches would become part of my world. This episode would become an inspiration for my work on the Rich Morning Show, cartoon English lessons sent via e-mail. I am unmarried and have no children that I know of. I own a yellow bicycle and enjoy playing basketball.
Teaching English via e-mail is a lot like caressing a cactus: You think it's a great idea at first, but it always ends in minor hand injuries.
Helen Bird learnt English from her librarian parents in the charming market town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. After 18 years of learning English, she decided to study French for a change. Since moving to Paris, she has been writing stories to help people learn English. She also greatly enjoys correcting people's English grammar, even in her free time. Helen's other hobbies include cooking vegan food, taking care of her two cats, and ruining people's Christmas parties by talking about where foie gras comes from.
Did you know that the livestock industry creates more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry?

Growing up in a very green part of London, Francis spent his childhood talking to foxes and giving nuts to squirrels. This served him well when, in his later years, he decided to converse with students of English and feed them with idioms. Idioms are like nuts in many ways, they both only make sense to those who know how to crack them, and you can easily choke on them. When he's not creating English lessons, you can often find him on a football field, in a cinema, or teaching baby pigeons how to fly. He is a size Medium to Large and likes good quality kitchen knives.
Steady, watch me navigate, haha haha ha.

Jim likes teaching: ask him to name 3 prepositions, he'll give you 4; ask him for a complicated idiom, he'll give you one off the top of his head; ask him for some useful e-mail language and he'll get back to you ASAP; ask him to explain the present perfect, he will bite your ear off. That's probably the eighth time he's been asked that this week. Jim is half Welsh, half English, one third reserved, one quarter musician, but all teacher.
I could have been a nuclear physicist.

En todos los diálogos incluidos en los emails GymGlish, inspirados en la trama de la Delavigne Corporation, intervienen actores profesionales de diversos orígenes (Estados Unidos, Gran Bretaña, Irlanda, Australia, América del Sur, Asia, Europa...). Puesto que el inglés es una lengua global, prestamos una atención especial a la variedad de acentos, mas allá de los nativos anglófonos.
