Students Express Gratitude!
One student wrote:
"I was afraid to leave home alone because I couldn't understand when
people were talking to me. I thought that if I got lost on street, I
couldn't get directions to come back home. I never went to restaurants
because I couldn't order from the menu. I couldn't apply for a job or
have an interview in English...Right now, I can go wherever I like, I
can express my opinions and my thoughts. I can order food at any
restaurant and I have been taking interviews in English."
Another wrote: "I can speak and
understand more English.
Now I can speak with other people in English. I can do more things
without help. I can ride the bus to go shopping."
