“In my case, I like to be very independent, so it’s very difficult to always be asking others for help. I think learning the language can lead to better job opportunities, too. So it’s a way to move forward.”

-Elena, Adult Learner

“I remember that with my oldest son, I didn’t go to school meetings because I didn’t understand anything. But with my second child, I went to all the meetings from the beginning. I feel very happy because I’ve achieved that thanks to being at Literacy Connection.”

-Rosa, English Language Acquisition Student

“The reason I’m connected with this service is that when I arrived, I faced a huge language barrier—when it came to getting a job and doing many everyday things...Language is the reference point. It’s what allows you to move forward with everything you want to do and take on.”

-Carlos, Adult Learner

“Now I understand much more. I can manage at hospitals, at schools, for medical appointments. And that’s thanks to Literacy Connection.”

-Teresa, Adult Learner

“The service gave me a chance to practice English so I could look for a job and speak to my coworkers without fear.”
