Let’s Learn English -2022 Edition
One of the things that I do when I first meet someone from another country is to encourage them to learn the language. You may ask, why? Here are three reasons:
- English is the language of the US and if you want to live here you need to learn it.
- It will help you get a better job, and succeed in life, which is the main reason why we all come to this country.
- It will help you know and understand what this country is all about and you may end up studying a trade or get a degree, which eventually will help you in the long run.
Here are some resources for you to encourage others, volunteer if you can and/or maybe learn the language. The following list is broken down in the following categories:
In person, Online, On-Your-Own, and College level learning. At the bottom of the page you will find resources for English Learners
