“I need English class for my work and family. I work for people who don’t speak Spanish. I need to speak and understand English to communicate with them. My daughter needs help with her homework and I need English for shopping and doctor appointments. Anyone speaking two languages has twice as many opportunities!” ~Cecilia V., ESL Student
