Madam B—Learning English Makes the Difference

Madam B comes from an Arabic speaking country. A widow, she is new to the United States and lives with her son, daughter-in-law, and their three school aged children. As a beginning English Language student she has developed a small vocabulary of words for everyday greetings and can now follow simple reading books with her first grade grandchild.

Before her classes, a walk down the street for Madam B was a solitary activity. Now she walks down the street, goes to the store, and is able to greet her neighbors. She very much enjoys time with her grandchildren and actually knows the words in their story books.

A window in a new world has opened and she can actually enjoy living in her new world. Thank you so much Tom for helping support Madam B in learning English!
