Get The Nation Learning Week: Q&A with ESOL Learner, Zohra El Mellali

I wanted to improve my English to help with everyday life and for when I am talking to people in my community. NSCG is a good college, and I heard many people say it’s friendly and helpful.

I enjoy meeting new people from different countries. Our teacher is extremely kind and always ready to help us.

Very nervous but I was happy to be starting a new adventure. Everyone is very nice and making new friend helped me to be more comfortable.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand new grammar especially when people speak fast. But with practice, it gets better. I can ask for help when I need it and talking to others in the class is the best way to learn.

Meeting new people and getting involved in events to show off my heritage such as the ESOL Culture Day.

I feel more confident now. I can speak and understand English better. I can also help my child more with school and speak to teachers which is very important. I am also improving my writing skills.

Yes, I want to keep learning. I am working my way to the Level 2 ESOL course.

Don’t be scared. It’s never too late to learn. You will make friends, learn new things, and feel proud of yourself. Just take the first step!
