Learning English
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"When I came here, at first I didn't even know how to speak English. The good thing is at Miles Mac* they do have the English as a Second Language Program (ESL). It was a little bit challenging, but after a while, we got used to it. Some people catch on within a week and some of us take a little bit longer, but we are all now in the same place."
*Note: This is short form for Miles Macdonell Collegiate, the high school in Winnipeg that Yonas attended. The ESL program is now called English as an Additional Language (EAL).
