What learners say
It is good to be learning it keeps the brain going.
Coming to my class has helped me meet new people and build my confidence.
If I was home I would be bored and start to feel lonely, in class I can learn new things and share with the others what I know. It makes me feel good I can share.
I am working on my speech and making my voice clear. My voice matters.
I was very nervous about attending class but have just got a job again attending this class has helped me improve my English skills. I still want to attend the class as I can still get even better at English.
The class is helping me use my computer, I can see my friends and don’t feel so lonely.
I am doing a cookery class and have learnt how to make lasagne which is my favourite.
