| Anita and Teacher Erika |
Since then, both of them have been my inspiration to succeed. They have encouraged me a lot and had enormous patience. I am about to complete my 510 hours. During the last 18 moths I have learnt to rely on myself, go to the shops and interact with other people. My husband thinks that I have now become good at spending money because I can go out and do the shopping by myself.
I had a strong desire to learn English and having a bilingual DL teacher who can speak Spanish helped me understand the language and the culture better.
A few weeks ago my family and I travelled to Sydney to see the "Cirque du Soleil" show. It was a good opportunity to finally meet my teacher Erika face to face. We met at the hotel where I was staying and had lunch together. It was wonderful to see her in person after all our Skype lessons.
This week I'll have my last AMEP lesson but I know that Erika and I will always remain in touch. I feel more confident now and I hope that one day I will be able to do a beautician course and start my own make-up business.
Congratulations Anita and well done for finishing your hours and improving your English. Our best wishes for the next step.
- What would you like to do more independently as your English improves?
- Where do you get your inspiration to keep on learning?
- How many AMEP hours do you have remaining? What would you like to see yourself achieving in this time?
- If you had the chance to visit Sydney what are 3 things you would like to do or see?

Well done Anita, you've come a long way. Good luck with your future. I would like to check out Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteWell done Anita, my wife. I understand how difficult it has been to both come to a new Country and learn a new language. It is even more difficult when you are an adult. The course work and weekly Skype lessons worked very well especially as you could not travel to Sydney for face to face classes. I am very proud of your achievement and the dedication of your teacher Erika.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anita. It is a fantastic story of success. You must be very proud of your achievement. It is great to see that you were supported by the DL program and the Home Tutor Scheme combined. It is obvious from your husband's comments that you also had his support which is very important. Thanks for sharing your story. We wish you all the best for whatever goals you want to achieve. We have no doubt with your commitment and positive attitude you will be able to reach them.
