Voices of Project Literacy - Watertown Free Public Library

I am studying with Project Literacy. I live in Watertown Massachusetts. Every Tuesdayand Thursday, I go to the school because I want to learn more English to help my kidswith their homework and for conferences with their teachers too.English is very important for our lives in this country. If you don’t learn English, it is veryhard, because you can’t speak with anybody. Since the U.S.A. has many different types ofpeople and languages, English is the common language. I come twice a week to Englishclass. I like this language.The teacher is very nice and my classmates too. We learn English so we can find verygood jobs and we can make very good friends. I am very happy that we have thisopportunity in this town. My dream is to learn to write, read and speak very well. Thankyou to the people who help the program.– Amalia Zamora, Student (Advanced Evening Class)I am quite fortunate to have Hamlet as an extraordinary ESL student and fine friend. We'vebeen meeting weekly for more than 3 years.He studies diligently and makes me even more aware of my own language. Our discussionshave a wide scope of language, culture and humor. There have been some great outings.We have met each other’s families and friends, and have shared photographs and manycomestibles, yes indeed! Thank you, Hamlet.So I must say the connection I have with Hamlet and Project Literacy has beeninvaluable to me.– Jeffrey Stainton, Tutor29
