Are you living in an English speaking country because of your job? It can be a huge transition, not only for you, but for your family.
I know from personal experience how difficult it can be.
My husband had to move to South Korea for a project with his job. He was going to be gone for two to three years. I did not like the fact that our family might be separated for that long. So, we moved to South Korea with him.
This experience as a foreigner in a different country was both one of the scariest and the most exciting of my life.
This picture is of our two sons the morning we flew out to South Korea. Here are some facts.
- I had never flown before. The boys had never flown before.
- My youngest son had just been diagnosed on the autism spectrum just four months before this.
- My children were going to a new school, new country and new culture.
- I had no idea what I was going to experience.
My experience turned out to be one of the most awesome times of our lives. However, there were many frustrating days.
You may be in the same situation living in the United States, the UK, Australia, Canada or any other English speaking country.
I took Korean classes while we were in South Korea. I understand the frustration of learning a new language. I volunteered at the international school where my children attended. I saw the desperation and anxiety students had when they were learning a new language.
Let me help your child gain the English skills they need to excel in their education. They are getting so much more experience now by living in a foreign country. The less anxiety they have about school, the more they can enjoy the experience.
