‘I have learnt a lot of English because I am having to speak English all the time. This has improved my grammar and I feel more confident when talking to my Scottish friends.’

(Quote from ESOL learner)

‘I wanted to learn to speak English. I wanted to learn for myself so that I could go about my daily duties myself like shopping going to doctors etc.’

(Quote from ESOL learner)
