20 years applying for a housing lottery, yet she still has to speak through a translator?
Talk about a lost generation.
When I first brought my then Thai wife to the US, she spoke almost no English, and we had to converse in Thai. Got her enrolled in and ESL class, plus her self studying, and within a few months she could speak English to the degree she got a job a local restaurant.
It was a funny household, with me, the tall white guy speaking Thai so I could maintain my language skills, and her speaking English to enhance hers.
I don't understand how people come to the US, and after 20yrs still need a translator.
And two teenaged kids.
Can’t afford a roof but...
I didn’t think English was that hard to learn. But many Italians never learned English after moving to the US in the early part of the 20th century.
EXACTLY——NOT a person who wishes to ASSIMILATE...
No wonder we have problems.
Do I get to guess how much $$$ she contributes to this country in taxes on earned income???
