Language Barrier

I just wanted to mention what I picked up when we were conversing with one of the residents interested in participating in the ESL course we were planning. From his tone of voice it was clear that he was a little bit frustrated. We were asking him what he wanted to learn and it only seemed to upset him a little more. The fact of the matter was that there were many individuals who were interested in actually learning English, it just had to be organized. By organized, not only do I mean schedule-wise, but I also mean structured, with some sort of curriculum; we need a place to begin and an idea of what direction we're headed in. Other than that, it appears that this opportunity could be an excellent learning experience for both student and teacher.
