Student Story
Finding Community in a New Country
Greater Hartford is home to many global companies, and with that comes a global workforce. Originally from Germany, Susanne and her husband moved to CT after his company assigned him to their U.S. office for three years. The transition for Susanne was a bit challenging, but she found a community of folks who were willing to help when she came to LVGH.
Upon recommendation from a friend of hers from Switzerland in a similar situation, Susanne reached out and enrolled in our English for Speakers of Other Languages class. “When I started, my first impressions were of the kind employees. I very much admired the excellent work of the volunteers and the whole staff”.
Her favorite part of being a student here was having conversations with her classmates and teachers, which she said helped to “maintain the fun of learning” while she improved her grammar and began to speak English more confidently.
We are sad that her time at LVGH has ended, as Susanne and her husband recently returned to Germany. “I will definitely miss the motivating and patient teachers and the helpful crew at LVGH,” says Susanne, “and I would definitely recommend LVGH to anyone. I enjoyed learning about your amazing country!”
