How do new immigrants learn English well?

The biggest obstacle for many new immigrants to live in the United States is language. Language is the first tool for human communication. Both work and life need to communicate, and language barriers will make it difficult for us to move. According to the latest survey by the Federal Census Bureau, there are more than 350 languages spoken at home in the United States, and in the largest cities, fewer and fewer people speak English at home. The report also points out that American immigrants who speak Asian languages at home are not as fluent in English as Hispanics. Of the 2.9 million American immigrants who speak Chinese, only 44.7% are fluent in English.

Status quo-Immigrants' English language ability is insufficient

According to The Washington Times, about 54% of the residents in the Los Angeles metropolitan area use English as their main language at home, compared with 38% in new york metropolitan area, 565,438+0% in Miami, 40% in San Francisco and 36% in Washington.

Surprisingly, Americans use a wide range of languages at home, including dozens of Indian languages. Statisticians from the US Federal Census Bureau said: "Most people in the United States speak several foreign languages at home, such as English, Spanish and Chinese, but community surveys in the United States show that Americans use a variety of languages at home."

Among the foreign language speaking groups, most people speak Spanish at home. About 37.5 million people over the age of five speak Spanish at home, but they learn English well. More than 56% of the respondents said that they spoke English fluently.

People who speak Asian languages at home are slightly inferior. According to the report of the US Federal Census Bureau, of the 2.9 million Chinese speakers, only 44.7% are fluent in English. Of the 654.38+0.4 million people who speak Vietnamese at home, only 40% claim to speak English very well.

New immigrants learn English in many ways.

There are many places in America that offer opportunities to learn English, speak, read and write. For example, many children and adults sign up for English as a Second Language (ESL) courses, that is, ESL courses. These classes are also called non-native English classes (ESOL) or English reading and writing classes. It can help people who don't know English learn English.

Children who don't know English can also learn English directly at school. Most American public schools provide help and guidance to all students who need to learn English.

Adults who don't know English can sign up for English as a Second Language (ESL) courses offered by American public adult and community education programs or private language schools. Of course, children's schools may also provide family literacy education services, parent outreach services and language training for parents in non-English-speaking countries.

American school districts and community colleges often provide public adult and community education programs in local communities. These programs can provide English as a Second Language (ESL) courses and tutoring by local volunteers. They are usually free or charge a small fee. Class time may be day or night.

Most American cities also have private language schools that offer English as a second language courses during the day or at night. Private language courses are usually charged according to class hours, which is generally more expensive than public courses.

Some American community organizations, libraries and religious organizations also offer free or low-cost English as a second language (ESL) courses. You can also ask the local librarians, who will tell you about English as a Second Language (ESL) courses and tell you where to find ESL books, tapes, CDs and library computer software.

When you go to a new country, language is the biggest obstacle. Don't lock yourself up for fear of language barriers. Before we immigrate to America, we must overcome the language barrier. By learning the above methods, I believe you can integrate into the American family soon.
