ESL Resources
It is not all that uncommon to meet someone in the United States who is speaking English as a second language. Whether they have come for education or for work, we have many internationals with us today.
Of those who come, many would love to make friends with Americans, to learn about this new culture they have come to, and to improve their English. For someone who is not trained as a teacher, helping someone with their English can be intimidating.
Here are some on-line resources that may help you get past the intimidation factor.
