America doesn't wait, it moves forward, every day, every minute. Are you still watching from afar? Start studying today, and feel how the world around you comes alive when you can understand and be understood. You're in America! So become a part of it, like one of your own. My students once lived just like you: in the quiet of their little room somewhere in the basement of Sheepshead Bay or Brighton, hiding from a world that spoke an incomprehensible language. Then they took the plunge. And everything changed. Angelica now works in a fashionable store on Fifth Avenue and lives right in Manhattan. Daniela opened her own business. Dilnoza got her license and teaches at an American school. And Dilshod, after 13 years of waiting, got his green card, moved to Florida, bought a house, and lives happily with his family. They all once stood in the same place where you stand now. The only difference is that they took a step. Don't let English be a wall between you and your new life. Especially when you have a teacher who knows the way, a professional translator, a teacher, and a lawyer nearby. I've lived in America since 1999. In 2019, I founded the nonprofit Speak & Practice English, Inc., to help immigrants find solid ground. If you've read this far, it means life is already pointing you in the right direction. All you have to do is take the first step. With high-quality English, things won't get any worse. But without it, you'll never know what you're missing right now.
