Testimonials from our

workplace learners

Teddy Bangilinan

LEARNER

In the Philippines, speaking English is a mix. Sometimes we use ‘Taglish’, Tagalog and English. It’s our normal way of life. That’s why most Filipinos can some speak English, but if you live in an English-speaking country, you need to improve it.

Hardy Hko

LEARNER

I got a good chance to learn English because I had workmates and I asked them to teach me, and they were good Kiwis and happy to teach me. We would speak together at lunchtime and go to the shops together and after a year, my English had improved.

Re Ber Paw Sein

LEARNER

Before you helped me get this job, it was like all the doors were locked and everything was in darkness, and now it is like the lights are all on and I can go in.

Laura Aguero Cendak

LEARNER

Look what I have done. I have travelled 10,000 kilometres to start a new life. If I can do that, I can do anything.

Linda Lam

LEARNER

We all live in a global village, and education plays an important part. People have always accepted my 'Chinglish' but the improvement [in my English] over the past year has amazed even me.
