Many colleges offer ESL programs (English as a Second Lanquage). Typically an advanced/intensive 1-2 year course.
My mom emmigrated here in the early fifties after marrying my dad and didn't speak a lick of English. She made it a point to speak as well as possible. She was of the opinion that if she lived in this country she'd master the language...and that she did. God love her.
Ever wonder what the first European language spoken here in this country was?
