The group above was one from a previous summer. In general, all of my groups do admirably well. In fact, I cannot help but look at them with an immense respect which they deserve. Many are new immigrants highly skilled in their own fields. They arrive in Canada and many are forced to start over. How daunting a task it must be to gain proficiency in another language as an adult learner! Many have family and work obligations to juggle as well. My hats off to them for their effort and abilities. They are working hard not only to better themselves but to improve their adopted country as well.
