In San Diego California, my hometown, a good percentage of the population does not speak English.....at all. As a result, they are sometimes treated like second-class citizens even though they are warm, intelligent, hard-working, and motivated people.
I want to teach as many non-English speakers as I can to be proficient in English so that that can claim their rightful place in a culture that treats them as outcast simply because of a language barrier.
