We, as a school, have seen people who have left their homes to work in a foreign land struggle greatly. We believe that a lot of times this struggling is caused by not seeing the importance of taking the time to learn the language and understand our culture. Unfortunately, these people who have rushed through language to get straight to work, many times are not able to do the work that brought them here effectively.

They find that their communication ability is lacking. The worker is disheartened at the lack of response in the community, and their own inability to communicate and understand what is going on around them. After struggling for a few years more, they return to their home country. We see the answer to this problem as the blend of faithful and gentle immersion into local communities along with clear guidance and review of cultural events by a trusted nurturer. In many instances, this process takes more time than a person would like to spend.

We believe that longevity in a foreign country, as well as being able to thrive while working here hinges on taking time with these first and foundational steps of learning language and culture. Let us help you set this strong foundation.
