Read about Jane's growing comfortability with English, with the help of Fiona
Jane and Fiona have been partners for 1 and a half years. Jane is from Huaian, China and started goingg to ENRICH because her friend is a member here as well.
Starting out, Jane says the first time she came to ENRICH she remembers being happy to have a class to practice her English. When we asked if she was nervous starting her first class at ENRICH, she replies, "No!.....Well, maybe a little."
When Jane and Fiona interact, there is a sense of friendship, trust and mentorship - from both Fiona and Jane!
Jane says she feels more comfortable speaking English now. ENRICH has helped her not to hesitate and to be more confident in her speaking.
Coming to the United States for the first time, Jane expressed how excited she felt. But, her favorite thing now is the nature. She loves Chapel Hill's environment and all the beautiful nature surrounding the city.
She also tells us that the community has been so nice to her. She says it is "very open" and that the people always make an effort to understand her, and are always nice.
As far as her favorite ENRICH experience goes, Jane notes the teachers [student volunteers] are always really great and helpful. Fiona notes that after being partners for 1 year together, time flies! Fiona is a first-year UNC student who has enjoyed every minute with Jane.
