Hi everyone! My name is Maria and I am a proud Mexican American. I moved to America when I was about 13 years old and had to jump immediately into middle school with only knowing a small amount of English. This was definitely very hard for me to make friends since I couldn’t communicate with many kids. Luckily, I made a friend who was able to speak both English and Spanish. She helped me everyday with my English my trying to teach me. Till this day we are still best friends and I am forever grateful for her. Since I know how difficult this can be for people to try and start a new life in America not being able to speak much English, I decided to shed some light on those who are suffering with the same problem I had. This website is about making it easier for those who are struggling to start a new life due to language barriers.
