One of the difficulties immigrants and refugees face upon arriving in the United States is the language barrier.
Did you know that the language barrier can cause enormous difficulties and make simple interactions seem inexistent?
Employment, transportation, legal responsibilities, and receiving assistance in each of these areas are more difficult without the confidence to speak in English. You are in a new country, trying to adapt to a new lifestyle, probably far away from your family, and adapting to a new culture!
Other difficulties range from dealing with legal complications to understanding complex transportation systems, securing housing, employment arrangements, and battling culture shock, psychological distress, depression, and isolation.
In this podcast, you will have the opportunity to hear in a pleasant way the voices of some of the members of I Belong Philly sharing their stories, challenges, English barrier, how they overcame these barriers in Philadelphia, and how they are becoming, step by step, world citizens in the United States. ❤️
We invite you to listen to us...
