When Asmerom Tesfahuney came to the UK from Eritrea two years ago he was only able to speak a little English so signed up for an ESOL course to improve his skills.
Asmerom said: “I want to be able to communicate better to make my life in the UK easier.
“Since starting the course my speaking has improved and it’s easier to use the phone. My reading and writing is better too and I feel much more confident than I did a few months ago.”
