[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just matched with an AP whose English is not great. This is the first time I have had to address this. All my prior APs have been native English speakers (or close to it). I really liked her and love the idea of our family helping her learn English so she can go back to her country and get a better job. She doesn't arrive for 4 months. Any ideas on how I can help her brush up and learn the basics of what she needs to know to be an AP, driving in the US, etc. Any online courses that aren't a fortune (we will supplement her education stipend when she is here). She seems to be eager to learn. Thanks! [/quote] How do you even screen that someone will be good with your children e who is a poor English speaker? Whenever we interviewed someone with poor English skills we immediately DQ'd them. Its impossible to get a good idea of who someone is if you can't even communicate at a level greater than a 2yr old.[/quote]
