[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not offer to help her learn English and get her license.[/quote] OP here. She is 61 and been here for like 20 years and does not speak it. So, I tried helping her to do both but did not succeed. It's not easy to learn a new language at 61. I translated an entire driving manual for her but she cannot pass the test in E nglish to get her permit[/quote] Not trying to be petty, but find it RIDICULOUS that she's been here 20 years and can't speak English. When I was in high school I spent a summer as an exchange student in France. I could barely ask basic questions when I left the US and was fluent upon return. In college, my cousin spent a summer volunteering (through a school program) in Africa and came home conversational in two extra languages. Who lives someplace for two decades and never learns to communicate with the locals? That would've been a deal breaker for me right there. [/quote]
