Natsinet's story

My name is Natsinet. I come from Eritrea. I have been living in the UK since 2005. In my country I never had a proper job,but in England, I worked as a cleaner.
Since coming to ELATT I have been learning English.
On a normal day (Tuesday and Thursday) I start at 9.30am then I finish at 4.30pm. They pay my childcare and travel so I can come to classes. Other places never did this.
I really enjoy studying because my English is becoming better than before.
Next week I will be on a work placement with Bean About Town,
for barista training. I am really excited about this as I can learn
skills that will help me when I get a job.
