Learning a New Language Is Hard, Dictionaries Make It Easy!

Funded Sep 12, 2024

Your support has made an incredible difference in my classroom in Lynn, Massachusetts. The Spanish-English translation dictionaries you helped provide have become invaluable tools for my students, many of whom are recent immigrants to our vibrant and diverse city. These resources have empowered our learners to rely less on translation apps and more on their own developing language skills, fostering a sense of independence and confidence as they navigate their new community. The excitement on their faces when they successfully find a word or phrase on their own is truly heartwarming.

The impact of your generosity extends far beyond our classroom walls. As Lynn has long been a welcoming home for immigrants, these dictionaries are helping our students become active participants in the broader community. They're now able to more easily communicate with neighbors, read local signage, and engage in community events. This increased engagement not only accelerates their English language acquisition but also helps them feel more connected to their new home. Your support has truly been a catalyst for their integration and success, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Sclafani
