STORIES FROM THE STREETS

"Simon"

"Simon" has been living in the homeless community for about two years. His presence there has been a mystery. He seems to have none of the problems that ordinarily result in homelessness.

Gradually, we discovered that he is an ordained minister and is

English as a First Foreign Language

Interesting perspective here. I'm chewing on it. What do you think of the assertions that "not speaking English" is isolating and "English is
becoming the universal language"? See http://www.englishffl.org/
