Learning English can be really challenging and take a lot of time and effort, especially if you struggle to learn in a classroom environment. 

On this page you will find useful resources to help you learn English at your own pace. The resources can also benefit professionals communicating with New English Speakers such as teachers and health professionals.

 

NEW!

We are happy to share with you “My Communication Aid” resources.

In collaboration with Cobh Family Resource Centre, we have developed 13 language tutorials in Arabic and English that cover topics such as health, childcare and using public transport. Learning English in the classroom can be difficult, especially if you have difficulty remembering the lessons taught by the time you get home. These videos can help you learn important words and phrases from the comfort of your own home at a speed that suits you.

Videos can be viewed on the Refugee Resources youtube channel.

AND……

“My Communication Aid” handbooks are available to download, share and print. These are highly visual handbooks that complement the language videos to empower learners to practise English whilst out and about in the community. If you find yourself in difficulty during a conversation you can rely on your handbook to help you communicate the words and sentences you are struggling to remember or say.
