Kia Ora, my name is Bushra Alshawafi. I am originally from Yemen, and I have been living in New Zealand for about a year and a half. My first language is Arabic, and I had little prior English education from intermediate school in my home country before coming to New Zealand.

I chose DynaSpeak after discovering it through an online search and reading positive feedback about the school. I am currently studying at level 2 and finds the experience different from my past studies, due to the challenge of everyone speaking English rapidly. However, my English is improving daily.

Studying at DynaSpeak has had a significant impact on my life. I have learned about Maori culture and am eager to learn more. The school has also provided me with opportunities to make friends from diverse cultures and develop new English skills, such as listening to English audio, writing, and reading.

My long-term goals include completing all levels at DynaSpeak, furthering my education at university, and eventually finding a job. I find my time at DynaSpeak memorable, particularly my first encounters with students from other countries. I also appreciate the kindness of my teachers, Kathy, and David, as they are down-to-earth.

My experience at DynaSpeak has been positive, contributing to my language skills, cultural understanding, and personal growth in New Zealand.
