Mohammad Selim Uddin has been living in New Zealand for two years and is originally from Bangladesh. His mother tongue is Bangla, and he had learned a little English before coming to New Zealand. Mohammad heard positive things about Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and its English teaching, which encouraged him to join DynaSpeak. For Mohammad, studying at DynaSpeak has been a positive experience. He finds the learning environment different from other places and feels that the teaching here is better. Since starting his studies, Mohammad has noticed improvements in his English and has also made new friends. One particularly memorable moment was his first speaking assessment, where he took part in a role-play activity in English – something he had never done before. Looking ahead, Mohammad hopes to become more fluent in everyday English conversations and find a job. His journey shows how learning English can help build confidence, create new friendships and open doors to future opportunities.
