Ep. 24 "I Would Like My Children to Speak English" | Library Stories
Juan Cordero immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic in order to build a better life for himself and his family. When one of his children gave him a flyer about free English classes at the Library, it opened up a whole new world of opportunities. Now, with the help of ESOL classes at NYPL’s Wakefield Library, Juan and his family are well on their way to achieving their dreams.
