"When I first came here, my English wasn't very good at all, but after I studied in the Intensive English Program for only one semester, my English improved very quickly. 

Before I was not really proud to talk with people in English, but now I have improved quite a lot."

"I heard about the IEP from my brother. He recommended it to me. He said that they had very good activities that would improve my English. 

When I first came [to WCU], I met American students here and they were very friendly [...] to international students.

The way that teachers communicate with us as foreign students, that is also very nice for me."

"The people here are friendly. I like how they accept our culture, and I like how they want us to communicate with them.

Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed of your speaking and English skills. Just go outside and speak to anyone. They will accept you.
