Language: Government Fault and Women Refugees

language: English isn t an easy language, and what more, it distant from Arabic, according to Globe and Mail. It not like the differences between Italian and French, or even German and English. It not the government fault, nor that of the refugees, that many have not fully absorbed a new language in a year, the length of the time that the government has indirectly budgeted for. Women refugees, in particular, run the risk of falling behind. They can t learn a language well if they don t have jobs and daycare. If they stay at home, they are apt to become isolated, and they may not learn much more than rudimentary English or French. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
