What difficulties do migrant groups face when learning English?

i have an assignment to complete about the acquisition of the english language by mirgant groups.
Your answers to a few questions will be highly appreciated..
Please answer if english is not your first language or if you migrated from a non-english speaking country to an english speaking country.

Just to help you with your assignment, I asked these questions to a family member(since English was my 1st language). Hope it helps…and remember, i’m writing what they say.lol!

1. I was school age, maybe 16, and I learned in Japan through the ppl in the service.(meaning navy, army,etc.)
2. It was hard to communicate at first, and I felt foolish trying.
Many ppl did not understand me, and children would sometimes laugh. I almost gave up.
3. I met a military man, who I later married, but I was not accepted into his family right away. His family thought I wanted a green card only, but later they did accept me. When he left the military, after having 2 children, we moved to his hometown in Georgia, where I again was discriminated against because of my skin.
4. I learned by listening to the military personnel, and by watching ameriacan television. Then when I knew a couple of words, I would study with tutors to help me more. It was a long and difficult journey.
5. I can speak English very well, and read it also well, but when I write it, sometimes I am confused. My spelling and grammar are not perfect in written communications.
6. Yes, because since being in this country, I speak English. There are not many Japanese here that I know, and I choose to respect this language. Japanese is only used in a JApanese store, or in my country. I respect this language, and the ppl here, that is why I choose to speak English. But if you speak to me in JApanese, then I will respond in the same. Otherwise, I will respect this country!
