Testimonials

"As an English language development teacher for children and adults, I find this book an invaluable resource for both immigrants learning about the United States and English teachers. The careful and comprehensive compilation of valuable information paired alongside the raw and personal experiences of the author make the reader feel seen and understood during the tumultuous time of resettlement within the U.S. Additionally, English teachers of adults will quickly adopt this book as their go-to resource for assisting their students as they adjust to life in American culture. Readers are encouraged to proactively learn about this new American culture while finding meaningful ways to remain true to their native identity. I highly recommend this thoughtful compilation of stories and resources to anyone with a desire to know more about American life, students and teachers alike."

5.0 out of 5 stars, Comprehensive Resource for New Immigrants and Teachers of English Language Development

​"I wish I had Selma's book when I first arrived in the U.S.—it would have eased my loneliness and answered so many questions I didn’t know how to ask. It covers countless topics that a newcomer to the US might have come up, offering guidance on how to navigate them. My husband also found it incredibly helpful in understanding me—my ways of communicating and doing things. I especially loved how the author emphasizes adapting to a new country while staying true to your roots. A must-read for anyone starting their journey here.​"
