Hi, my name is Maricel R. Escaner. Learning a different language can be hard, but it can also be a fun and rewarding experience. I am a filipino and English is my second language, When I first started learning English it was a real challenge, especially pronunciation. I was so embarrassed to speak and I would never put my hand up in class because I was scared of making mistakes. Finally, I had a great teacher who taught me that making mistakes and learning from them is the best way to learn a language. She was right!
