 Every Tuesday from 6pm - 8pm, Glasgow Autonomous Space hosts the Unity Arabic/English language exchange. The Unity Centre (http://unitycentreglasgow.org/) started the exchange because many people from many different Arabic speaking countries wanted to practise their English, and many other people wanted to learn Arabic! In recent years, cuts have been made to English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses and people wait months on waiting lists. There is a very high demand for English classes. Every Tuesday the class comes together at Glasgow Autonomous Space to create a supportive and welcoming environment. Everyone is different levels and people learn what they want, however they like. Everyone is learning together! The class is run collectively and everyone is the teacher. Many attendees are in the asylum system or struggle to cover transport costs. It is important that the classes remain accessible to all by offering travel money. Donations are very welcome - https://www.youcaring.com/people-who-couldn-t-attend-otherwise-601139. Donations of materials such as pens and paper are also very useful. For more information contact [email protected]. Come on down and join in! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You could also: Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/unitylanguageexchange/ And share our flyer below! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** We urgently need more English speakers!
