A new drug rehabilitations trainee was recently routed onto the Ollie program, so as to learn English fast. … At first, she spoke zero English. After the first day she said, “I now confront to speak English.” After eight days on Ollie the Elephant — Learning Made Easy, she now communicates in English.
In the beginning, my son could not say a sentence. After three lessons he started speaking English. He could say his ideas in English. It was a surprise for him, and it was a big surprise for me! The program and the exercises are magical.
We honestly could not believe the changes with our daughter. But gradually she started to speak in class, she would get into fewer fights with her classmates, she started to find subjects that interested her and wanted to learn and practice these subjects.
Today I learned the different uses of the word “to.” I am happy with the new knowledge. I improved and I am happy working with my coach.
This was the best lesson of English I ever had for my son (twelve years old). He said that today he learned as much as he usually learns in school during one entire year. Thank you very much to the creators of this program and thank you to Marie for being an excellent coach.
I started seven weeks ago with zero English. I couldn’t understand anything. At first, I skipped coming to lessons to go to work, but I realized that these lessons were important and helped me a lot. I decided to learn English first, and then go to work, as it becomes much easier.
I had tried more than fifty times to learn reading. I really wanted to get a driver’s license, but the classes were too hard. I couldn’t make it and they gave up on me. They told me that I have to get employed anyway. So I ended up working for the rubbish pick up company. But here, this literacy program gives me hope and it is fun.
He was able to study a booklet on personal values, saying, “I can read! I can understand that!”
I have a 4 year old [student] who has never set foot in a school. He is now starting to READ these little sentences of the Ollie books. He really likes the pictures and he can overcome the barriers easily. (which surprises me a lot). With this [student], I do mainly work from only the Ollie books.
I have learned how to communicate with others, I am no longer afraid to speak English. I no longer hesitate. I have gained the confidence to speak. I could never even look at others before. Now I can face anyone!
