When I became a naturalised US citizen, I had little difficulty communicating because I'd grown up speaking English in London, England. When I retired and moved to Jerusalem, Israel, the simplest tasks became challenges. Even though, as a Jew, I was for the first time in my life not living as a minority, life became more difficult. I know what it is like to be an immigrant, lacking languaguge skills, so I have chosen to utilize the English words I know to assist those who cannot easily speak - or listen - for themselves.
