US Citizenship Interview with Min Zheng

Please forgive my sudden hiatus--my father has a series of stroke during Memorial Day and died in early in July. He was a master teacher, and although I am devastated my his loss, I continued to work with my students during this time. Here is a recording with Min Zheng, a doctor from China. After her interview, the students ask her the civics questions. It may be a little difficult to hear and understand some of the questions. Use this opportunity to listen for key words and practice asking, "Excuse me, can you please repeat the question?" Let's get started. A bit more a Min Zheng. One of the most interesting things about her is that she did not go to school to learn English. She learned English solely from mobile apps and an online community on We Chat that like to practice English. As she gained more confidence, she practiced speaking English with her grandchildren especially when she helped them with their homework. I can recommend two mobile apps to learn English: DuoLingo--This app is free. I am using it now to study German, but you can also download DuoLingo in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, or many other languages to study English. USALearns--The app costs 99 cents or you can study English for free at their website, USALearns.org which includes a intensive Citizenship course which includes difficult N-400 vocabulary. Thanks to the students and staff of Milpitas Adult School. A special thanks goes out to Min Zheng. Please visit us on the web at uscitizenpod.com where you can find more resources for Citizenship.
