Your takeaway at the end of this lesson: enough vocabulary, increased confidence, and managed ideas to speak confidently about emigration.
One of the most difficult moments in every body’s life is when it comes to decide to leave their homes in hope of safer, better, and brighter future.

Because of the new and different surroundings, this journey, called emigration, at the beginning can be full of stress, danger, and fear. Some people risk falling prey to human trafficking and other forms of exploitation.
It can be eventually worth all the pressure, but the loss of natural networks of support, such as family and friends, or facing daily racism, discrimination, and culture shock can be devastating.
