Today’s Journal
Prompt: Write about a moment this week when you solved a problem in English.
Yesterday I speak with my manager and I explain the problem. I was nervous but I did it.
That is a strong moment. You can say, “Yesterday I spoke with my manager and explained the problem.” You were nervous, but you still used your voice. What helped you feel brave?
The Mountain View Community
Same building. Same Saturday. Four different windows.
Each book is complete on its own — but the characters live in each other stories. Maria hangs Diego's family photo on her wall without asking. Lin cries in the hallway and Maria opens her door. Ahmed helps Lin move the bookshelf. Amara hears Diego's music at midnight and knows someone else is also awake. Read all four and you will know this building the way a real neighbor knows it.

What is a Language Buddy?
Your Buddy is one of your neighbors from The Mountain View Community in Denver. You already know their story from the weekly readers. Now you can talk with them directly — in English.
Speaking, listening, and writing all happen naturally through the conversation. Reading happens too — every time you read your Buddy words back to you.

Guided Mode
Follows your weekly class theme and reader story. Your Buddy picks up where the story left off.

Conversation Journal
Your conversation carries over. Come back tomorrow and your Buddy remembers where you left off.

Teacher Feedback from Teacher Althea
Week 1 Project · My Introduction Video
"Your introduction was warm and clear. I loved the detail you included about your family. Your use of present tense was strong throughout. For Week 2, focus on adding one or two connecting words like 'and,' 'but,' and 'because' to make your sentences flow together."

Every class, every week. Your classmates are counting on you.
Try — even when it is hard.
Mistakes are welcome here. Every try is a step forward.
Respect every classmate.
Different countries, languages, stories — all equally welcome.
Practice with your Buddy.

What we promise you
You will always feel safe here.
No shame. No put-downs. This is a place where it is safe to try.
Mistakes will be handled with care.
Teacher Althea corrects gently — with encouragement, never embarrassment.
Your culture is valued here.
Where you come from is something to celebrate, not hide.
