Community ed centers help English learners break the ice(olation)

If you ask the students of Keene Community Education's English program what was most challenging about moving to New Hampshire, most offer the same answers: The cold, and the isolation.

The long winters are something the students have more or less gotten used to. But the feeling of being alone in a brand new place can take longer to overcome, especially since, in the students' experience, locals are sometimes slow to warm up to newcomers.
