From Zero to an Exciting Comeback: Reclaiming English

"Once scoring less than 20% on even the simplest listening exercises, a Đồng Hành scholarship student kept at it, spending at least 5 minutes a day practicing listening with WELE. Today, that same student can score 70-100% on the very first listen and feels far more confident using English. It's not magic — daily persistence is what made the change happen. Heartfelt stories like this one are what keep WELE motivated to keep spreading the joy of learning English to young people across the country, especially those facing hardship. Thank you for trusting WELE and journeying together toward mastering English! ❤️"
