Most Community Colleges offer free ESL classes. Check the online websites of the schools closest to you. Also, see if there is a CELTA teaching center that offers free classes. These are the classes that the CELTA trainees teach for their teaching practice. Try to find an English conversation group for him to join too. He will meet new people who are also learning English in a relaxed atmosphere.

My fiancé speaks very little English and we plan for him to attend ESL classes for the whole first year after we are married. We are lucky to be in a position that he won't have to work and can look for jobs once his English is proficient. It's really important that your husband use his English as much as possible and not rely on his first language or his development in English will be delayed. I say this as both a language learner myself and as an ESL teacher.

Good luck.

Thank you very much.

"A million years if I could live,
A thousand lives if I could give,
I would spend it all again with you,
Don't forget where you belong,
Only with me you are strong,
Not even the gods above can break,
Baby what we have"

My hubby wouldn't go to the barber shop alone, either, at first. Now he has no problem going alone. He was worried about his English, but he relaxed after he realized people could understand him well
