Lilly moved to New Zealand from Cambodia just last year and brings with her a quiet determination and a love of learning. Her first language is Khmer, and although she only had basic English when she arrived, she worked hard on her own—learning through TV, YouTube, and everyday practice.

Since joining the Level 3 Applied General course at DynaSpeak, Lilly has noticed a big change. She says she used to feel shy about speaking, but with the support of her teacher and friendly classmates, her confidence has grown. “The teacher always encourages us to communicate with each other,” she says. “They’re really patient and explain everything clearly.”

Lilly discovered DynaSpeak through a Google search and chose it because the location was convenient—but she’s stayed because of the supportive environment. She’s not just learning English—she’s also gaining a better understanding of Kiwi culture and building new friendships.

Looking ahead, Lilly hopes to study at university and become a teacher herself. With her dedication and growing confidence, we have no doubt she’ll get there!
