Is English Your Second Language?

The Team from Fraser ACE Adult Community Education

The intricacies of the English language can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you're not accustomed to its tongue-twisting and complex aspects.

Ever wonder why "tooth" becomes "teeth" but "booth" doesn't turn into "beeth"? Or why a "mouse" transforms into "mice" while a "house" doesn't become "hice"?

Don't worry—Fraser ACE now offers new courses designed to enhance your English language skills or help you excel in your IELTS exams! Whether you're new to Aotearoa or simply in need of a refresher, explore our ESOL and IELTS preparation courses. We're here to support you on your learning journey! See our courses!

Poll: Do you think this is probably the reason?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Work changes, divorces and other life events are probably behind many of Waikato’s loss-making house sales, a realtor says.

Recent figures revealed more than 10% properties resold in Hamilton and Waikato District went for less than what the sellers had paid.

Do you think this is probably the reason? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
