Some people received me when I arrived but I didn’t know the language and it was difficult for me to communicate with them. Not being able to understand others and to express myself made me feel weak. Fortunately, there was a man from my country who was a cultural mediator and spoke my language; talking with him helped me to receive basic information to fulfil my primary needs and also to learn the essential words of the new language. I also attended language courses and the certificates that I received at the end where very useful when l was looking for a job.
