In the 1800s the immigrants coming to America knew that speaking english was their ticket to finacial freedom. Did they speak the english well? Not really, but they did ensure that their kids did. Because they knew that it was important for them to communicate effectively in order to get a well paying job.

How did they learn? Well they didn't have all these programs and classes that they do now and what they did have was too expensive, but they learned the same way anyone else does
