You can take the Citizenship class from 5 to 6 and then take ESL classes from 6 to 9 to really improve your English.
Are you a Permanent Resident without a high school diploma? You can also take GED classes to get your General Equivalency Diploma. Take the Citizenship Class from 5 to 6 and then GED classes from 6 to 9.
Best of luck to everyone applying for Citizenship and come down to Cobb Adult Education for more information.
