I can speak more smoothly!

"Thanks go to H.T. for introducing this new way of learning English by using different words like “at,” “and,” “to,” “with,” “on,” “in,” etc.

On my side, I had lots of fun learning with the Ollie booklets. Now, I can use different words, especially those small words that I had never used correctly. Now, I can use them effectively. For example, the word “at” is used to show the position or place where someone or something is doing something. Or it can show the number or amount, price, temperature, size, or speed. It’s the same for other small words like “on,” “with,” “and,” and “to.” I can now use them correctly, compared to at first, when I hadn’t studied or learned these small words.

From these booklets, I succeeded in gaining the ability to write different texts correctly. Also, I can speak more smoothly in different conversations, inside and outside the class.

I can understand what someone is saying without any trouble. It is easy to understand what someone means without contradiction because these small words can make someone understand or not understand, depending on the nature of the communication between the two sides.

Lastly, thanks go to the author, Megan Tucker, for discovering this new way of learning English."

Gives me the motivation to learn English!
"Thank you, Megan Tucker, the author of this Ollie booklet! I learned a lot from this program, which helped me to improve my English.

I apply it and will apply it confidently everywhere.

I’m very attracted to learning English with booklets like these, which have cartoons and different pictures. It’s so fun for me, and this gives me the motivation to learn the English language.

I will apply this knowledge in the classroom, at home, and in my daily life. Thank you!"

Thank you for the Ollie booklets!

"I want to thank the author, Megan Tucker, for writing these booklets. Because of these Ollie booklets, I am learning many things and a lot of those things help me to increase my knowledge and skill in communicating.

These booklets help me communicate better and finish communications without questions, so I can use my language very easily. That makes me feel very comfortable.

Also, the booklets help me to use words. They give me a lot of vocabulary and this improves my English very quickly. So now I can use as much vocabulary as possible.

Thank you for the Ollie booklets. I enjoy the lessons a lot."

Our Students are Very Excited About the Program

"On behalf of our school, KILIMANJARO GENIUS ACADEMY, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the knowledge gained through the Ollie the Elephant booklets, which enabled us to build a strong foundation of English language literacy.

Firstly, the OLLIE training has enlightened me as the head teacher of this school and as the first person to receive this privilege in Tanzania, and now I’m transferring it to my colleagues. So far, I can stand and express ideas confidently, adhering to the basic foundation received from the booklets. I have realized that it’s just smaller words, which most people ignore, that matter in language, not bigger words.

Secondly, my team members (teachers) are very grateful for the skills they’ve gained, which they pass on to students in our classrooms. Seven teachers have benefited from this program; therefore, they are passing it on to more than 10 students in our school, from Primary 1 to Primary 4. So far, teachers are experiencing a drastic improvement in their English as they are using most of the words learned in their daily communication and classroom instruction.

Lastly, our students are very excited about the program and always very active when Ollie’s time comes. The simple language, examples, and clarifying cartoons and pictures used in these booklets help our students learn quickly and enthusiastically.

When communicating among themselves and in class, students can apply the words they have learned in the different ways shown in the booklets.

We hope that this program will change our school and our country, Tanzania, as far as the English language is concerned."
