The document summarizes an interview with a refugee from Syria who has been in Australia for 1 year and a half. He felt both happy and sad when he first arrived as he missed his friends and country. He found learning the language most difficult initially. When he arrived he was given information about registering for school and services but had to find out other information like details about universities on his own. He advises other new migrants and refugees to learn English as it is important to achieving their goals, and says communities can help them settle by assisting with language challenges.
