INTERVIW

I coming from Guatemala, but I’m adopted to Denmark when I was 4 yrs old and I was with the family that adopted me for 6 months and then I’ve been around since to I be 18 and I’ve been high school.

…then I’ve been around some schools but I was not that staying that long time and then I become Muslim (Allhamdullilah) and then I was in there for 6 months and learning about Islam.

and then go back and then I was 1 week in Denmark to clean my house and then I come back to England here and stay.

…..writing a little difficult some times…reading is ok but sometimes some problems. I’m not that good to reading or writing some language only speaking. For me it’s most important to speak an write and read.

….I was in Denmark in 4 class you begin to starting learning English but I did not learn writing and reading that much because we was playing lot of time…it was more speaking an it was learn.

…I wake in the morning on my bed 8 o’clock to 4 o’clock with the kids in the kinder garden afterwards and then I have free for 1 hour and then 1 hour after I was going and clean in the kinder garden.

Q: Tell me about your convertion to islam

….if you were thinking of before, sometimes you didn’t know why you did things or why it happens and then you was thinking sometimes why you here…and you not have patience and you didn’t know what to do and then I have a lot of problems before and then there was one that was learning me about Islam and afterwards I was hear about it and then I want to go in there to Islam because it was easier for the life and then afterwards I get much better you know belax (relax) more, and not thinking that much except on Islam and get knowledge. There is God who He is the creator. What that happens something difficult then you know why and try to get patient with it.

Overall, she seems quite successful at communicating; the sentence structure per se is reasonable.

(Conversion is spelt thus.)
