Is English Your Second Language?

The Team from Fraser ACE Adult Community Education

The intricacies of the English language can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you're not accustomed to its tongue-twisting and complex aspects.

Ever wonder why "tooth" becomes "teeth" but "booth" doesn't turn into "beeth"? Or why a "mouse" transforms into "mice" while a "house" doesn't become "hice"?

Don't worry—Fraser ACE now offers new courses designed to enhance your English language skills or help you excel in your IELTS exams! Whether you're new to Aotearoa or simply in need of a refresher, explore our ESOL and IELTS preparation courses. We're here to support you on your learning journey!

Are you waiting for a hip replacement?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We're having a look at wait times and are keen to talk to someone who's on the list to get a hip replaced.

It's an issue that's recently been highlighted in Southland and Otago, with some people waiting up to 18 months.

But what's it like in Waikato? If you're happy to share your experience, please email news@waikatotimes.co.nz with hip replacement in the subject line.
