Three years ago, the Miller family moved from Manchester, in England, to Modiin. David and Sarah Miller have three children: Ben, 16, Emma, 13, and Josh, 8.

The first months were not easy. The children studied Hebrew at school every morning, but they still found it hard to follow the lessons. Josh learned Hebrew the fastest. He played football in the park every afternoon, and soon it was his favourite language. Emma was the opposite. She was shy, and she missed her friends in England. She talked to them on her phone every evening.

Ben had a different problem. He was good at maths, but the maths lessons were in Hebrew, so he could not show what he knew. His teacher understood this. She let him write some answers in English.

Today, the family feels at home. Sarah works as a nurse in a hospital in Jerusalem, and David opened a small coffee shop. Emma has new friends, and she even helps new immigrant children at her school. "I remember how they feel," she says. "It's like being in a dark room. Someone has to turn on the light."
