--Mailorder English--
Mui Tran, 58 is learning "survival" English by reading daily from the Sears catalog, the textbook for his class at Tacoma Community College. But the former tea farmer from the high mountains of Vietnam is quickly learning why so many people call the mail-order catalogs "wishbooks." Like his classmates in 90 similar classes in Washington, Tran's inability to speak English is barring him from finding a job.
