My mom is a British citizen who originates from Nepal.
My father was English and about 25 years ago when he worked in Nepal he met my mom and eventually after 5 years they moved to the UK. Now my mom never learnt English because my dad spoke Nepali and she was a house wife.
We had a good business but it all went downhill after the death of my father and we hardly have any money.
Now I am 18 and my mom is 53 and she is on jobseekers allowance. Because of her language skills I am the one who does job searches for her so she can still get her benefits. But I plan on going to university to another city and I won’t be able to carry on looking for work for her and filling in the forms!
I am scared that since she can’t read English and search for some sort of job, they will obviously cut her benefits as she has to show proof of job searching – and that will cut off her rent and income.
Then she will be homeless and I will be a university trying to survive on little money myself!!
What advice would you give me??
Do you think if I explain this to the jobcentre they can let her off? I doubt it – please advise me
Update:No we live in the UK - i was born here
My mom can't go back to nepal
She doesn't really have any higher education qualifications - just secondary school (which was like 40 years ago) and she doesn't have the copies of them :/
I've been job searching for her for the past year and she never gets accepted :/

It is best to teach her simple english, enough to get her a job. The Chinese shop near me has two people working at it. Only one of them speak English, but the other lady translates. Maybe if your mother has any siblings, them and your mother could start a small buisness. Or maybe your mother can go on the Internet and find a friend who can speak both languages, and they could start a business. Good luck <3
If you are applying for her in Nepal, I think it is not necessarily required to speak English,unless if you are applying at call centers or any professional office works which requires a Diploma or Certification that will show that you are a Degree holder, what are the qualifications of your mother? The work for her will depend of her qualification.
in the beginning, you're needing this for the incorrect reason. this is frightening to work out that the sole reason you want your mom to get a job is so which you're able to have your on my own time. yet this is besides the component, in case you want your mom to earnings English, why do no longer you are trying assisting her. tell her which you're basically going ot communicate to her in English for the period of dinner and he or she has to respond in English. permit her comprehend the kind you're feeling, yet be carefule approximately it....do no longer call your mom lazy, because of the fact staying at homestead cooking and cleansing for you and your father is an entire time interest. she isn't lazy, she is construction a house to your loved ones so which you have dinner on the table once you get homestead. the perfect element you're able to do for her s communicate along with her and open up regarding the kind you're feeling, yet be sure you're doing it for the properly suited reasons. additionally, are you waiting to scrub and help get dinner waiting while your mom gets a job, because would be your duty on the grounds which you are the single homestead first.
