Hi
This has become the most popular discussion and I thought of adding some more to it. I recently developed a PPT for spoken English class and conducted a crash course also. Most of the people in India wish to speak english fluently.People always believe they are right and will find fault with the others.A person from north India will say south Indian accent is bad. English is English. If learned properly one will have a international accent. If we require it or not, depends on our personal interest. But never learn accent from a person but get it from spoken dictionary.
I chose to learn English properly and I do have an international accent. This helped me to get noticed in international and national forums. Language is imitation. Birds and animals communicate and they learn it by imitating. Human beings also learns in that way. Thats why we say our own languge as mother tongue. We learned it from our mother.
The more proficiant we are the more successfull we would be. One can set their own standard. This is truely personal and I respect all the views shared by all the memebers. In Asia Indians has a strong command in English compared to the rest of Asians. Our English helped us to compete with China in many areas. Hollywood movies aired through various channel are influencing us if we see it regulerly. I feel that is good.
English was a barbarious language when our ancestors spoke Sanskrit. But English is well developed over centuries. Interntionaly people aspire to speak this languge. There are economic factors also in this. What I believe is the globe has become very small becasue of technologies, and ease of access to different countries. So one has a increased scope to explore opportunites internationally.
When we can get a talking advanced learners dictionary on your mobile phone, and if we use it as a time pass even, it works wonders. English is the language people fall in love with. Then learning it becomes a liking not a burden.
There are more than 50,000 idioms and phrases in English, and knowing those idioms popularly used will sharpen our langauge. And lot many proverbs which can finish even a everlasting conflict. I believe languge is not just to communicate, its also to impress the other person and influence him. How ever each person is different and they will have their own view. Nothing is wrong or right. Its all about our own response to anything.
