LANGUAGE…….
The English language no doubt is the universal language of communication and is
spoken in most of the parts of the world. It is remarkable to have a language
that binds the entire world together. A common language for people around the
world to share and express themselves and their ideas to each other. The
language has helped in shrinking the world into a global village.
The problem here is not with the fact that the entire world is making a progress towards learning and communicating in a universal language. The problem here is how accurately are we grasping the aspects of that particular language. The English language has become the need of the hour especially in a country like ours. Indian parents stress on having their children inculcate education in “English” medium schools.
Children and youngsters these days make a constant effort to converse in English with their counter parts. Walk into a coffee shop or pass by a school in the afternoon hours and you will notice groups of youngsters conversing in what I would like to refer to as “The Teenage English”.
Today all of us have somehow or the other managed to learn the knack of conversing in ‘English’, but how many of us can actually claim to speak ‘the proper modern English.?’ An English without any colloquialism or any fancy strings attached? I doubt if even the native English speakers now can boast of conversing in the ‘proper modern English’
