English Speaking
Every country has its own mother tongue. India’s mother tongue is Hindi but speaking English is essential here too. Even though only UK, USA, Ireland and Canada are considered as the English speaking countries, English as a language is now universally accepted across borders and has now even become a fashion statement. The English speaking accent however differs from country to country.
In India also we can sense the importance of knowing how to speak and understand English even if written English is not known. English however became more “acceptable” and the “in” thing in India with the common Indian more after India’s independence in 1947. Our freedom fighters however had all studied abroad so they were very proficient in this language even before our Independence.
Many courses have come up where an individual is taught how to speak, understand, read and write English. Proficiency is assured at each of these institutes but the program content of each of these differs. Perfection and expressions however come later and with practice. Now with the onset of online accessibility, some institutes even offer online English teaching courses but speaking the language can only be well learnt through regular courses.
The trick in being a good orator is to first of all speak less or when asked to speak because only then do people listen. Anyone who goes on talking is not respected even for her/his wisdom words. Also one should speak short sentences, pause between words and speak slowly as that also brings about an expression in the speech. With practice words keep getting added to ones mental vocabulary list either through words spoken by others or words read across various places. You will be surprised to know that small children learn 10 words every day and that is how their vocabulary builds up.
An amazing confidence definitely creeps in once proficiency is gained in this language. So go for it and change that individual in you from a shy, timid person to one confident kid on the block!!
