Pronounce correctly
Moreover I've seen bad pronunciation makes a man fall in awkward position. When the Bangladeshis go abroad, the first problem they face is linguistic problem. And you know, in our country there are many educated and aged people who are working in government and non-government sectors. They are doing high-class jobs but they can't speak English. It is not their fault. This would not have happened if we had tried to speak English at home. The most important thing is the use of language.
Okay, let me clarify this. If I'm not mistaken, the cause of this problem is that; we don't speak English, thus we can't pronounce the words correctly, and this is the root of all hazards. We've to create a congenial environment first. We need to use the language. When we were in Holy Cross School, we always tried to communicate in English among our friends circle even if our vocabulary were not that rich. And thats why it was not a big problem for us to talk to the teachers. Even if HC is not English medium school but the environment helped us a lot. However, time has passed, situation has changed, and we don't have those friends beside.
After a long time DS has helped me to use the language, and now I see, with the help of DS and voice chat I'm being able to improve my linguistic ability again.
The main problem is we don't speak English, we don't have the environment, our vocabulary is weak, we can't devise the sentences easily and we hesitate if anybody laughs at our mistakes.
The most amusing thing is, our new varsity friends speak Hindi (blessing of the daily soap?) very fluently. But when we tell them to speak English, they make faces as if we've given them a Herculean task. We should use English in our everyday life to overcome the obstacles.
