What Are the Issues That Stop You From Speaking English Fluently?

[quote]No necessary i remember once i went to Bhatinda in Punjab and i really struggled to communicate with people as there people don't know Hindi.Even on the buses the place name and number used to be written in Punjabi.

Actually many villagers are still now illiterate and don't know Hindi.In town I think all know one extra language either Hindi or Eng.[/quote]

NO we can't say that they were illiterate as knowing another language Hindi or English i don't consider it to be a part of education.Its their will that they want to learn another language.But they must know our national language at least as they are part of this nation. :laugh:

Knowing hindi is not a big issue .speaking english is big issue and i think illetrate person can't speak english.................... :woohoo:

Most of the Chineses don't speak English do you think they all are illiterate. :laugh:

My father can't speak English much but he did diploma in Electrical Engg and retired from DESU from higher post.I don't think he is illeterate. :blink:

If someone don't know English we cannot say him illeterate because in many schools still all the subjects they read in Hindi and don't give any prefernce to English. :blink:

My dear i am agree with your point and i am sorry if your emotion gets hurt.But my aim is to say illetrate people can't speak english and this does't mean if Some literate person not speaking english he is illetrate..............And you are talking about china this is another language we are talking about english.................. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Why we talk of English only then when our national language is HINDI?. :evil:

Will it be true if i say that you can't speak Chinese so you are illetrate?. :woohoo: I can't say it because i know that knowing Chinese is not all necessary. :laugh:

But i know we have made English language such that we have made a mentality that those who don't know English are illiterate which is wrong in my opinion. :)

I don't know why you feel and give so much importance to it.I don't know spoken English but i am an engineer and i don't think you can say an engineer to be a illiterate :laugh: and if you say it then you don't know the meaning of literacy. :laugh:

The thread is about English speaking and difficulties in that. Nobody says that ignorance of English speaking amounts to illiteracy. If you are proficient in spoken English, this is okay. Help others to gain similar proficiency. If you are not proficient in spoken English and also not interested in gaining that, there is again no issue. Nobody will say that you are illiterate only for deficiency in spoken English skill.

Hindi and other Indian languages have their own significance. But this is right to get skill in spoken English also.

Most Germans, French, Japanese, Chines and Spaniards know to speak in English well but for the sake of their own mother tongue they use their mother tongue only.

I give too much importance to this point because when i start search job i will be rejected because my speaking english is slightly weak...................

Most of the states of heads while speak to address press or any gathering in other countries while on tour speak in their own languages through translater despite knowing English fully well.

English has distinct status in India like other countries. English is associate official language of Indian Government and also official language of Nagaland, an Indian state.

Let us restrict ourselves to the theme of obstacles in English speaking and not go astray.

They understand english is the common language and everyone understand immediately .................

No you are wrong the illiterates cannot understand it they will feel so much difficult for understanding this.

I give too much importance to this point because when i start search job i will be rejected because my speaking english is slightly weak...................

I hope you may improve spoken English just by using shorter sentences. Let me correct your sentence above:

I may be rejected in job interview. My spoken English is a little weak.

You may improve your speaking skill. If you have good skill in your job or trade, I hope, you will be selected. Just improve your job skill and attend interview courageously. Spoken English is not more important than your job skill. To elucidate, i am a tax professional. My tax knowledge is more important than spoken English skill.

Ya English ha its own important and we should stop talk about this matter...............

They understand english is the common language and everyone understand immediately .................

No boody sees our profeciency in English during an interview i don't speak much in English and never got rejected in any interview :woohoo: but i agree one should be moderate in it and should understand at least if someone says something in English. :) But thats for sure no one can be rejected in the interview for not speaking well in English unless that interwiew is of an English teacher. :woohoo: I would like to advice you to try to be expert in your area that will help you better. :) :whistle:

Thanks for advising me and i try to remove my weakness and get selected as soon as possible................

You are absolutely correct. It is need-based. If one doesn't need to speak in any other language than Hindi in real life, where is the need for him or her.As you so logically maintain that knowledge or ignorance of English has hardly anything to do with one's literacy status.

That was what I was trying to establish, I am not saying that one should not learn it or master it since this is the official contact language of our country but, if some one is not good enough, he should not be taken as illiterate.

Ya i am agree with you may be someone has not craze for learning english.But this doesn't mean he/she is illetrate.....

Whether to learn it or not is one's personal choice but whatever one wants to learn must be driven by a desire to do well - if not excel!
