About the English Language
The English language is a means of communication.
It doesn't divide, but unifies!
English is a tool meant to unite us, not divide. It enables us to converse with people from different countries using a common language. It's like music. It doesn't matter who composed it or in which country. What's important is how it speaks to us and what it conveys.
The whole world speaks English, and every country has its specific version of English, its own English expressions, and slang. English is spoken a little differently in every country around the globe
We all fear making mistakes. We're afraid of embarrassing ourselves. That's why we set high standards for ourselves to speak English perfectly.
-
There's no reason to be ashamed of your English. We're all in the same boat. We want to communicate and be understood.
-
It's not about speaking English perfectly. Speaking English perfectly doesn't guarantee that others will always understand you. If you know and understand the basics, it's not a problem to comprehend a whole sentence, even if it contains slang or a local expression for a specific thing.
-
Don't expect to understand 100% of someone's English in every situation and conversation with every foreigner, and don't expect everyone to understand you perfectly either.
-
To be able to communicate, all you need is to learn the basics - the framework. Local phrases and words can be picked up on-site, through contact with a specific country. Ultimately, it's about whether the person you're talking to wants to understand you.
-
The positives: being able to communicate, share thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Treat English as an adventurous journey. You never know who you'll meet on it, what new things it will bring you, and what it will teach you.
It's up to you how much you want to learn. How far you want to go is up to you. There's no ultimate goal of perfection in English, and it doesn't exist. All it takes is the desire, diligence, and actively using English every day.
