Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
You need
to go back to school to relearn English
Is that
just the language that needs to be shared when one speaks to another,? When you
speak to someone in your family, school or work place, you share a lot in
common, such as history, experience, knowledge, backgrounds and situations. For
example, you can talk about the phrases that are used in a popular TV show or mentioned
by a comedian. You may also use proverbs, metaphors or examples that are
specific to the group or society.
So, it
is often not understood well, or at all, if a native speaker of some language talks
to someone whose mother tongue is different or who doesn’t share the same cultural
backgrounds, in a way or at a speed that he or she usually does to their
friends or colleagues. This is true to even English that is commonly used and also
well learned by non-native speakers.
Now
there are programs to make native English speakers communicate better in
English to non-native speakers.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if you are thoughtful to speak to someone whose mother
tongue or dialect is different from yours.
