English was the tough nut to crack in my boards. Given rural background. When joined college I was surprised to notice that people were not only talking in English but even listening songs in English. Down the line I found funny that those things once made me worried. Life.

Somehow a mixture of English medium early on and then Bengali med and again English had made me proficient in both the languages. I use to help my class mates, removing their English phobia. A consultive reading of news paper actually did the trick. Some scored better than me

English alphabets – A,B,C.. were taught after std 6 in Government schools.

When I had joined English medium school, I had to hold my toilet for 3 periods(3hours) because I couldn’t say – May I go to Toilet, Madam.

I studied in a Convent but at home we spoke only Hindi. So it was tough in the beginning to become fluent in English. Still remember some hilarious moments from my college days. But now I can taak English and waak English.😎

This fear/love for English ruining many talents.
People feel inferior to someone speaking English.
We made english not a language but a symbol of intelligence. That’s highly ridiculous.

I experienced this when I was quite young. I did my play way and KG from a very normal public school where teachers used to communicate in hindi and even at home everybody used hindi and haryanvi but then I was shifted into a convent school and there things were really different https://t.co/W33lEAg9AC
