Iam Jithendra a 2005 pass out from the field of IT.Im going to narrate
my real life experience to learn english.

ever thought of the importance that English had got till my 2nd year
in Engineering. There was a north Indian named Amit near my home. He
always used to speak eloquently in English. I and my friends never used
to speak to him becoz we were so afraid to utter a word in English and
we always had the feeling that if one speaks in English others may
ridicule.Even in College the lecturers never used to speak in English.
One day I was passing through the street and I saw Amit
opposite to me . I was afraid to talk to him
and turned my head acting as though I haven't seen him.But he
came towards me and in friendly manner asked about the address for a
shop (in english).Till that time I havent uttered a single word in
English in my life.I told the address to him with a lot of tension.He
said Thank you and left.


I was very upset with this.I felt that If im afraid of speaking in
English before a single person what will be the case where I have to
speak before a gathering.I know that English is must to face interviews
in future and to succeed one must have good communication skills.


All this analysis shooked me with fear. BUT SOME FEAR IS ALWAYS GOOD
BECOZ IT SHOWS WHERE U R LAGGING AND MAKES U TO WORK HARD TO ACCOMPLISH
THE THING IN WHICH U R LAGGING. THIS IS ABT THE POSITIVE FEAR WHICH IS
GOOD.

THERE IS ONE MORE FEAR WHICH IS BAD .THIS FEAR MAKES U FEEL AFRAID
,TIMID AND PREVENTS U FROM DOING ANY ACTION.THIS IS ABOUT THE NEGATIVE
FEAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND BAD.


I now feel that at that time I got the positive fear.I went to my home
and started pondering on how i should learn speaking in english.I went
thru a book in which the moral was "IF U WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH THEN
START SPEAKING IN ENGLISH".I was very much inspired by this sentence
and decided at that movement itself come what might i should learn
English.

Then some doubts came to my mind With whom shall I speak in
English?Till 5:00 pm I will be in my college only.So, I thought I
should speak in

English in my college with my friends and lecturers.


The next day I greeted my friends in English and asked them about some
doubts in the subject in English(faltering English).They were really
getting bored to see me speaking in engish. I felt a lot of shyness and
uncomfortability to speak like that.But i continued to speak in
english.


Some of my friends ridiculed me . Some didn't speak to me saying that i
was posing before the lecturers and girls by speaking in English.This
continued for some days. I was very sad with the happenings.But some
thing made me to feel that Im doing the right thing and I should not
feel ashamed of it.


Then I started to read news paper(Hindu). I couldn't even
understand the headlines of that paper as very high frequency
sounds were being used.I immediately purchased a Oxford dictionary and
started collecting the meanings of difficult words.


Gr adually the idea of speaking in english which started with fear

started looking very interesting to me.


By this time I was in third year.Still the teasings from my friends
continued. By this time I had collected almost 4000 words and learnt
the meanings of them.I started speaking in English with my lecturers
also.There was only a little bit of improvement in my English.But the
thing which made me to move forward was that I was no longer afraid of
speaking in English. After some days my friends started noticing my
struggle and they started speaking in English with me. By this time my
name had become popular thru out the college and even

some of my lecturers appreciated me for my struggle. Some of my
friends who were very weak in English used to ask some tips to me of
how to speak in English? I always used to say that if u want to learn
english then speak english.

My journey continued for almost 3 years and I gradually became
confident with my english.All my struggle was rewarded in the
Final year project work where every one had to give demo on their
project work before the principal,HOD,Staff and students of other
departments(ECE,CSE,EEE,MECH).There was a gathering of almost 350
students.I got the chance to give the demo.I took a deep breath and
stood on the podium.I was a bit nervous for the first 5 minutes.But I
became very comfortable after some time and delivered the demo very
skilfully.

On that
day my H.O.D introduced me to the principal and
explained how hard i worked .My principal
congratulated me b4 the gathering. That was the day
i felt that i hav been honoured for all
the struggles.Now I admit that Im reasonably good at english.


MORAL : IF U WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH THEN SPEAK ENGLISH COME WHAT
MIGHT.

Thank u jithendra...

[preethibijoy]

Good Jithendra, u have good willpower to stay in your decision. Many times i also tried to speak in English, but at the time when i saw one person who knew the local language, i will start chatting with him/her in local language. I knew i have to change this attitude if i really wish to improve my language. After reading this post, i also took the decision to speak in English.
