OH MY INGGERIS!

Assalamualaikum!

Sesetengah orang tidak faham akan kepentingan dalam menguasai Bahasa Inggeris.

Bukan nak cakap English tu penting gila sampai tak reti cakap bahasa ibunda. No!

Bahasa Melayu is important, but being able to speak in English is an added value to everyone’s capability. Sedar tak sedar, perkataan-perkataan dalam Bahasa Melayu kita ni pun kebanyakkannya derive dari bahasa inggeris.

Example:

Terer.

In English is terror, which means an instance or cause of intense fear or anxiety.

But “terer” in malay means hebat, bagus gila, awesome to the max.

Horer.

In English , Horror means an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting; a shuddering fear.

Whereas “horer” in Malay means menyampah, entahpape, geli, dan seumpanya.

ha. Amik.

I don’t know any other countries who do what we Malaysians do: Speak multiple languages in one sentence. Seriously!

Speak tau! Bukan nyanyi! If you notice, kokopops aka kpops ke, Hindustan ke, Turkish ke, they put random English words in their songs so that we, yang tak faham what they’re singing about, can at least understand the English parts. But when they talk, they don’t “campurkan” their language like how we Malaysians do.

That’s how cool and awesome Malaysians are!

So back to importance of English.

Saya, selaku ex-English tutor, memang strongly encourage everyone to try and speak better in English. I know loads of students that are good at writing and answering questions in English but bila nak cakap, takut takut.

Remember, it’s just a language. Kalau berterabur mana pun, it’s still considered cool that you can speak more than 1 language! =D

Oleh sebab saya bukan seorang guru Bahasa Inggeris dan takde la “terer” mana pun, anda anda sekalian boleh tingkatkan lagi Bahasa Inggeris anda dengan menonton Oh My English! di Astro pada 20 May 2012 di Astro TVIQ(channel 610)! Program ni berkonsep komedi dan dibintangi retis retis popular tau! =D

Pergi la ke website mereka dan berjanji untuk bercakap English dengan lebih baik! Hehe!

Saya dah buat daaahhh! Good luck ya!!
