English is the number one language of the world. As far as my knowledge is concerned I am too week in English language. My spoken English and English writing both are not up to the mark. The reason behind this was my primary education, which I mainly got in an environment where English knowing persons were too less.
Our mother tongue was Hindi and we did not get the English knowledge till standard seven. So when we got the knowledge about the importance of English language, it became too late to become a master in English language. Although I later studied English in my higher studies and now I can even comfortably talk to some people in English only. I am well aware that my English is poor, that’s why I never try to write some thing big in English.
When I came to professional life then I came to know the other importance of knowing English. I think most of the people are having the same problem. In India, I think I met with lots of people who are facing the same type of problem. Here are a few tips for those candidates who are going to learn English from some one:
#1 Tip: Don’t ever go to learn English from a guy who does not hold any master degree in English language. Also check out if the mother tongue of your tutor is English or not.
#2 Tips: You should check the overall approach of the course material before joining the course. Be aware from the frauds which we generally face daily.
#3 Tips: Check the emphasis of the course which you are going to join on Grammar and Vocabulary. These are the basic backbone of the English Language and you need to become a master in these to become a master in English Language.
It is not so hard to become a good in English language; only thing which is required is the approach in the right direction. There are so many courses available in web industry too which allows you to master the English language in a very short time.

Need of knowledge of English in India!
Feb 23, 2008 Literature
We are living in a competitive global environment. English is an all time preferred language all over the world. It’s the only international language accepted world wide. This only language can provide you a taste of wisdom in today’s world. Communication is a critical quality of a person which enhances his personality and ability. Better communication needs a good knowledge of the language to be used. English has acquired an independent identity across the country. In coming years all the updated knowledge and wisdom will only be available in English only. This is a caution to all non-English speaking people not only in India but world wide.
In India English language is inherited from the British who colonized the country and their language permeated through some of the most important parts of society: the government, the media, the education system, the legal system, and gradually the social sphere as well. India is a vast nation and in terms of number of English speakers, it ranks third in the world after USA and the UK. Around 4 percent of the population use English covering a small number of about 40 million people which controls domains that have professional and social prestige.
People are very emotional and sentimental regarding their regional language in India. They feel comfort and satisfy their ego by talking in their regional languages wherever they go. They can not believe the fact that it can ever extinct easily. But they have to accept the fact that their regional language knowledge is not enough to set their position in the global world. Whatever be the knowledge level and their local position in the area, they have to accept this global language to be a successful person in their field. People who lack English knowledge found themselves very inferior in the run of life.
Though it is not classified as one of the 15 languages of India, English remains the associate official language along with Hindi, which is the official language. In fact English is proffered for speeches and in official letters over Hindi. The reason for this is the large number of languages and that several people are unfamiliar with Hindi. There are several English news channels and many English mews papers are published from almost every state. So there are plenty of opportunities. Old traditions, ethos and even languages cannot help the society to develop in the world of outsourcing and globalization.
Hence there is a great need of knowledge of English for present and coming generations of India. Still racial discrimination can be seen in education which makes the people deprive of knowledge of this language. Only nine of the 28 states and three Union territories in India have introduced English as compulsory subject from Class I.
All modern equipments and job assignments along with latest technologies, websites and wisdom come from US only. There is no other way. With Indian students going to the US in bulk, the American accent will surely plague India. Using American English is a kind of fashion among young generation of India. Yup dude, you’re bang on! D’oh…” etc are the common saying among young Indians.
In higher education English is the premier prestige language. Careers in any area of business or commerce, or within the government, or in science and technology require fluency in English. English should be introduced in primary schools across the country. We must give due importance to English as it is an international language. Only those students who are good in English can perform better in every sphere of their life.
Learn this global language and find the way towards globalization!
