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!!

suka baca entry englishh dia..
dah lama tinggalkan bahasa inggeris,lg2 keje ngan gomen ni..mmg melopong je la bila tourist tanya jalan :p
terer yg org kita selalu ckp tu, lecturer saya cakap, MUNGKIN berasal drpd pekataan 'thorough'. Sebutannya kan 'ta-rhe'. Tapi mungkin la dia kata. Mungkin ye. Bukan confirm betul.
Rasa cam malu bila salah cakap..tu yang membantutkan tu..

saya tak fasih English tapi boleh & suka nak cakap dlm English.
Tapi, masalahnya, sebab saya tak fasih, grammar teruk. Bila bercakap, tersilap, mesti ada orang yang gelak, ejek2,kutuk.
Baik cakap dalam Melayulah kalau tak tahu Eng.
Cane tuh? Tak boleh nak confident.

agree !
suka baca post bloggers yang cakap pasal kesedaran berbahasa inggeris! bagus2.
ENgLish...malasnya nk belajar.
"But when they talk, they don’t “campurkan” their language
like how we Malaysians do. That’s how cool and awesome Malaysians are!"
perli ek? heheh...ke campur2 bahasa dalam satu ayat itu bagus?
we mix languages because sometimes we can't come up with
the equivalent of a bahasa/english word fast enough
thus opting for an easier approach thus mixing the languages..!
and some words can't be directly translated or explained in bahasa...kan? :)
a year ago...a y1 pupil of mine who can't read and speak english...
fluently said, "my name is temulak"..
behold! the influence of entertainment! ;)
plg suka ckp manglish. "u want to eat ka?" haha can accept or not?
promotttttttttttt ohmyenglish lagi:D
it true..dengan menguasai pelbagain bahasa..ia membuatkan kita mudah nak berkomunikasi dengan negara luar ^_^ xda la jadi macam katak bawah tempurung kan...hehe
