Perbualan Harian Normal English Vs Better English

Kagum dengan budak-budak kecil yang dari kecilnya dah pandai cakap bahasa Inggeris/English. Berhabuk speaking London! Dia punya slang Englih ala Mat Salleh betul. Orang kata melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya.

Tapi dalam masa yang sama bahasa ibunda kita Bahasa Melayu jangan dilupakan. Siapa lagi yang nak memartabatkan bahasa Melayu kalau bukan orang Malaysia sendiri terutamanya orang Melayu. Ikut manapun orang Melayu mesti fasih berbahasa ibunda dahulu. 

Orang Malaysia kebanyakkannya tahu asas bahasa Inggeris. Setakat yes no left right tu tahulah kan. Asalkan ada asasnya pun okaylah. Sekarang pun ramai orang asing suka datang Malaysia. Salah satu faktornya sebab makanan Malaysia sedap-sedap.

Saya suka tengok channel YouTube Kouji Jepun, NobuShun World (Nobu, Shun, Poko), Gink Jepun, Kaz In KL, Blimey (Jade, Dasol dan Yerim) dan TikTok Alwin GC. Seronok tengok orang luar suka dengan makanan Malaysia dan suka tempat-tempat menarik di Malaysia.

Back to back dorang jalan-jalan jelajah satu Malaysia. Kejap utara, kejap selatan, kejap pantai timur, tup-tup dah ada kat Sabah Sarawak. 

Mereka pun dah pandai cakap bahasa Melayu dah. Kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia juga kena improve bahasa Inggeris kita untuk lebih mudah untuk berkomunikasi dengan orang luar. Memudahkan kita juga bila melancong keluar negara. Bolehlah acah-acah fasih English.

Dari normal English ke better English. Saya kongsikan beberapa contoh perbualan harian normal English vs better English.

Dalam komunikasi ni asalkan kita faham tu dah kira bagus dah. Jangan macam ayam dan itik. Memang tak faham lansung. Jadi, perlu adanya asas. Broken English ke grammar berterabur pun takpe dalam komunikasi ni janji faham. Tapi jangan salah grammar dalam essay pulak ye.

Lepas ni bolehlah improve better english pulak. Kannn…
