Bahasa Inggrismu Payah (Kecakapan Bahasa Inggrismu Tidak Bagus)

Ketika kita berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris,kita selalu dituntut kata-katanya tak boleh salah dan harus selalu harus sesuai dengan tata bahasanya,sedangkan kebanyakan dari mereka menunjukkan ketidak-lancaran dalam bahasa setempat.

Memang benar,mereka yang adalah petutur asli Bahasa Inggris mendapatkan keistimewaan,karena bahasa mereka adalah bahasa pergaulan antar bangsa/manca negara,yang pada akhirnya mereka jadi malas mempelajari bahasa setempat.

Sementara itu Bahasa Inggris mendapat keistimewaan sebagai bahasa mancanegara yang menyebabkan beberapa penutur asli Bahasa Inggris,merasa malas atau mempunyai kesadaran rendah pada keberagaman bahasa.

Sebelumnya ada orang yang berkata"aku menduga Bahasa Inggris,bukan bahasa pertamamu","Bahasa Inggrismu tak lancar",sayangnya orang itu tak mau menghargai bahasa setempat dengan cara mempelajarinya dan mencoba menuturkannya.

Kebanyakan orang yang adalah penutur asli Bahasa Inggris punya kecenderungan seperti itu,langsung menghakimi orang yang bukanlah penutur asli Bahasa Inggris dengan cara seperti itu.

Sayangnya pemikiran itu kemudian diikuti pula oleh orang-orang yang sebenarnya bukanlah penutur asli Bahasa Inggris,ada perasaan lebih pintar jika bisa berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris.

Kemudian dia berkata"Profiency Your English Is Not Good"(Bahasa Inggrismu Kurang Lancar),dalam hati,aku berkata"Bahasa Indonesiamu juga jelek"😁
