English
Not so long ago i made this english blog for my english friends. I write the same thing here as i do in my swedish blog.
My english isnt flawless, minor miss spellings here and there. But who cares really? I do the same spelling mistakes in english as i do in swedish. As long as my message gets through im happy. Last night i was lying in bed and i started to think about this. My own experience surounding teenagers today when they use english.
"My english is bad. Me so stupid"
I cant understand why people pick on themselves, Only because you have a problem with spelling or even learning a language doesnt mean that you are stupid. You can be the greatest in math but still have problems with spellings. Does that make you stupid?
We all have different skills and flaws and i think that somehow we all complement eachother in one way or another, One persons skill can be another persons flaws. And our flaws can become a skill with the help of another.
After ive done my contribution in english i always ask one of my friends to read it to see that i do get my point across. As long as i dont make mistakes that make whole sentences unable to understood i dont mind them.
Im not english and my english isnt flawless but im proud to have the guts to use it openly.
When i was younger and me and my parents went traveling abroad i always thought it was embarrassing to hear my parents speak english. and im sure alot of you have thought the same. but they dont back down. they use the english they can and they get their point across.
If you look at that generation and the older generation, their english isnt the best but they use it and they dont see any problems with it.
What is it that keeps our generation back then? Our knowledge in english are better then our parents but still we feel ashamed of our flaws. That we cant spell all words and not pronounc everything right.
Not even english people can spell everything!
You can make your point across and thats all that matters.
Go speak english people!

Jag läste det här inlägget för flera veckor sedan och jag måste säga att jag tycker det var så bra skrivet, jag bär med mig det i min vardag och jag har tom använt det som ett exempel när jag prata med folk och vi diskuterat det engelska språket, bra skrivet! Jag tog då åt mig och Tack för det. :)
Kram, Merja
