Friends, in today's post we are going to summarize a famous essay by George Bernard Shaw, Spoken English and Broken English  We will discuss whose name is 'Essay Spoken English and Broken English Summary, It is said in the beginning of the essay that there is no type of ideal correct English. No one can speak perfect English, Even if it is English.

George Bernard Shaw starts the Essay by Saying that I propose that all of you are Foreign students and English is not the Mother tongue of none of you but there is a Desire in all of you that you should be able To speak English and understand that if ever You go to a country like Britain or America, You should be able to speak good English in Front of them; if you are students living in Britain, even then after staying in some Regional place your English is not so good that you feel ashamed; if you all know how to speak correct English then they say that whether you are a foreigner or a native

No such thing ideally correct English

I want to teach you a lesson I would like to say only one thing that there is no such idyllic thing with correct English name in this world, even the two Britishers cannot talk correctly to each other, many of you might feel that you will not get the job because your English is not good, it is not so, everyone speaks the language from his own tree, like there are so many states in India, Hindi is spoken in every state, almost I mean Hindi is spoken in most of the states, everyone has their own way of speaking, if you speak from a different tree, then Rajasthan will speak from a different tree, here 

George Bernard Shaw says that I am a member of the British broadcasting corporation committee company I have been appointed for this thing that I should check whether whoever is coming for employment here, his English pronunciation is correct or not, meaning, is he able to speak correct English or not in terms of employment.

George Barnard Shaw Advice to Foreign Students Of English

He Says that the meaning of speaking English is not that you should show yourself different from other languages because we speak English, we are different, rather we should speak English in such a way that the person in front of us can easily understand what we are saying. Here George Barnard Shaw is talking to a child who is learning a foreign language, learning English, to speak English correctly and is planning that whenever I go to England, if I talk to the people there correctly in English, they say that it will not happen like this, those people will never understand you, meaning the English people will never understand you, whenever you ever meet those people, all your misconceptions will be shattered that those people speak very correct English, it does not happen like this even if their main language is English, even then they do not speak correct English, if I talk about London, out of thousands of people in London, 999 people will not understand you like this If you will get perfect English then do those who speak very bad English here 

What does George Barnard Shaw say, do not speak spoken English speak broken English if you speak broken English in front of him then he will think that you are from outside and he will start taking you seriously he will try to understand you, at first if you speak perfect English then he will not try to understand you but if you speak broken English then he will try to understand that you are from outside and will agree to help you if you go in front of him and speak perfect English and if he is unable to understand your English then definitely He will feel humiliated that being from here, I could not understand the language here, then what use am I, on this George Bernard Shaw ends his essay, I hope you have understood
