In earlier blogs we discussed about the difference between English language and Communication. To communicate good with your audience you need to connect comfortably and pass your message in short and simple way. you don’t need to know English language unless your audience understands only English.
But with advance in technology and India’s contribution to the global market, it is easy for us to provide service or sell goods to people on other side of the world. In this case knowing English is kind of essential.
Lot of my friends argue,
- what difference does it make if you think in English or Hindi, you can think faster and better in your mother tongue language. it doesn’t have much impact on your English communication skills.
It might be true that thinking in your local language may yield quick results. But it doesn’t really help in improving your communication skills.
When you think in your local language, you need to put effort to translate that in English and speak from your mouth. But when you think in English language, it becomes easy for your to repeat it through your mouth. it helps improve your vocabulary and grammar skills. And most important English words start naturally coming out of your mouth. you don’t have to put lot of extra effort to improve your communication skills. and mot important of all, you will feel more confident as thinking in the language you are going to speak, gives you the feel of rehearsing and practicing it.
Watching English movies or long running series, and reading books are some of the activities you can follow that will help you think in English language and improve communication.
