ଇଂରାଜୀ କେବଳ ଗୋଟିଏ ଭାଷା...

ଆପଣ ଯଦି ଏହାକୁ ଠିକ୍‌ରେ କହିପାରୁନାହାନ୍ତି ତାହାର ଅର୍ଥ ହେଉଛି ଆପଣ ନିଶ୍ଚି ତ
ଭାବେ ଆଉ କୌଣସି ଏକ ଭଷାକୁ ଭଲଭାବେ ଜଣିଛନ୍ତି...ସେଥିରେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିପୁଣତା ଅଛି...ହୁ ଏତ ତାହା ଆପଣଙ୍କର
ମାତୃ ଭାଷା ହୋଇପାରେ ବା ତାହା ହିନ୍ଦି , ତେଲେଗୁ,ତାମିଲ୍ ବା ସେହିପରି ଆଉକିଛ ି ଭାଷା ହୋଇ ଥାଇପାରେ...ଏହା
କହିବାର ମୂଳ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟ ହେଲା speaking English is no big task…do not take it seriously…just learn it
in a fun way…୧୯୯୮ ମସିହାରେ ମୁଁ ଯେତେବେଳେ ଟିକାବାଲି District Institute for Education and
Training ର ଛାତ୍ରଟିଏ ଥିଲି ସେତେବେଳେ ସେହି ଅନୁ ଷ୍ଠାନର ଜଣେ ସ୍ୱନାମଧନ୍ୟ ଅଧ୍ୟାପକ ଥିଲେ ସେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ସ୍ୱର୍ଗତ
N.Gochi..ସେ କହୁ ଥିଲେ...If you can speak only one language in the world, then you can speak
any language in the world….ତେଣୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଭିତରେ ଦକ୍ଷତା ଅଛି କିନ୍ତୁ ଇଂରାଜୀ କହିପାରିବା ଏକ ଭିଡ କାମ
ବୋଲି ଭାବି ଆପଣମାନେ ନିଜର full potential ବା ପୁରା ଶକ୍ତିର ଉପଯୋଗ ମୂଳରୁହିଁ କରିନଥାନ୍ତି...

ଇଂରାଜି କହିବା କୌଣସି ବ୍ରହ୍ମ ବିଦ୍ୟା ନୁ ହଁ....It is easy like ABC…If you are staying in India then by
default you know a lot of English words…. ମୁଁ କହିବ ି ଇଂରାଜିରେ ଆପଣ ଅନେକ ଶବ୍ଦ ଜାଣନ୍ତି….ତଥାପି
ଇଂରାଜୀ ନ କହିପାରିବାର କାରଣ ହେଉଛି you do not know how to use those words in
meaningful expressions…..ଆଜି ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ education, school and academics
related କିଛ ି phrases and expressions ଜାଣିବା ଯାହା ଆପଣ ମାନଙ୍କୁ parents meeting ହେଉ ବା
parent-teacher conversation ସମୟରେ ନିଶ୍ଚି ତ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିବ....
