lindbergh Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I am not a native English speaker. However, we use English a lot here in my country. It is used formally in business meetings, transactions and is the primary language used in teaching in school. It is even sometimes merged with my native language. It is the universal language so I think that everybody should learn to speak English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AExAVF Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Good grammar is very important for an English speaker, whether he is a native speaker or not. Admittedly, I am more fluent in English than my own native tongue, and besides, I feel more comfortable speaking in English especially during formal classes. Most of the time though, I speak in the vernacular, especially with members of my family.When it comes to doing official and business correspondence, good grammar is a must. Since I'll be joining the government service soon, it is very indispensable that I possess a good grasp of the English language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I live in a country that has English as the primary language, and it's widely used along with our native language, and over here, it can affect your chances of landing a job or at least looking articulate when you don't know how to speak English. So over here it's quite important to have a good command of the English language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
