the controversy starts.( see the comment on the previous post).
But I always welcome controversy and fair criticism.And ofcourse if I make a mistake, that should be correceted.I am not afraid to admit my mistake and apologise if I say something wrong.
Also the person making the comment seems to have personal experience of some behaviour pattern of the Bengalis.Fair enough.They also seem to care enough about the Bengali people to mention what they mentioned.
I thank you for your comment and welcome you and expect you to contribute more in future.
But you do not actually mention how the statistics you found on Wikipedia varies to what I mentioned.Please tell us what it is and please tell us what is Bangla's real position in the league table.I am willing to accept the fact and mention it here if that's genuine.
Though Bangla is my mother tongue, I am not a fanatic or emotionally so attached to it that I would get in to a fight over it.
If Bangla's real position is 154th in the league table of world languages, I am willing to publish that fact on these very pages.No problem. I agree that Russian is a great language and in my school days I had the good fortune of reading some Russian literature( translated in to Bengali ofcourse; I can't read or speak Russian). I have great respect for the Russian people and their history and culture.There have been so many great scientists, Music composers,and writers from Russia that is really admirable !
I also accept what you mention about Bengalis speaking English amongst themselves.But if you look at it the other way, you should admire Bengalis for being able to speak other languages.It's a great skill to be multilingual, isn't it?Like the English have realised recently that they are not good with foreign languages where as the Europeans are.Lot of the Europeans (e.g. the Dutch and the Swedish ) speak more than one language. Some of them speak four.Its a great ability to be able to communicate with others in their own language.Like you yourself have the advantage over me in the sense that you can speak my language but I can't speak yours.Have you not got the edge over me there ?
Enough said about that. Now today I actually want to mention something else to the readers of this blog.Lot of the readers contact me asking me how to get in to interpreting profession.But really they are looking for a way to earn some extra money. keeping that in mind I want to mention how you can earn some money without any risk and just for treating yourself.
