Thread: Why do city people underestimate village people's knowledge in English?

I have met lots of people from Capital of Srilanka When they used to talk to me, Are you from this district? I don't think so, But your English is pretty good when comparing ours. It hurts me when hearing these kinds of conversation from those kinds of ****ty people. Please change the way you think & don't underestimate the people by their place/appearance.

First of all remember "English is just another language not a measure of intelligence".
Don't ever feel discouraged of your own self.My advice is that , we only have to feel ashamed if we don't know something related to our mother tongue if it's not the case; just feel free, it's just another language and now you have learned something new in it.

Look at any language other than your mother tongue as a communication medium. You can Learn English by practicing it daily. But for those who think English is owned by them, you don't have to worry. Just leave them.

True words, English is a communication medium for us we can easily learn it by regular practice. There some people who think of themselves as a genius because they can speak English fluently, In fact, they are the biggest jokers as you said we shouldn't worry about them.
