Broken English: Every Indian Kid's Ordeal | Esha Manwani | TEDxHLCC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2018
- A lot of kids are judged for their inability to speak correct English. Esha Manwani couldn't speak English until she was 15. How is she giving this TEDx Talk today? A proactive, self-motivated woman who has worked as Senior Lead - Brand Collaborations, Terribly Tiny Tales; Partnerships and Strategic Alliances Manager, Housing.com; Content Associate, Zomato; Account Executive, Hanmer MSL and Junior Staff Writer, Haymarket Sac Publishing India, only to quit all of those and get into a business of hers. With a passion for literature, she has beautifully drawn a parallel between her personal relationships and her career in her talk at TEDxSayajigunj. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
In India, people treat English like it's another branch of science...

Yes yes yes!
The best comment I ever read 😂😂
People fail to understand that "English is just a language " but sadly people compare it with your intelligence.
@y2kuber It's not necessarily related to intelligence when it comes to second languages.
non fanatic language
@Sadhna Choudhary so true 🤣
@Sadhna Choudhary because the audience is english speaking ?????????????????
@Sadhna Choudhary your comment is ironic because your grammar is terrible

I have been in her shoes too ..in my case it was my maths teacher ,she said am unfit and had low IQ and that's why I am a doctor now with psychology PhD!!
Good sister keep it up
Respect++👍
👏👏👏👏
Wowww 😚
May be you had low IQ at that time , therefore your teacher had told about you☺️
I wish your English teacher saw this.

Helly can you please review Love in the Time of cholera by Gabriel García Marquez
think high I am sure its a great book...he is the greatest magic realism writer after all
😂
Hi
My teacher said I will not pass 10 board exams, I passed 10th , completed my Bsc. Nursing and I'm working in US now, through all this God was with me... never give ear to these kind of people.
I liked your comment for your optimism... But as for your teacher, perhaps he/she was motivating you from a negative perspective...
Nevermind, just saying. 😉
Much more than anything, tge teacher's negatuve aporoach gave you courage to pursue your studies more vigilantly, if you remember correctly. Itoo had such adverse comment from my language teacher decades back but I didn't even mind it but ensured that I pass the board exam.
You believed yourself, I think our self is teacher for us. So mind is mater
Brilliant!! This is how people should react to such bogus and humiliating claims, do and prove!!❤️❤️

I don't know why it felt so connected to me. Feels like that's the same I had to go through my life.
When I was 12 , I had to give a speech on 'Importance of Discipline for Student' on stage in an annual program.When I went to stage, I couldn't speak more than two words "Respected teachers...". I was dumbstruck. I wasn't able to think of a single word apart from 'discipline'. Actually I added two more words, "thank you".
And rest the same story as she.
Watched UA-cam videos, english news, movies, read english novels, magazines, newspaper, junior classes books, dictionary or anything I found out written in english, even advertisements and papers I got from street food vendors.
Last year in college I was co-host of our Annual Program in which I had to speak completely in english.
I did well. At least that's what I thought. But friends came to me and asked me how my english was so good!?
I was totally perplexed and amazed.
I couldn't know how english words came so natural to me as if I was putting no effort in it.
But as they say "It is only hard till you don't know it".
God Bless
Thank you for sharing.
Like I wrote
Learning with fun.
Please give me some tips.. Like any English books u read or any other tips
U wrote a comment or a easy
Very good...pritam...keep it up..
Bhai kitna time lga tha aap ko Sikhne me
When someone speaks broken english, it simply mean they are learning someting new...
Absolutely right. I am sure you don:t do that, right ?
Language is to communicate. It is common as English is a foreign language.
@@nazifaafsin9652 I can understand hindi Japanese and Bengali but no one cares unless you speak english
It means they know all language
"When you're 14, we don't know anything. And our teachers, they know everything." This is true in our case.. but no more for today's generation.. Both fortunately and unfortunately..
So, I met this guy and while we were talking I mispronounced a word. I was a little embarrassed because I knew I was using the word in the right context but couldn't pronounce it, before I could say anything he stared started saying something. "You know a cool thing, it's weird how people look down upon other people who mispronounce words, the only way you can actually know when you use a word without pronouncing it when you've actually read it. You don't look down upon people who read "
That was legit one of the nicest thing I've heard someone say.
The guy's a keeper :)
Esha Manwani exactly
One of the best UA-cam comments I've ever read
meghana bhange
Barobar meghna, but the thing is when we start to speaking up then don't care the ppl because they have made for the foolish talking just ignore them and move ahead ur the best.
Our school system never teach us how to speak and listening native speaker... they're following mugging up pattern
So true. More attention needs to be paid on colloquial communication.
Sheryy habib you are right brother
You're soooooo right
Sheryy habib true when I see my younger siblings just speaking English alphabets of particular things out loud in order to learn them for exam ... Then i realised they aren't teaching how to write or speak they are just teaching them how to copy or making them puppets
Trueeeeeee
My English Is broken. But you know what else is?
The school system ➕ the outdated teachers.
Don't worry bro . Keep away from those who make fun of you to those who are willing to help you . Best is to take inspiration from stroy of Eklavya, become teacher or yourself . Don't go for learning grammer or just converting hindi to english rather learn to directly convert your thoughts to english. And nobody is ever perfect .
@@yashdubey7180 thAnx for the idea bruh✨️
True
Bravo. Most teachers let their frustration out on students for their broken career.
I'm 21, still my English is broken 😂 anyone here who is same as me??
I am
Pleasure 2 join u😁
NO........ its just only YOU.....
Yes
I am 25😊
We all look up to our teachers
But when they instead of guiding us being our mentors mock at us ..it shatters the innocent heart
It really did :)
The point she made was awesome: not to be the best but be the best version of yourself. Pretty inspirational.
Thank you!
well, this is a "standard cliche" not an original idea. don't believe me, watch any motivational video on UA-cam, 90% chances are this overused expression will hammer you at least once if not more

Everyone is proud of their language whereas we Indians are ashamed of speaking Hindi.

Not everyone in india speaks hindi. Hindi is not the mother tongue if all indians.
@@finehumanbeing3506 I know, but those who speak other languages are already proud of it, i'm talking about the majority.

Esha if you’re reading this, thanks for showing something so common in schools and colleges. I had a stammering problem too. And I got over it.
Can i talk to you ?
Piyush Kewlani yes of course
Abhishek Haryani I have stammering too
Can you share your contact number or email
Abhishek Haryani can u pls share ur mail id abhishek ?
I really love her confidence
We all should take inspiration from her story👍
great speech. Top Notch delivery. sooo interacting and can relate most of it.
The same thing happened to me. I was humiliated by my teacher in front of my whole class. because of my lack of communication skill. but now I've got pg degree in English.
Very good
Congratulations brthr
i think you are the blood relatives of this overacting girl
wellll....I've gotten***
it doesn't mean that still, you can speak English fluently...Just kidding you
Thank you ..my son is studying in 10th std. He watched your talk 7 times already
Really? That's so flattering
Lol why are u exaggerating.
So what
May be he has crush on her
The delivery of the speech is so attractive and the story telling 👏
I'm here to improve English, Increase confidence and get motivated. Here I feel, this my story. These all are same like me.
Everbody concerned a lot regarding speaking english.. But nobody knows this is the biggest challenge in rural areas...
I don't know English and I m always suffering bcoz of English Mai bhot try Karti hun English bol saku but mujhe bhi English nhi aati iski Wajah me bhot problem face karti hun
Spoken English,not speaking English
My problem is different. I can write in English but can't speak it properly.
Maybe I just lack confidence :(
Do people in the rural areas have good internet access to UA-cam? I want to help people. I have this channel and a podcast. Please, let me help you.
I still remember when I said " I was absent tomorrow " when teacher asked me something.
😊
Aww
Thank god for not saying... "I will absent yesterday" 😂😂
even my students do this
😜
I had the same mathematics teacher when I was in school and she made me to believe that math wasn't my subject. But few years later, I ended up with a degree in Economics and MBA in Finance. Don't forfeit your dreams due to people's opinion on you. You're more than capable!
I searched On UA-cam English lecture ,this is what it came 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was first on the top list
I just randomly came across this video & saw it because of only one reason that is “my name is also Esha ”but eventually I got to listen something amazing and importance of English in today's world !♥
Yes, And you have made a best example for the people who think that they can't speak fluent English. This will give them power to go ahead and improve
Clap clap clap...
Your English teacher got the best out of you! :)
I don't know anything about this girl.... But only thing i learnt here is that .. she has got pure guts in her attitude.... Atleast she is speaking...🙏🙏🍷🍮
This is truly an incredible speech for someone like me who speak broken English, the message that I derived from this speech for me is that " the worse thing that you do to yourself is to refuse to see the flaws you grow up with"......Thank You Esha Manwani.
Thank YOU Fathima :)
How many of you googled up the word "Lisp" for it's meaning? 😅

My English teacher slap me in front of over 50 students when I was in 10 class because my command in English was not good...Now I am working for multinational company and need to speak at least 7 hours in English...I feel piety for that teacher,if she would have explained/teach me rather than slapping me I would speak better at that time...so sad our education system/teachers need to change..
Yeah I think you need another slap because your English is still rubbish. By the way I know for a fact that no teacher used to slap you and that you're lying for internet validation.
still your english is incorrect😂😂

I really feel great that I got an opportunity to hear your story...it is so inspiring ...
First time I seen this type of English speaker..🙏🙏
She speaks English better than I do (native US) I find native Hindi speakers speaking English is one of the beautiful things to listen to! Much love to the presenter! Lovely person and spirit!
Thank you Sinclair
Thanks
You're not freaking American stop the cap and you know wassup 😆
Exactly the same thing happened with me, god bless you ma'am 🙏🙏you're a hope for all of us
I wonder, you just reflected me. Thank you, Esha. I'm Just 16 years old right now. And you just inspired me a lot by this single speech. You're amazing.
No you're amazing :)

Learning English by watching Hollywood movies is a really great idea.
I did that too. It basically helps to learn the conversational English rather the bookish one, like she said, which is very important.
And yes, it's a lot more than other ways!
@Amith Vardhan F.R.I.E.N.D.S helped me improve my sense of humour 😀
Big fan Esha Manwani !!! 😍 You have shown the true reality in such a brilliant manner... 👍🏻👌🏻

Her Speaking skill is so excellent
I'm aggry with you
@@MrRoy-cs2er "I agree with you"..
Quite a remarkable transformation. Kudos to her.
If I were that english teacher, I would've taken her to class12 students and have said "Dear, you're gonna speak better english than their's one day!"
The girl really nailed it. Point is not to be best but best version of you. Accept your flaws and donot be ashamed of. It's okay not to speak good or fluent english. Intelligence can't be measured by a language.
This was an exceptional speech by a girl who has embraced herself and her flaws.
I, too, owe my fluency and command over english to all those English movies out there - starting from "The fast and the furious " to award winning films such as "Everest" OR "Wilson".
The point is, if you have the will to do or learn something, you CAN do it.
And as they say - "Self-education is the best Education"
Absolutely!
I know right. Well it was a bit different for me, I lived in USA until I was 6 and I didn't know any other language except for English so to be able to speak with others I realised I needed to learn hindi( FYI I was living in Ahmedabad at the time). At the same time whenever I watched cartoons pretty much all of them were in hindi and I started watching bollywood as well. It took some time but I now know hindi well enough, and can speak fluently,albeit with a bollywood accent(thanks to the film's). I also have a passion for outer space related sciences and I pretty much learnt everything I know about space from books and UA-cam channels.
I cant even imagine how much you had to work hard to improve your Spoken English.......Your TEDx Talk inspired me a lot...Thanks
Thank you so much
dislikes r from English teachers friends and family.
My teacher told me that when you will become the teacher then you know the problems of teacher but now I'm teacher but I never face any problem yet & definitely i'm teaching better than my teacher ...
I respect my teacher
But I'm applying the principal of learning everyday to teach my students. 😊
Hlw api love u much
I am so happy someone made this video. I have been facing same difficulty and humiliation to this day. I studied throughout in Gujarati medium and we didn't have English till 5th class. In school I was not humiliated since whole school had region medium and I was getting very high score in English as secondary language. I was so proud but then I started working came to South India and here I saw level of English people were speaking. I started watching UA-cam videos and listening to podcast to improve my English. People in my office made so much fun of my English and use to say that I talk like a child. I don't speak professional. My grammar was ok, I was articulating right sentences but I did not have rich vocabulary. I am still working on myself but the biggest disappointment is that we don't see English as language, we see it as mesure of intelligence.
That's really sad to hear.
Hu tamari vyatha samjhu chu
All the best!
All the best to you. My opinion on English being treated as a measure of intelligence is that it should be treated as both because it is no easy task to learn english and be able to speak and use grammar fluently, especially when you have to learn another one as well(>insert mother tongue
😊
I'm 22 and today i came to know that there's something called lisp 😂😂
Join the club
Same here but I am 16 😂😂
Same ..and then I googled its meaning😅😆I am 20
Till now lisp was only a programming language for me.
aastha pandey so there's a programming language too? Am i living under a rock or what? Lol 😂
What an engrossing and inspiring talk!!
Today I am in very tension because of my failure. yesterday I given interview in very famous company in India I rejected because of communication skills and my English is not good. But now I am challenging with my self I will improve and will prove it.thanks for this video
did you get it by now? wanna hear some positive news from you
It's been a long time, how did it work out for you?
@@ravisindhe w²w
See if my videos and podcast can help you! Please do NOT give up!!! Speak slower, at first. Then speed up your speech.
Yes that’s true. A teacher should be more concerned about his skills of teaching than maltreating students
If you understand what a person trying to talk then its okk...wethr its broken or straight😂😂😂😂
Yes 👍😂😅
Exactly
I will have to share this video with my daughters, who are currently 8 and 10 yrs old. They both love to read books, so we started doing book reads on our channel to help them improve their English reading and comprehension skills. Looking forward to your exploring more of your videos. Thank You!
Excellent Presentation .Thank you M🙏🙏

love you for this session Esha! Kids face the same thing across the nation and teachers have been mostly insensitive to this since ages...you put it in such a lucid way...thnx darling !
Hey Aparupa. Couldn't agree more. Thank you for the encouragement :) A friend studying to become a teacher just told me that they showed this video in her class to teach - 'what not to do as a teacher'. I thought that was really cool.
Esha Manwani wow! so another feather in your Cap, great going..more power to you!
Now u r in Ted x.. Bcz of ur passion and self confidence.. Good
I saw many TEDx videos, but this is the best . This inspired me a lot....
I just realised that there are many people with same story as mine. My teacher went physical (held my collar) and humiliated in front of my whole class just because I was not good in english. And I did almost the same thing to excel the language.
We're like two peas in a pod :)
Your English seems fine to me
Truly....this is the problem of every one in two children of our country.....might me mine tooo....;)
Please tell me how you improve your English

Hope my English Teacher would have seen this video!
I like her speech and The way of the expression.
Watching for improving English
I trying to IELTS.
I did my BA in India and I’ve never seen a college student in my country who’s so afraid of a professor before in my life. But Indian college student were.
Which really surprised me.
The point is not to be the best,It is to be the best version of yourself♡♡♡
This was literally amaZing...
What a speech.....u r excellent
Great speech....really inspires me..😊
English is just another language.It's mostly matter of practice not any intelligence. Stop giving it so much importance. People eventually get along and achieve heights of success if they are talented and whether or not they speak fluent English.

Excellent speech
Sis....your speech was very good. I liked watching it, seems like, you got the grip over the language. I think that you had a hard time through them. The feeling which you told for that tiny girl you described is obvious, and I can understand it. There was once a time, where I googled through UA-cam to get command over my language, I was not satisfied. Some had good prounciation , some had voice modulating techniques, but never got a feeling that I am not alone e in this world. Thanks a lot.......
I love people who are comfortable in their own skin

You cannot make English bread out of Indian wheat.
You are my inspiration, i really to listen you and i Lisented this more then 10 time, looking forward for more vedio by you❤

Nowadays most of theteachers are more interested in flaunting their skills than to actually teach and while doing that they just humiliate you rather than encourage you to correct your flaws
This so need to be heard by majority of Indians.
Thanks lots!
