head coach Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Not trying to create same type of Polls here but just curious to know how many speak in their mothertongue or a lanuage other than English. Also if you would be eager to teach your Indian language to your kids? If you are staying in India ofcourse you would but if you are staying elsewhere why? if you are staying alone would you encourage your family(in future) to talk in mothertongue. If you have seen a similar thread before or answered a poll before, pardon the repeated appearance.
kumble_rocks Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Kannada for me and occasional English/Hindi.

head coach Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Are you using English at home for communication Totally wrong grammer mate! "Do you use English at homr for communication" Don, One of the reasons people say you should not write the way you speak. Thanks for pointing it out. Grammar or spelling doesnt matter much these days when you look at the way business is conducted so lets get it done... :hmph:
head coach Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? I think the real case to debate is whether you should teach your children Indian languages if you are staying outside India?
ask4me Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? I use English coz firend circle has indians (punjabi, gujju, tamilian, kannadigan, marathi) , arab, chinese, north african. and when among the indian friends, Hindi+English and sometimes a mix of words from each other's languages. :wtg:
Cricketics Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? i have seen lot of hispanics here in usa, born here in usa, but speak perfect spanish too.. they have pride, feeling of nationalism.... OTH, lot of Desis dont have that much pride perhapz.. and hence are so called "ABCD" but then this case is exceptional for some ppl,
varun Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Hindi+English.. lol that's the most common language in homes.. How come that's not up there ??
ask4me Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? None of the Poll options matches, I didnt picked any. but starnge why we dont have Hindi+english :shrug:
head coach Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Hindi+English.. lol that's the most common language in homes.. How come that's not up there ?? You can select mothertongue or hindi varun. The whole idea is to see how many do not support teaching Indian language to the next generation.
apocalypse Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Hindi plus a mixture of English on times
Rajiv Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? At home, my folks speak Sindhi. I understand but I cannot converse and I speak in Hinglish only
varun Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Do you use English at home? Hindi+English.. lol that's the most common language in homes.. How come that's not up there ?? You can select mothertongue or hindi varun. The whole idea is to see how many do not support teaching Indian language to the next generation. Then the poll question should be, "Do you use ONLY English at home ?"
