English is effectively read and spoken by only 2% of World population today. Little does one belittle its effect in today's Finance, social and entertainment world.
It's no denying fact that 97% of wealth is concentrated in 3% of the population. Our focus is to enter into this club of elite 3%, isn't it? Before we embark our journey to be one among them, let us focus on their characteristics. They think and behave differently. They all speak and write English cogently, coherently. If we need to sell our products and services to this elite class to be one of them one day, we must muster this language.
This brings us to the mode of learning this language when we are living in bilingual or multilingual society where this English language is not spoken on regular basis. Method is to know grammar effectively. I did not say academically, but effectively. Pedagogy has it that you learn in a much critical point of view. This approach takes away interest among the students. They become bored. They often do not understand the nitty gritty of the grammar discussed in their academic curriculum.
I've customised grammar in a lucid and fun building manner that my students may develop a true ingenuity in English learning.
It's an engaging enigma to practise English on a daily basis by everyone and all from every walks of life. Be one a doctor, engineer, chartered accountant, lawyer, teacher, astrologer, manager, officer etc. one can not help ignore English so long as the struggle is to catch a higher echelon of the society as your customer. remember, if your client is premium, you earn in premium. Or slog on among 97%. Good luck.
