Hi All,

We all live and learn. We are always students. I am a native speaker of the Hindi language but if I am to be tested on its grammar. I swear! I will get failed!

so, indiansoil, what is the Indian Education system's english courses like?Does everyone study english?Are many people very good?

[Indiansoil]

Hi Boke,

"The Indian Educational System is faulty." That statement, once said by Mr. M.K. Gandhi, still holds true. That simply means that "it doesn't correspond with the rural requirements." - Again I am quoting Gandhi's words.

No, the courses vary from state to state and English is not taught everywhere. In government schools generally they begin teaching English from upper primary classes. Up to 5th standard the students are not taught English. Only some ABC. Whereas in private schools English is the only or an optional medium of teaching. From 6th to 12th standards English is taught as a compulsory subject.

Well, I don't know if any changes have been made over these years. But, yes, many people over here are really good at English.

You know, when I was in school I couldn't get a chance to speak English. The other studetns would not like it.

Well, I am busy here right now. So, I stop here.

Have a nice day!

Thanks, I've been thinking about what kind of ppurtunities there might be in India in terms of selling english

[Indiansoil]

It is like selling English like a hot cake that means coining - making money!

How do most people study? Do they have english language schools? They buy a english textbook and study by themselves? Internet?
