SPEAK TO ME IN ENGLISH OR FILIPINO WITH KINDNESS



"Kindly speak to me in English or Filipino." You can read this I.D. tags being use by the English club officers and some students of Ilocos Sur National High School.

Recently, the English Club relaunch the Speak to me in English or Filipino campaign. What's the importance of knowing how to speak in English and/or Filipino properly and with kindness???

We all know that English is the universal language and Filipino is our national language. As a Filipino citizen, we MUST learn to speak in English and/or Filipino with kindness. Using this two language properly and with kindness makes us stand out among others. Today, the job offered here in the Philippines is limited or less work-pay so most of us go abroad. We can't go to other country by not knowing how to speak in English. I mean, you can't speak with the foreigner in our own dialect because they'll not understand it (unless they know how to speak in our dialect).

We must start speaking in English and/or Filipino NOW so that we can be competitive with others in the future. Don't care if your grammar is wrong, just speak with English or Filipino and you'll get used to it; and if someone corrected you, don't be angry, thank him instead for another lesson learned.
