Malayalam Speakers Who Understand English But Hesitate to Speak
My Story
I Know This Fear Because I Lived It.
In 1998, I arrived in Bahrain with many dreams.
At the immigration counter, an officer asked me:
"What is the purpose of your visit?"
I froze.
I had studied English, but at that moment I couldn't speak.
Later, during a visit to a friend's home, I finally gathered the courage to say one simple sentence:
"Anette, this kitchen is very big, but my kitchen is very small."
Her reaction changed something inside me. She encouraged me and said:
"Shobha, you can speak English."
Those few words gave me the courage to keep speaking without waiting for perfect grammar.
That was the beginning of my English-speaking confidence.
"Sometimes you don't need more English.
You need the courage to use the English you already know."
