Tatau la pada korang, tapi for me, aku paham je apa dia cakap. Tang mana hazab nya pon aku tak tau.
Tapi maybe jugak la blog aku ni pon penuh dengan bahasa campur campur. It takes one to know one kan. Hahaha.
Anyway, my point here is that, Don HATES it when I'm writing/speaking like this, campur campur.
Sebab dia cakap, stressful sebab ada sesetengah perkataan dia paham, and some tak paham. So it makes it hard for him to comprehend the WHOLE sentence.
So every time when I'm typing or talking to my family/friends in front of him, dia suruh aku either go full BM or full English.
Eh. Sukahati laa
Tapi in my opinion, it makes it easier for me to send my points across kalau cakap English campur BM. Bukan nak cakap aku ni riak ke apa, tapi kalau in BM, banyak perkataan panjang panjang and it takes a lottttt to say it.
Maybe jugak my surroundings sejak kecik dah requires me to communicate in English, so the people around me tak kisah sangat la kalau aku cakap English berterabur pon.
One thing about my family is that, everyone is encouraged to speak English no matter how berhabuk or berterabur your proficiency is. Aku dah banyak kali kena gelak by my siblings sebab grammar tunggang langgang, tapi it helps you a lot the next time; you won't make the same mistake again.
Tapi keji gila kan adik beradik aku? Haha.
Eh, aku pon sama je.
Agakkan sebab tu kot kitaorg tak kisah kalau orang lain gelakkan/buat muka taik kalau we communicate in English.
That's another thing which I don't get in our culture, selalunya jadi kat sekolah sekolah la, tapi ada jugak manusia yang jenis tak membangun, carries the same perangai sampai ke dewasa. When someone tries to speak English, regardless la whether English dia tiptop ke tak, tak payah lah nak menganjing.
Bila orang cuba nak try cakap English sikit, terus nak label "menunjuk-nunjuk" or "cakap Melayu la, kau tu bukannya mat salleh" or "fuyooo cakap Inggeris siottt" dgn muka mintak pelempang 100kali.
Huh.
Kau nak memperlekehkan dia because (s)he has the testicular fortitude?
At least dia berani, selalunya orang yang suka menganjing mcm ni, English comprehension dia tak tinggi. Tapi ada hati nak kutuk orang.
Anyway, ingat mat salleh semua tu reti sangat ke ckp proper English ni? Diorg punya grammar pon lagi tunggang langgang. Spelling tak payah cakap la. Aku yang English tahap standard 6 je pon reti eja lagi.
So tak payah la nak malu malu sangat kalau nak berbahasa Inggeris ni. Belasaaahh jeeee. The more you prektis, the better you'll become.
Just gotta build the confidence je dulu sebenarnya.
Even opah aku yg umur 70+ pon secara konfidennya boleh berkomunikasi dengan Don...
