Isang babaeng estudyante ang nagbahagi ng kanyang ‘journey’ sa pagkamit ng kanyang pangarap kahit na siya ay mali-mali sa pagsasalita ng ingles.
Marami sa mga netizens ang napahanga sa sinabi niyang ito tungkol sa kanyang journey sa buhay.
Sa kanyang Facebook post, ipinagmalaki ni Mimi ang kanyang pagiging Magna Cum Laude kahit na hindi siya magaling mag-ingles.
"I have dyslexia so I often have spelling errors tapos di rin talaga ako magaling sa grammar and syntax so I used to shy away from posting in English.
Nakakahiya kasi magkamali. Nakoo lalo na nung college ako ang daming ✨grammar Nazi✨! Mga pinoy pamandin hilig din mag correct ng English publicly. Kahit sa TV, punchline lagi ang “barok” mag English.
šKaya, until recently, I used to equate intelligence with a person’s ability to speak in English. š
Things changed as I studied here in Japan and started learning Japanese.
Dito, kahit na “barok” ang Japanese ko, no one is laughing at me, no one is judging my intelligence because I cannot speak a language. If a native speaker of the language I am currently studying is not shaming me, why should Pinoys be shaming English learners?
Kaya ayun, I don’t feel ashamed anymore.
Afterall, the mastery of a language is a factor of many things like time, money, learning challenges, etc.
My intelligence is not measured by how good I am in speaking and writing in English or any language for that matter. š
I am writing this to encourage people to be kind to people who commits spelling and grammar errors. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HINDERS THEM FROM LEARNING ENGLISH.
If you must, correct someone privately š We will appreciate it better this way.
And to you dear English learner, please be kind to yourself. English lang yan š
Importante, you’re trying, and you’re learning.
Padayon lang.
Best,
Mimi
✨Magna Cum Laude pero di magaling mag English.✨
Ps edit: this post is a call for kindness and understanding for people who is not proficient in English. But please, let us also be kind to people who is more comfortable in speaking English.
My main point here is: IT IS NEVER OKAY TO SHAME PEOPLE. Kindness is free, let’s practice it generously š¤ "
