Nouns, adjectives, adverbs... Subject and predicate. We study those in our English Class ever since kindergarten. Some even think that they have already mastered this International Language. But it's a big no. We have known this language theoretically. Do you have the confidence to use it in our everyday life?
Same is true with our so- called Pambansang Wika. People especially in the rural places still prefer to use their dialects or vernaculars. The real reason behind this is the wrong notion of each of us. Sometimes, we don't even have a chance to speak these two languages without being embarrassed.
So now I say, I really support this Speak in English or Filipino Campaign. Let us be reminded that we have our freedom of speech. But then again, we must always consider respect for human dignity. Let's be courteous! Don't be shy and show the best you've got! :)
