Bonjour,
So, this is the most I can be french in writing this thing. Alors, I have been in france for about three weeks now and without anything to do {except see you know who and do you know what..}.
And so I met the student junta here and started knowing them. And the first thing which comes to my mind whenever I meet a new person is- Please God, this person should be speaking English. But alas, I have been blessed very less.
This is how the scenario is - You find many (about 10-15 percent) Asian faces in the crowd and apart from the other 20 percent ERASMUS [the inter european exchange programme] and the other 10 percent from the other countries. Among other countries, one finds Brasilians, Turkish, etc and the countries which were once the colonies of france (from Africa). But where the hell are the Indians?
I think Indians just missed out this easy target.. Or the Indian ass is so lasy that they don't want to go out of the comforts of English or they have the Advantage of English and can always go to English speaking countries. Whatever the reason, the Indians are simply not here..
As french still have the Ego to survive in the modern globalised world without learning the language of the globe, they still dream of spreading their culture. So, they teach their language to the students from countries which does not use English at all. Voila, here are our friends Chineses and the brasilians and the kazaks and who knows. For them, learning French or the English is the same. They enter into industrialised academic system anyways. And here is where the closure starts, the intencive for learning french is less for English Colonised students and so, they never pursue the french language and the french education after that. Donc, applying the Hebbian rule [i got to know it just recently, so need to use it[the use is justified given my love for self similarity between society and neurons]] the relation between the france and the non english speaking countries increases and this time culturally and voluntarily. And so, the perception of the world for the french is the non english speaking counties a China and kazakh and turkey in Asia and Tunisia and Senegal and Morroco and Congo in Africa and Brrasiliaa in S of America. The unconventional love for the two induatrial non english speaking countries of Japan and France is also apparent.
And where is Uncle Sam and our Queen? Well, they have the whole world in their eyes as the non english speaking learn english as easily as they learn french.
And so who the real winner is?? Yes, it's of course China.. They are everywhere .. They learn English or french , they just evolved into different species some 30 years ago when the china started induatrialising..
And what about Bharat Mata? Yes, her children are undiversifying into english speaking parrots from the many Indian languages they used to speak. So, the gift of Britishers, the English is not a boon for Indians against Chinese as it has limited our Vision of the world to only English speaking nations..
Merci bcp for reading...
PS: If you don't believe me, just try to remember how much you know about the english speaking nations of the world and the non english speaking nations..
i forgot to mention one thing, the french because of their partial exclusiveness of students with other countries have never tested their education system against ne1..
ReplyDeleteAnd so, it sucks big time..
Also, I feel that Canada, with the the unique bilinguality of English and French can be the ultimate winner but alas, the languages does not mix even there!!
