Why English is difficult?



English is really funny language and at the same time concerns have to be made at all aspects.We will be good in written communication but we may fail miserably in verbal communication.This is because while writing we have the possibility of correcting our grammatical errors but while speaking we can't do that as it may affect our fluency.I have seen so many scholars who literally can't speak well but they are scholars.We can write well even after losing our touch for several years but we can never speak after losing our touch for those many years.There we have to be cautious!!!

There are many instances in our day to day life where we can see many,finding it very difficult to speak fluently.Any language can't be spoken fluently without practice.

Here is an interesting humor about how even great officials struggled.The highest official should know English at least to communicate with other nation's officials.

The Japan's then Prime Minister Mori is about to meet Obama.He doesn't know English.He was accompanied by the translator.The PM was told by others to say "How are you" to initiate the conversation and then Obama would say"Fine" and Obama will ask "How are you"again and so Mori would reply"Me too".This is what others thought.But what happened is weird.There are many things in our Life which are uncontrollable.Like sudden breakdown,lift failure etc.,
Here is another suituation like those.The translators can only control certain things.Here is something that gone beyond their powers.

When Mori met,he asked "Who are you" to Obama by mistake instead of "How are You".Obama might have got surprised but still replied with his coolness"I am the husband of Michelle".To make the situation worse,Mori then said"Me too".That's Funny,right? If Obama said"I am the President of America",it could have been much better.

This is one incident which caught the attention of the world because they are higher officials.There are many among us who might well caught like this.Be Aware!!!!
