      English changes lives

      When I first entered a foreign company, I was surprised by the English accent of my Indian software colleagues. No, look at the title "Indian English", it hits the point of pain. Military regulations take it for granted that this is a film and television work about Indian English and pronunciation, so as to improve personal Indian English listening and speaking ability, isn't it beautiful.

      The above, of course, is just an association based on the title. Looking back at the plot, it...

      Learn to love yourself and become a better version of yourself

      A very good movie, the role of traditional Indian women in the family, as the center of the family, for children, parents, and husbands, but they have not received the respect they deserve. There is an old Chinese saying that you don't dislike your mother. Ugly, the youngest daughter Sharpner in the film disdains and even dislikes her mother's lack of English, but it is dramatic exaggeration that is unacceptable. The husband also plays this kind of role. In his eyes, the wife is just a...

      Learn to love yourself so you can do what you love

      05# The 56th film review 2018/1/28 Dear brother / article "British English"
       



      I used to think that the English spoken by Indians and Japanese was very funny, but recently I found out that I speak English well after training, which is actually an illusion. A lot of common English that I take for granted is actually mispronounced. If I hadn't become a teacher in a training institution, I don't...

      Indians speak English, I kneel as soon as I speak

      If the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus in Olympia, the Mausoleum of Mothoras, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria are the seven wonders of the world, then in the heart of Yijie, India People who speak English can be called "the eighth wonder of the world".

      Because Indians speak English, it is like a disaster scene.

      The situation of taking classes in the United States reminds me of Sanmao. I remember that when she first went to the United States, she was also in an English training school. There were many students from different countries in the class, and she often brought candy for everyone to eat. Love this movie so much, lovely and tough...

      Indian warmth and inspirational film, the theme of women's independence and respect is well developed, and I don't hesitate to give five stars. From entering the Grand View Garden to contact new things to the wonderful speech at the wedding, the whole process is smooth, natural and comfortable. There are few songs and dances, the framing is fresh and beautiful, the characters are charming, the rhythm advances cheerfully, the ending is a blockbuster, and it is another...
