Shakespeare Explained: Quick Questions on  As You Like It ACT I — SCENE I 1. Why do people find Orlando attractive? Because he is young, brave, sweet tempered, and ill treated. SCENE II 2.

English language in India has still been considered to be a language of the educated people and it is mostly used in the circumstances where we want to  show that we belong to this  highly educated minority. Most of us mispronounce almost every third word of English language in India. Before I give you the list of the most mispronounced words in the English language used  in India let us talk about what are the reasons behind this mispronunciation and what are the other factors that stop us from correcting ourselves. I would also like to talk about the  concepts of fossilization ,mother tongue interference , over generalisation ,simple formation of the sentences ,lack of the use of all the tenses, less creativity in the framing of sentences in English and a phobia to use correct pronunciation that the people in front of us would either laugh on us or they would not be able to understand that.  There are many other factors also that belong to a typica...
