It is true.


The quality of our English, now, in our schools, is much lower than it was two generations ago.


But if you compare the quality of our English with the quality of English in other places, we are really not so bad.


Here are some examples.

I am sure that my parents felt the same way when they heard me speak for the first time. Communicating with words is one of the first lessons we learn. As a child we learn the language spoken at home. But when we grow older we discover that there are so many other languages spoken all over the world. In school I studied Spanish because we were required to take it.  I am glad that I learned it because it has come in handy during my travels to Europe.
