Is this the same stalingrad?
September 26, 2009 Saturday, 02:55 PM I I am an PR from an english speaking country. My wife is a Singaporean. Tell you the truth, the fact that Singaporeans speak such a strange tongue called Singalish was why I insisted to my wife
tha we put our kids in international schools, and retain their foreign
citizeships. I cringe every time I hear
singaporeans speak english. I cannot bear the thought of having my children speak english like them
,
I also
agee it is not realistic to expect children to be bilingual at such young ages. The result of emphasizing both chinese and english in schools is that
Singporean students are good at neither english or chinese. I had the opportunity to read essays written by Singapore students in universities. Tell you the truth, if they were in high shools in the US, they would get an F for having so many grammatical errors and awkward expressions.
I am not here to insult Singaporeans. I am here to tell the truth about the state of English in Singapore.
