Speak English with a tRend and sTyle..
Posted on 14. Oct, 2006 by Sankaranand in Tutorials
First of all i tell you that i am not good enough to teach English but i believe i can help you speak english with a trend and mix..
Why does one prefers to talk english with a trend or style?
>The answer is simply to gain one’s attention and uniqueness… We always like someone who does things in a different way, don’t we ? If you decide to go on this topic then read it… Speaking a trendy english is not a matter of training or course study with grammer limits but its all about your networking with people…
Like adding masala to stuff, the reciepe of trendy english can be made with mix of colloquial english words and slang bits. To develop your english, you need to communicate and practice with the community that uses it., especially someone good in oral communication. Links and frequent interaction with english people around world will boost your progress. Watch english movies, try to understand each and every phrases, english series like friends etc would boom your communication skill. With advance in technology, English Dvd’s come with subtitle that acts as user friendly learning resource.
Spend some time watching channels like HBO, AXN etc to stay updated in latest slang. Most of the all it depends mainly on your co-workers, friends and social community, if you mingle with some one who is trendy then you do learn some by interacting with him or her. With the aid of Internet, take advantage of using social networking sites like Orkut, Myspace, Google groups etc to interact with other parts of world.

Learn to speak the ‘queens english’ first
- That’s the English of business.
Trendy and being social is only for online and new wave yuppy lifestyle’s. What may seem a trend in english in one country may not be the same in another. The divisification of slang is another attribute which carefully needs to be considered. For example, “Bugger you” is a slang which is of UK orgin and is not considered rude in UK – its colloquial. However, the same term when used in the Middle East is literally translated by non native english speakers and this becomes a very rude and offensive comment. This means that by speaking trendy English, one may (without knowing), offend others
What is hip to you maybe not be hip to others !!
English is language of commerce and business. Don’t look to be trendy, rather look to master the language in its true essense.
True Values happens, when you realize that;
A smile is smile in any language.
A tear is tear in any language.
A laugh is a laugh in any language.
….and that is true communication !!!

generally i do speak english in different way for different people…since i am in india where i could see people of 360* type, its depends on with whom you speak, say when i am in an interview i should speak corp english but when it comes to girls, friends etc i prefer a trendy english…. Its like differentiating a formal and informal english….. The thing is we have to use it in the correct time….thats.it.

The Point that I was trying to make with my question- is, that Rajnikanth is unique and trendy– but never actually knew english or speaks english. Yet, he changed the face of ‘trendy’ too correct ??
