I guess this generation speaks more English

[أحمد بوفاريك]

Salam

Well, I'm not sure about what I'm saying but, I guess that our generation I mean people under 30 years old speak English more and more, or at least -want- to speak English more than French, the question how ? I'm sure it's good thing, but, I want to know why

Well, to answer that question is not that easy, because we need a real sociological study, but I will do my best here

I guess movies and TV-shows, had the big part of influence at this generation a specially TV channels, such MBC and Dubai TV, these kind of channels offer movies that youth likes, such action, drama and TV shows, I'm not going to speak about titles of movies or TV shows, because the subject is different here

But let's talk about the negative part now, of course learning English such a ******** is good, but to learn the American culture, here the problem poses
First thing some impolite words, I start hear some impolite words in the street, in bus even my little brother at home once said something awful, he didn't understand because he have just 10 years old, but the problem he said it, I had to teach him to never say that because it's a bad word, well after I asked him where you heard and from whom ? he answered me from a TV show
The problem is not just here, it jump to a high level, we will talk about it next time

May Allah bless you all brothers and sisters

Salam

Just be careful guys, hope that you just take the good part of that occidental culture, and let go the bad part. Wish you all good luck

actually in fact i liked ur subject cuz is very realistic more of that is derived from the reallity of living here in algeria such a guy study in high schooool i admit that alll the teanagers are attracted by english langage not as u've mentioned by movies nd music but also by the accent nd the ease of
pronounciation
u feel freee when u speak it it's not classic as french

at the end we all know that english langage has became the langage number one in the world so it's international langage

tnx again for the subject

[أحمد بوفاريك]

I agree with you bro, about what you said, I mean English is more easy and practical than French and it's an international lang.uage
And you're welcome

in all cases we master speaking english or french *but never to forget our original ********
people in the west do the best to keep up speaking their native ********
but old generation who speak french didn.t give unfortunately the right image
they marginalized their native ******** and save the foreign ********
they are socially .historicaly and psychologically lost
they loose their identity
so. our advice for young generation to learn english because it is more important than french but nenver never never to forget your identity.
the second advice
we have alot of means to learn english why music.movies and things like that
because learning english throughout these means push us directly or indirectly to loose our identity
it is sorrowful to see our students to show they know english they sing american songs.wearing like them. trying to imitate them in all details
believe me
it is useless
let it and look for other options.

What a lovely saying mister Abu Abdul Basit, I do like it, that what I'm looking for, I mean we have to learn lang.uages to use it in good purposes, and as you said there are many other ways to learn English better than musics and movies, the problem is, this generation is so different I couldn't understand them, honestly
And as you said "never forget our identity" we are Muslims, we have to be proud that we are
Thanks again for the advices, I hope that they and me will take with it. may Allah bless you Salam

,hello everyone

I totally agree with what you've said .... the new generation especially "youth" prefer to speak English rather than " french" I think that's because it's easier and less complicated ....also here in Algeria , it's not a strange or new thing to hear someone speaking
French but "English" is different ... the youngster will feel more proud and distinguished if he speaks english ... but the influence of the media that you spoke about remains the srong reason of this phenomenon
