मित्रांनो, एखादा परदेशी माणूस जेव्हा मराठी बोलत असतो तेव्हा त्याची भाषा ऐकून तुम्ही गालातल्या गालात हसता की नाही? अगदी तसाच प्रकार आपण इंग्रजी बोलतो तेव्हा त्या लोकांच्या बाबतीत होत असतो! उदाहरण द्यायचे झाले तर - आपण म्हणतो : I was walking on the street. मूळ इंग्रजी भाषेत ही वाक्यरचना अशी होते: I was walking down the street. शेवटी मातृभाषा ती मातृभाषाच.  शेवटी, शुद्ध मराठी बोलण्यासाठी जसे तुम्हाला पुणेरी लोकांच्या सहवासात काही काळ असणे आवश्यक आहे तसे शुद्ध इंग्रजी बोलण्यासाठी मूळ इंग्रजी भाषिक लोकांच्या सहवासात काही काळ घालवणे आणि त्यांच्याशी संभाषण करणे आवश्यक आहे. एकवेळ भाषा बोलताना थोडासा फेरफार चालून जातो (informal English) आणि खपवूनही घेतला जातो पण इंग्रजी शुद्ध स्वरूपात (formal English) लिहिणे असेल तर थोडेबहुत परिश्रम घेणे आवश्यक आहे. ह्या लेखामधे (भाग -२), भारतीय लोक इंग्रजी बोलताना/ लिहिताना ज्या चुका करतात, अशा चुकांची आणखी काही उदाहरणे आपल्याला बघायला मिळतील.
