Does 6 months, make a difference?

That was an interesting thought about the the Six Months Influence . I am not even six days old here, so just looking forward to see how Indus Ladies is going to affect me !

Re. language, I think its fine in informal settings to use "Indian English" or any of its sub varieties with regional words added . In fact its more lively and colourful ! So long as we have that useful suffix, "fy" we can invent a whole dictionary of enjoyable colloquial words !
( i just hope purists will not marofy me for defending such hybridization !)

True Srini,

Exposure to something for a considerable period influences you.

Be it accent,habits,mannerisms or whatnot -but your language is fine.

Not as you put it!

. It is not my English that matters to me, It is for those who read or speak with me..:biglaugh
One day I answered a repair guy in English, here comes my daughter telling me that, what if he thinks that you are illiterate..speak good ma:bonk
Sure it will take a few more years to come UP to your level..not go DOWN to your level.

Dear Bhargavi,

I also faced same problem when i came to mumbai after my marriage.. I dont know hindi, and talked with the maid in sign language.
I learnt hindi from MY DH.

Sriniketan · Jan 21, 2010

saikripa,
Nice to know that you managed well in the beginning..and also very happy to learn that you learned Hindi through your dh..
Do you have a style of your own in speaking it or following dh's style in communicating?
