In India, people treat English like it's another branch of science...

How to impress Indians: If u r Indian--speak English A foreigner--speak Hindi

People fail to understand that "English is just a language " but sadly people compare it with your intelligence.

I am watching this video to improve my English 😂🤣

I have been in her shoes too ..in my case it was my maths teacher ,she said am unfit and had low IQ and that's why I am a doctor now with psychology PhD!!

I wish your English teacher saw this.

My teacher said I will not pass 10 board exams, I passed 10th , completed my Bsc. Nursing and I'm working in US now, through all this God was with me... never give ear to these kind of people.

I'm 21, still my English is broken 😂 anyone here who is same as me??

never mock a person who speaks broken English.. it means they know some other language!

I don't know why it felt so connected to me. Feels like that's the same I had to go through my life. When I was 12 , I had to give a speech on 'Importance of Discipline for Student' on stage in an annual program.When I went to stage, I couldn't speak more than two words "Respected teachers...". I was dumbstruck. I wasn't able to think of a single word apart from 'discipline'. Actually I added two more words, "thank you". And rest the same story as she. Watched KZfaq videos, english news, movies, read english novels, magazines, newspaper, junior classes books, dictionary or anything I found out written in english, even advertisements and papers I got from street food vendors. Last year in college I was co-host of our Annual Program in which I had to speak completely in english. I did well. At least that's what I thought. But friends came to me and asked me how my english was so good!? I was totally perplexed and amazed. I couldn't know how english words came so natural to me as if I was putting no effort in it. But as they say "It is only hard till you don't know it". God Bless Thank you for sharing.

When someone speaks broken english, it simply mean they are learning someting new...

अंग्रेज़ी केवल एक भाषा है बुद्धि मापने का पैमाना नहीं केवल एक भाषा विचार व्यक्त करने के लिए 🙏

So, I met this guy and while we were talking I mispronounced a word. I was a little embarrassed because I knew I was using the word in the right context but couldn't pronounce it, before I could say anything he stared started saying something. "You know a cool thing, it's weird how people look down upon other people who mispronounce words, the only way you can actually know when you use a word without pronouncing it when you've actually read it. You don't look down upon people who read " That was legit one of the nicest thing I've heard someone say.

My English Is broken. But you know what else is? The school system ➕ the outdated teachers.

Everyone is proud of their language whereas we Indians are ashamed of speaking Hindi.

"When you're 14, we don't know anything. And our teachers, they know everything." This is true in our case.. but no more for today's generation.. Both fortunately and unfortunately..

Our school system never teach us how to speak and listening native speaker... they're following mugging up pattern

The point she made was awesome: not to be the best but be the best version of yourself. Pretty inspirational.

great speech. Top Notch delivery. sooo interacting and can relate most of it.

Tedx...my dream😍😍😍😍 Gonna speak there some day! 😌😌

We all look up to our teachers But when they instead of guiding us being our mentors mock at us ..it shatters the innocent heart

I really love her confidence We all should take inspiration from her story👍

The delivery of the speech is so attractive and the story telling 👏

Clap clap clap... Your English teacher got the best out of you! :)

The same thing happened to me. I was humiliated by my teacher in front of my whole class. because of my lack of communication skill. but now I've got pg degree in English.

Esha if you’re reading this, thanks for showing something so common in schools and colleges. I had a stammering problem too. And I got over it.

My English teacher slap me in front of over 50 students when I was in 10 class because my command in English was not good...Now I am working for multinational company and need to speak at least 7 hours in English...I feel piety for that teacher,if she would have explained/teach me rather than slapping me I would speak better at that time...so sad our education system/teachers need to change..

How many of you googled up the word "Lisp" for it's meaning? 😅

I still remember when I said " I was absent tomorrow " when teacher asked me something.

This is truly an incredible speech for someone like me who speak broken English, the message that I derived from this speech for me is that " the worse thing that you do to yourself is to refuse to see the flaws you grow up with"......Thank You Esha Manwani.

The right way to introduce someone to the society is "Interview". Someone's life journey can inspire and encourage others....

Exactly the same thing happened with me, god bless you ma'am 🙏🙏you're a hope for all of us

Yes, And you have made a best example for the people who think that they can't speak fluent English. This will give them power to go ahead and improve

Thank you ..my son is studying in 10th std. He watched your talk 7 times already

I had the same mathematics teacher when I was in school and she made me to believe that math wasn't my subject. But few years later, I ended up with a degree in Economics and MBA in Finance. Don't forfeit your dreams due to people's opinion on you. You're more than capable!

She speaks English better than I do (native US) I find native Hindi speakers speaking English is one of the beautiful things to listen to! Much love to the presenter! Lovely person and spirit!

I really feel great that I got an opportunity to hear your story...it is so inspiring ...

I just randomly came across this video & saw it because of only one reason that is “my name is also Esha ”but eventually I got to listen something amazing and importance of English in today's world !♥

This is the most inspiring speaker I have ever heard of !!!!!!

Everbody concerned a lot regarding speaking english.. But nobody knows this is the biggest challenge in rural areas...

I wonder, you just reflected me. Thank you, Esha. I'm Just 16 years old right now. And you just inspired me a lot by this single speech. You're amazing.

I'm here to improve English, Increase confidence and get motivated. Here I feel, this my story. These all are same like me.

Big fan Esha Manwani !!! 😍 You have shown the true reality in such a brilliant manner... 👍🏻👌🏻

Quite a remarkable transformation. Kudos to her.

I cant even imagine how much you had to work hard to improve your Spoken English.......Your TEDx Talk inspired me a lot...Thanks

Her Speaking skill is so excellent

Best video ever.....it's very helpful.and gonna follow this🤘

First time I seen this type of English speaker..🙏🙏

This was an exceptional speech by a girl who has embraced herself and her flaws. I, too, owe my fluency and command over english to all those English movies out there - starting from "The fast and the furious " to award winning films such as "Everest" OR "Wilson". The point is, if you have the will to do or learn something, you CAN do it. And as they say - "Self-education is the best Education"

I will have to share this video with my daughters, who are currently 8 and 10 yrs old. They both love to read books, so we started doing book reads on our channel to help them improve their English reading and comprehension skills. Looking forward to your exploring more of your videos. Thank You!

Prettiest's beautiful style to make us know stylish English.. Awesome!!!

I'm 22 and today i came to know that there's something called lisp 😂😂

I am so happy someone made this video. I have been facing same difficulty and humiliation to this day. I studied throughout in Gujarati medium and we didn't have English till 5th class. In school I was not humiliated since whole school had region medium and I was getting very high score in English as secondary language. I was so proud but then I started working came to South India and here I saw level of English people were speaking. I started watching KZfaq videos and listening to podcast to improve my English. People in my office made so much fun of my English and use to say that I talk like a child. I don't speak professional. My grammar was ok, I was articulating right sentences but I did not have rich vocabulary. I am still working on myself but the biggest disappointment is that we don't see English as language, we see it as mesure of intelligence.

Now u r in Ted x.. Bcz of ur passion and self confidence.. Good

I saw many TEDx videos, but this is the best . This inspired me a lot....

What an amazing talk! So relatable and inspiring..

*മലയാളികള്‍ ഉണ്ടോ?*

I don't know anything about this girl.... But only thing i learnt here is that .. she has got pure guts in her attitude.... Atleast she is speaking...🙏🙏🍷🍮

What an engrossing and inspiring talk!!

Today I am in very tension because of my failure. yesterday I given interview in very famous company in India I rejected because of communication skills and my English is not good. But now I am challenging with my self I will improve and will prove it.thanks for this video

Sis....your speech was very good. I liked watching it, seems like, you got the grip over the language. I think that you had a hard time through them. The feeling which you told for that tiny girl you described is obvious, and I can understand it. There was once a time, where I googled through KZfaq to get command over my language, I was not satisfied. Some had good prounciation , some had voice modulating techniques, but never got a feeling that I am not alone e in this world. Thanks a lot.......

The girl really nailed it. Point is not to be best but best version of you. Accept your flaws and donot be ashamed of. It's okay not to speak good or fluent english. Intelligence can't be measured by a language.

Thanku for motivating me and feeling confident to speak English

love you for this session Esha! Kids face the same thing across the nation and teachers have been mostly insensitive to this since ages...you put it in such a lucid way...thnx darling !

The point is not to be the best,It is to be the best version of yourself♡♡♡ This was literally amaZing...

You are my inspiration, i really to listen you and i Lisented this more then 10 time, looking forward for more vedio by you❤

Excellent Presentation .Thank you M🙏🙏

I searched On KZfaq English lecture ,this is what it came 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was first on the top list

Its all my pleasure mam..i am glad that you replied coz i am dealing with same situations.. M 20 now and still used to speak broken english...can't help it!!!

Imagine being so bored that you scroll down and see my comment

If I were that english teacher, I would've taken her to class12 students and have said "Dear, you're gonna speak better english than their's one day!"

this was a very good inspirational speech, not many i hear are, honestly, any good.

Learning English by watching Hollywood movies is a really great idea. I did that too. It basically helps to learn the conversational English rather the bookish one, like she said, which is very important. And yes, it's a lot more than other ways!

Funny that how this video is actually better than 90% of "how to learn fluent english" videos on the youtube. Thanks! from a 15 year old

Great speech....really inspires me..😊

My English teacher advice me to watch Ted talks video to improve own English because I want to go abroad for higer education 🙏🙇☺️

hats off to you mam, it makes my days and also it make me to be more confident to be able to speak English language

My teacher told me that when you will become the teacher then you know the problems of teacher but now I'm teacher but I never face any problem yet & definitely i'm teaching better than my teacher ... I respect my teacher But I'm applying the principal of learning everyday to teach my students. 😊

Love it ❤️❤️ it was amazing ,you are awesome 👌 and very confident and yeah you rock it 🤟🤟

If you understand what a person trying to talk then its okk...wethr its broken or straight😂😂😂😂

One of the most amusing ted talk ever ! You spoke so naturally , you were funny , cute and at the same time inspired me 😍😍

I like her speech and The way of the expression.

super story👍 the way u catch up to talk

മലയാളി ആരേങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടാ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ ലൈക്ക് അടി

During my school days I also got humiliated by my English teacher in front of the whole class cause he didn't like the way of my writing or either speech of mine. Video of some one has also experienced the same situation helped me to overcome my problem , thank u Esha bhai , Now I got a courage to face it and sort it out . Before watching this people used to say that my voice isn't clear it but your video so special to me. I like the way how u speak and way how u tried to overcome problems faced as a teenager . Proud of u mam and I am 14 years old

She is a wonderful speaker!

dislikes r from English teachers friends and family.

It shows HOW WE CHANGE OUR WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH.

The Indian education system does not emphasise on important aspects of a language such as accent, eloquence, precise pronunciation, social interaction and public speaking. Merely teaching few literature stories and chapters of grammar would render the instruction of a language incomplete be it English or Hindi.

From Bangladesh : Thank you for giving us so much knowledge 😘😘😘

Watching for improving English I trying to IELTS.

People still don't understand that it's just a medium of expression and nothing else. And really this video made my day.😊

I just realised that there are many people with same story as mine. My teacher went physical (held my collar) and humiliated in front of my whole class just because I was not good in english. And I did almost the same thing to excel the language.

You have really perfect fluency......I want to improve fluency like you......it's my huge factor to become embarrassed in front of the people

This was a fun tedtalk .. refreshing 😁

I love people who are comfortable in their own skin

What a personality.!

What a speech.....u r excellent

What a inspiring video. I am also learning engkish and i do loys of grammatical and pronouncing mistakes. But this video and comment's of people in the comment section gave me a new charge to keep practcing more and more and more english. My dream is yo speak english fluently with advance vocabulary in front of people. I hope that day wil come very soon....

English is just another language.It's mostly matter of practice not any intelligence. Stop giving it so much importance. People eventually get along and achieve heights of success if they are talented and whether or not they speak fluent English.
