All Talk and No Action

For the first time ever, I feel handicapped in my communication...
Some kids that I teach belong to Marathi medium schools.
A few have relocated from small villages and the only language that gets through them is Marathi.
I was good at writing and reading Marathi in school. Always felt good about my scores.
However, today, I am no longer proud of my crappy scores. What's the use if I can't converse in the language?
What's the use of being grammatically correct if there is no speech?
What's the use if I can't express, emote and laugh in the language?
Anyway, IF the only way to get through these lil kids is to chat in Marathi, I guess I shall get back to school.
Don't worry kids.
I shall re-learn the basics. Only for you.
