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.
