Siraa !!
A good endeavour, this is one of the best threads I have ever seen in Elakiri. English is a language that we all must improve, since it has become the key to the bolted knowledge today, at the same time we should improve our mother tongue as well,because it is the mirror that reflects our identity in front of others, the problem is many don't attempt to polish their own language simultaneously with a European language such as this, people these days worry very much of English grammar in writing as well as in the speech, but I haven't very much seen people who are caring to write their own language in the systematic way, I wish you all the best brother.
