Fluency with the ENGLISH LANGUAGE vs. Mastery of your MOTHER TONGUE 

    Language is either the specifically human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication, or a specific instance of such a system of complex communication. The scientific study of language in any of its senses is called linguistics. It plays a very important role in communication. Here on earth various languages are used. Like here on the Philippines the Filipino language is the one considered as the national language.

     Using your own language is one of the best ways on how to show patriotism. In showing love and appreciation for your beloved home land using your mother tongue is a good choice. In this way you can develop a better communication with your fellow men. For me having to know this language also signifies that you are a true and a pure hearted Filipino.

     The English language is one of the most known form of language nowadays. It is also, somehow considered as the universal language because it is primarily used in foreign transaction and others. In some Asian countries persons that can use or understand English are considered intelligent or something like that. In addition learning this language causes ease in learning other languages too. If you know the English language reaching the world would be much easier.

     For me fluency on the English language is better than mastery with your mother tongue. That is because this generation communicating with the rest of the world is very important and the English language will be of great help. Not because I am not loyal to my beloved country but for me that is the most practical choice.
