Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..
This entry will be fully written in english. When people talk in english, some people say they 'boast' and 'berlagak' (in malay). To me, when you talk about any language, practice makes perfect. Eventhough you have misspellings here and there, I don't think that you should stop reading, speaking and even writing in English. Here, in the UK, people talk british (pronounced as Brit-ish) and the first person we mat at the school during registration and orientation, was a British native speaker, and we could'nt understand what he was talking. The longer we lived here, we got quite used with the pronunciation, yet, sometimes we still have to ask them to repeat by saying 'pardon me', or 'could you repeat again?' sort of thing.
Alhamdulillah, me and my siblings were given the opportunity to school in Australia for about nearly 4 years. And that experience really brushed up my english in both speaking and writing. Yet, if you don't practice them, the language will just fade away and you'll become awkward by then. Alhamdulillah, my peers from Hidayah loves talking in English, and we converse in malay-english language (or people say campurization!). The same goes to children of Malaysians who get the chance to school here. They are like sponges and they learn really fast, plus they even have the British accent!
There is one Malaysian to become the 1st professor in Oxford, UK. He knows more than 4 languages! Perhaps 5/6 languages including french. That's superb!
To those who are ashame of talking in english, put your shame away! Try to speak, and try to write in English. Don;t be afraid, but please be open to critics. It makes you better-off.
Writing a thesis fully in English is challenging but yet I am deterministic and optimistic to produce the best. In academia, you are required to be knowledgable in your area of expertise YET you have to know how to deliver them well too! And that is language.
Till then. May Allah ease all our efforts..Ameen!
