English is a funny language

English is a funny language

A Poem by Abhishek Pahuja
"

My experience of English language.

"
English is a funny language
Confusing are it's words
But you have to learn it
Also the typical vocubs

Luck fortune and fate,
With same meaning are three different words
This is the reason
I don't play English crossword.

They are pronounced the same But are tale and tail,
I always get confused between sale and sail.

It would be better, if it would be easy,
But you have no option, here you can't be choosy.

You should know it's Grammer well,
Also that how it should be spelled.
Practice hard and keep your knowledge update
Because English gets regular upgrade.

First of all I feel glad to have you on this site and posting your first work here. You are hearty welcome.

Critiques: In second line use the word its rather than it's.
In fourth line the vocubs should be replaced with vocabs.
Put a comma after the word luck.
Homonyms are a matter of perplexity but you will understand after constant practice.
You misspelled the word ‘Grammar'! Correct it.
Update should be replaced by updated.

Review: Yes, English is indeed a funny language. I like your way of expression and the instances you jot down in your work. Only incessant endeavors for that will make you all clear. Keep writing. May God bless you.

When I first started reading poetry by those of you who do not speak English as your first language, I felt the need to make a comment about whether the English construction was well done or not. Now I don’t do that anymore. I find that those coming at the English language from a different direction have their own charm in the way they word things. I can almost hear the somewhat imperfect English being spoken & now it sounds like music to me. There are some uppity writers who feel that the English language is being destroyed by using it improperly. But I say, as long as we can follow your story & hear your words as we read them, imperfections don’t matter. So carry on with your struggle, dear friend. I very much appreciate that you take the trouble to speak my language since I can’t speak yours! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I have a hard enough time learning the grammar of my own language, I can only imagine how difficult it is to learn English as a second language.
I love this poem! Although my grammar skills are not good, I will do my best to offer grammar corrections!

In stanza 1 line 4 -- “vocubs” I think you mean “vocab” or “vocabulary”.
In stanza 2 line 1 – You need commas after “luck” and “fortune”.
In stanza 3 line 1 – “But are tale and tail” this looks like a sentence fragment. I think you mean “like tale and tail”.
In stanza 4 line 1 – I could be wrong, but I don’t think “if it would be easy” is grammatically correct in this context. I think it needs to be “if it was easy” or “if it could be easy”.
In stanza 5 line 1 – I THINK “it’s” should be “its” (no apostrophe), but again I can barely speak my own language correctly. Also “Grammer” should be “grammar”.
In stanza 5 line 2 – “Also that how” doesn’t sound right. Perhaps “As well as how”.
In stanza 5 line 3 – “update” should be “up to date”.
In stanza 5 line 4 – “uprade” needs an “s”, so “upgrades”.

I love the idea behind this poem and commend you on learning this confusing language!
I enjoyed reading this!

Abhishek pahuja,
I enjoyed reading this first draft of your work; exciting to see where you are at this time in life. Language is a wonderful thing. It's so nice to see that you are learning. It is so very good for you! Your poem is expressive of the individual insights and interesting traits which are presenting themselves in your lessons. I have been working on French. It's fun and it is difficult and it is worth every minute!
Blessings,
Kathy
