- “His English so bad. Must be stupid.”
Walao. English is just a language.
It isn’t a measure of intelligence. 😀

Well said!!! Don't let a language to define ur intelligency!
More importantly, the substance of the speech counts.However, for positions like Foreign Minister or Tourism dealing with foreign countries, a reasonable command of English would project a good image in terms of communication skills.Without being critical, there is no lack of talent in this area.
Teck Hoh Ng Well said
But that's the point..people judge your intelligency by looking how good you command a language..it shows how hard you were in studying a language till you master a language..if you are american or british,their people will judge a person based on something else i guess.
Biggest applause to Nandini to speak up. This is why most of my malay friends are afraid to speak english. They afraid people are bashing them down to the ground humiliating them for not speak like a native speaker.
I'm always talking English with my families because we want to have a confident when to speak with other people.
@@hellikak4364 It's actually very good to improve English by making a conversation with family. I always tell my friends that advanced vocabulary doesn't matter, as long the person who you talk to, understand what are the message you've trying to delivered.
I wrote this in another comment. But there's a difference between a common person and a politician. I have no idea whether he was speaking broken English or English with an accent or whether he was speaking officially to an audience or just talking. But Broken English should not be used by anyone in the Government as it can cause misunderstanding, English with an accent can as its just an accent. If an politician can't speak English, then just speak Bahasa Malaysia and get a translator/ subtitles.
@@hellikak4364 same when I'm with my my family we will speak English because my lil sis can't speak malay proper cause she autism but her English wah macam mat Saleh but we still think it as pracite to improve our english
Don't know other reason why malay doesn't like to english a lot
As an English teacher myself, I personally feel like you don't judge people by their proficiency of English cause they might not be up to par with a good English fluency but they excel in other areas of subject. I've seen and witness myself. Even as a teacher, I'll always say to my students that you just need a little more attention to cultivate your proficiency.Never discriminate. And yess I do agree that learning English and mastering it is good but people just need to hv a little bit more conscious that not everyone needs to be a pro in English if they choose so to. Just my take on it. Tapi jgn lah jadi buta English. Yg tu pon tak bagus.
Well said, just because some people cant speak english fluently doesnt mean that they're not smart. Theres tons of other skills that they can pursue.
I agree with you 100%. I’m an English teacher as well, one can be fluent in speaking the language but terrible when it comes to writing and vice versa. Do you know that in international schools, some NATIVE SPEAKERS ask Malaysian English teachers how to teach the language? When my students laugh at their friend who has to translate each word one by one to speak to me in English, I tell them “you were in his/her shoes once. Help your friend or congratulate them for putting effort to learn the language instead of laughing at them.”
'I've seen and witness myself'? I guess you unintentionally misspelled witnessed...English teachers make mistakes too.
Ammar Amsyar damn yk they’re an english teacher when they comment a whole paragraph in the comment section (no offense jus take this as a compliment :))
At least we are can understand English language, but they are don't understand our mother language, ngopi ngopi diem diem Bae
That is our people mentality, they got goosebumps when someone spoke english, and when one doesn't spoke well, they'll bash you to death till you got no confidence and courage to speak english for the next time
and lots of people seem more bothered by having an accent... They tend to think that people with good accents speak "proper english" and this sickens me... die die also want to sound like ang moh, and not like a Malaysian person... If you notice, even our local Hitz FM hosts have americanised their English, and if you listen carefully, their english is also broken, but people tend to think they're well spoken because of the accents...
malaysian mentality:
breaking someone mentally = motivation to work harder
British English and American English is accent so having Malaysian accent doesn't make your English bad at all. At least your sentence structure is good then it is fine.
Even French, Russian and Arabic English accent is accepted by others.
And also Indian accent from India
mye forsythe Exactly. In fact when I hear Malaysian speakers with put on British or American accents I cringe. That’s why I don’t listen to our local radios.
I just can’t tolerate bad English. Or BM. Or Tamil
British English 🇬🇧 vs 🇲🇾 Bahasa Malaysia th-cam.com/video/23zYVASZN80/w-d-xo.html
Yes, i second this!
It's high time that we focus on other issues/matters rather than minding other people's incapability of speaking in proper English. As long as people understand what you are saying, there's no reason to mock other people's English influency.
*nandini roasting all those friggin haterz*
Ms.Squishy Alice I’m curious to find out who are those that disliked the video.. 🤔
parmeila dhevi, I’m also curious to find out who are those that liked the video.
Never judge anyone by language. Countries like China, Japan, India, Middle East are still shining without English being their first language. They have better technologies/buildings/systems than UK or US! 😂
They are doing nuclear research, launching rockets, have tallest buildings etc etc..
I have also seen most of the immigration officers in Malaysia could speak good English with foreigners. N whenever I get a chance to meet these officers, I always praise them for their language proficiency. And those who can't speak proper, but they try to, I still praise them for their effort, I could witness their happiness and willing to learn more.
Shalini, Indians from India speak excellent English.
@@malmsiaExactly!👍👏😊
i dont know why, everytime i watched Nandini talking with her hands moving around, i tend to follow her hand movement too, its compelling
agreed!!
Don't y'all remember that Bahasa Melayu used to be Lingua Franca for a long time? Pft.
Give this comment a heart SAYS
Yeah right it was a very long time ago in the golden age of malacca
@@farishaakma4289It was a South East Asian lingua franca. Hence why it's known as a "Trade Language"
hahaha i learnt that at school..
British English 🇬🇧 vs 🇲🇾 Bahasa Malaysia th-cam.com/video/23zYVASZN80/w-d-xo.html
@Aaron Sebastian First of all, do you even know what lingu franca is? Bahasa Melayu or Malay Language was indeed a Lingua Franca during the Malacca Sultanate, fyi Malacca was a HUGE trade centre hence they speak in Malay. And nooo Bahasa Malaysia is not a copied from Bahasa Indoensia babes😭Both Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia came from the ROOT langauge of Malay. Notice how our songs could sound very similar when both of us use the standard formal language of our own language.
I rase kita pnya Malaysian English comel kot haha..we mix like all the language here in Malaysia within one sentence haha..
Tapi BI la bhse paling dtakuti di sek..sy sllu galakkn murid ckpbhse inggeris..rojak pn rojak la..yg penting cube ckp
True but I think the issue is the IGNORANCE of not wanting to learn the 'proper English'... Setiap kali kawan kau betulkan ayat kau mesti kau cakap 'alah yg penting org faham' well sometimes that one word that you misused might cause misunderstanding...
So true. This happens to me as well and whenever we tegur them ,the sentence "asal org fhm" will definitely come out.
Betul. Kita boleh jadi bijak dalam bahasa apapun selagi kita bijak mengambil dan menyampaikan pengetahuan dan pandangan bernas kita.
Out of topic but Nandini looks cute with purple lipstick !!! 🤩🤩
Hahahaha! "Thank god" and then Lord Murugan's picture just comes off. Adhu semma'ya irundhucheh. xD Greetings from an Indian Tamil. 🍻
I am a malay and I can speak ,write and read mandarin eventhough my english is broken..i used to get a lot of hate comments on my english but as soon as i speak mandarin with my chinese friends those people who say my english is bad got flabbergasted and suddenly they were complimenting me but i just ignored them....😂😂
@@bhavanachouhan7293 Maybe he go to chinese school
finally someone SAYS bout it! Love you guys!
Well said nandini. Just speak english no matter how it sounds, be brave & confident that you can do it.
At least the minister willingly to try and speak english...those haters probably doesn't even know simple grammar
don't*
True, at least some people try to speak english.
Wah they think there English are so good like mat Saleh tapi English pun berterabu I always tell my friends to not be afraid to speak English if they say a wrong word I always correct them
I have recently stumbled on your videos Nandini, awesome, refreshing, amazing and so close to the bone... I can't wait to view more.
Thank you for putting it out there, no judging or worshipping, be true to yourself and see everyone as equals because that's what we are.
Another great video. There are so many other issues to address as you said and this recent introduction of khat to schools is one. Keep it up.
I love her content! It’s make sense!
3:05 Harry potter fans hit like
Yaa right
The fact that almost every single person in Malaysia is multilingual/bilingual shows that while although we may not speak good English, we speak waaaay more languages and to me that is something to be incredibly proud of, something that most westerners can’t even do.
English proficiency (or lack of it) does not determine ones' intelligence but it determines ones' English proficiency..so, i don't think anyone was saying that these people were stupid, they were just saying that their English was bad, that's all..
Agreed! Dulu pernah kena gelak dengan seorang pramugara hanya kerana sebutan aku dalam bahasa Inggeris tak betul. Lepas kena gelak terus rasa down dan tak confident. Mentang-mentang dia pramugara English dia power ikut suka hati dia je nak gelakkan orang. Orang kita memang selalu macam tu.
akmal bagi saya pramugara tu lebih kurang macam pekerja restoran je, kerja hidang makanan tapi kebanyakan pramugara ini action sebab dia orang fikir kerja dlm plane big deal. pedulikan mereka yg megah dgn english mereka, kita cakap english malaysialah
@@KalaiVani-ho8jj Itu lah, rasa malu bila kena gelak dengan orang Malaysia sendiri.
You aren't stupid if you spoke broken English, but you are if you knew your weakness and didn't make an effort to rectify it.
My friend commented that there is a need for each profession to have their tools sharpened. For example, the politician in the context is a tourism minister who represents our country communicates with half witted command of English with different accent is fine but a politicians greatest tool is how he/she communicates with others. Unlike the football players or badminton players they DO NOT use their speaking ability to play in the games or use their mouth to hit balls or shuttlecocks. So the politician would have chose his words correctly with respect to other countries had he known good command of English. Since politicians represents the public opinion, how would they without communicating would understand the public, or bring up issues to light, or make the country proud among other countries without good command of language.
Jack Montieu On point. And he has a law degree from UK. Language and communication are tools of a lawyer.
Well said Nandini, this is also happening in Indonesia, bru-hh
Semme topic ka.. I loved the way u present it ka😍
During school, I improved my English through learning science stream subjects and mathematics in English, rather than through English class itself. This means I am only proficient in English terms used in the fields of science, engineering, and technology, and excel in those areas. However, when it comes to the English subject itself, my grade was never more than a C, probably because I am not really into literature-related stuff and because I grew up in a kampung where nobody was even aware of what English was. So, I’d say my ability to speak with industry-relevant English proficiency is just a 'byproduct' of learning new skills and knowledge, which of course involve a lot of design, statistics, and calculations. For me, English is not more than just a language. If a student speaks fluent English but can't solve a simple math or physics question or explain how crude oil is formed, explored, and produced, I wouldn't give them a pass mark either 😂
Thanks Nandini, I really want to argue and talk about this. Becoz I have friends who can speak English well but they still learning 😊
Well said Nandini
My boyfriend is german, and i talk broken english, unless he understood thats all😊👍
and still the ability and intelligence of fresh graduates are evaluated on whether they are able to communicate in mandarin during job interviews despite of having same skills, knowledge and level of education with other candidates
Well said. Also, it often happens on social media especially on youtube. People made a correction sentences then said "learn english" or "rip english". People often judge and arrogantly thinking they are better than the other.
I LOVE THIS GIRL!!! I WISH SHES MY NEIGHBOURHOOD HAHAHAH
People who discriminate him or anyone. Well AT LEAST they have a life
Pronunciation and accent is an understandable thing. Grammar and fluency I feel like to a degree is a reflection of the quality of the education you have. I feel like when it comes to Malaysia, I have mixed views on English. It should be a priority since it's part of the curriculum to graduate. At the same time it's not a means to put someone down.
Mentality orang kita.. diorang fikir takpa kalau tak pandai cakap bahasa melayu, janji pandai cakap english.. walaupun pegang warganegara Malaysia 🤐🤐
Let's be real, most non-Malay Malaysians are practical when it comes to languages. Mastering English is so much more important than BM. Ultimately, there are so many aspects of being a Malaysian, it's not just to do with the language we speak.
@@Cmi1267 I don't care if I see Chinese or Indian don't know Malay. But if Malay can't speak Malay....
No need to whitewash ourselves lah. Like what she said, orang putih tu dah takde dah kat Malaysia ni. Merdeka di Malaysia sudah 62 tahun.
To me, it is fine if a person talked to me in broken English but if they critise me for not being able to understand or speak their language, thats when I don't like it. You can't even speak English and yet you critise me for not being able to speak or understand the language you only know.
Still saya faham menteri tersebut itu ckp apa..jgn ah judgenya..
i’m from singapore and i’m glad that someone finally brought this up!
English is jaasss a languageeee!
Never noticed nandini can sound like that character..haha
So true... You are amazing Nandini. Love from India ❤
Nandini what you say is really true... Good job
As long as the person can convey the message and coherence, that is all fine. In the UK, not everyone speaks "Queen's English". U hv Scouse, Yorkie, Scottish, Iris, Cockney
you are great teacher dear nanthineee
Very nice explanation from you. I just love it. I myself believe that i may not good in speaking but more in writing. Speaking and writing is two different things. Speaking requires me to understand the situation and also the person who listen to. As much i wanted to speak properly, i have to be courage enough to speak and have a good manner so that the one who listen will understand what am i trying to say and be comfortable with me. Just my sharing and thoughts. 😊
I agree with you sis...I have to admit that I'm not a very good english speaker myself..but I have my confident and I also help those who bad in english because sharing knowledge is good!
Agreed!
I love this woman. So funny on her delivery... 😂
OMG the Lord of the rings will come if she angry
terima kasih Cik Nandini.. tips yg bagus.😍
I like malays when they speak english, sounds like standard english more formal and easy to understand for people who don't frequently use english like me
Good presentation
Well said nandini!!! U deserve a round of applause 👏👏👏I love ur videos the most!
Thank you for making this video! Every American Should watch this video!!! Well done!!!
P.L. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤ Your skin complexion!
We want more nandini says!!!!😎😎😎... plz make more...
Well said !!!
Let me put it this way
Since English is just a language, it is never be a scale to measure someone intellectuals. Some people live in a group that frequently used English in their daily lives. As for some, we don’t used it as frequently. For example Japan. If you think people that can’t speak in English is stupid, how can the people that born in the “English” country end up jobless? (No offense). The judgement mentality need to be flushed away! This is the reason why people scared to try as they dont want to be embarrassed by others!!! Ko cakap org tak reti bahasa inggeris ni bodoh lagi memang aku cili sekor sekor!
Well said
Im a Malaysian currently studying in Indonesia and I learn everything to do with my degree in Bahasa Indonesia. Most of my lecturers can't speak proper English but they are like a genius in their field of work. So don't judge.
Why not you become an online english tuitor? Hahah.. Miss Nandhini one action 😂💯
I adore your energy Nanadini
This video opened my mind! Thanks Nandhini (I hope I'm spelling your name right 😅)
Language does not defined your intelligence. It's just a translator of knowledge. Knowledge is way important to master.
My God ! I am in love with this lady. Great Presentation. Please do more videos.
English - Ahhh the bloody language. You might know to speak the language but when you are in for a job interview you are in loss for words. Such a tragedy.
Well said....👍👍👍
my friends, my teachers and my family's thought i good in english that's why a got A+ on my exam but NO! i'm bad at grammar and spelling. i still can communicate with my friends and others. aiyo! so please stop doing this guys! please don't judge people lah...
superb..
Primarily we r all NATIVE SPEAKERS of our own MOTHER TONGUES....
I am totally agree💯💯
I just love your videos.
Very well said!
congrates to you nadini.i had browsed the comment section,I read every statements said by the commentators noted all of it. I am proud of you,that the commentators,gave a thumbs for your speech,to educate people people not discriminate anyone for lack of profiencies in speaking a language which is not their mother tounge. also,for my reasoning,I would like to give a an example to people who compare their superiorities to inferior people. e.g..the superior people will be good at something,but will not good at another. The inferiors may be lacking in quality of giving a speeches,but they could be a great genius in sciences and mathematical subjects. in practically,no one will be able to claim that they have every talents and geniusities in their 5 fingers. that's a lie,If anyone does claim.
Hi mam I am from Tamilnadu......ur new subscriber....so cute expressions keep it up.....
It is enough if we can undertsand BRUH. Low mentality people smh
I’m so glad this issue has been addressed
Betul tu nandini
I don't think his "English" was the most stand out things to be made fun off. I mean.....
totally agreed. i may not speak good eng but i am not stupid. i am chinese and i speak fluent mandarin. love your videos. This is Alice from Singapore.
Tak semestinya mahir English pandai .. Dan Tak semestinya Tak mahir English Tak pandai .
Saya Malay , can speak and understand English well . Tapi Saya belajar Tak pandai pun . Spm teruk , kerja kedai makan sahaja.
Sedangkan ramai je kawan2 Saya yang Tak mahir English macam Saya , tapi berpelajaran tinggi Dan bekerjaya bagus ..
It mostly depends on how you were raised . Saya mahir English sebab waktu kecil saya banyak exposed to video games Dan cartoon . Juga my father juga mahir English ..
There it 7s the malaysia version of oprah and/or ellen degeneres
Good one!
Agreed Nandini, English is not a measure of intelligence. Still I think English is important due to globalisation. There's nothing wrong in knowing both the national language and English, which was used widely before.
People who make fun of Malaysian minister have never listened to an Italian minister who tries to speak English...
Friggin love this channel la
Oh my god I loved it. Hats off to your confidence level. Fried it by the way.
I proudly proud of my English Malaysian accent...
Best video on this subject!!
Hi Nadhini I'm meera from India, Tamil Tamil nadu....I love ur talking and I love u....keep going....❤
Am a big fan of you nandini... what a humour sense. Simply loved it from Tamilnadu...
Best lah video nih👍👍👍 bukan yang cakap tunggang langgang english tu bodoh...sebab itu hanya bahasa saja. Aku punya thesis dalam english...belajar dalam english. Tak semestinya tak pandai bahasa english...cuma kurang percakapan dalam bahasa asing tu ja. Satu lagi, lecturer aku dari beijing...english dia pun tunggang langgang...tapi aku accept ja percakapan dia sebab dia bukan lahir kat amerika atau england...at least dia cikgu, kita kena hormat.
Well said. It's just a language.
So do you think he’s supposed to be graduated from uni malaya? Or uni in England if he speaks like that ? Honest answer pls
Well done.. Bravo.. 👏👏👏
Totally I agree with you!!!
Hai, Ms. Nandini. Turun Sandakan la. Kita kena ikan bakar Sim-Sim. Terbaik la, Ms. Nandhini. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Don't get fooled by pronunciations, look at the grammar. Be proud of your accent because you're exotic elsewhere!
