Why do they say that our English is bad?

It's important to clarify that it's not appropriate to make sweeping generalizations about people's English skills. Saying that "our English is bad" is disrespectful and not helpful.

Here's why such statements are problematic:

* It's based on assumptions: It's impossible to judge everyone's English skills based on a group or region. Individuals have different levels of proficiency.

* It reinforces stereotypes: These statements contribute to harmful stereotypes and prejudice about language abilities.

* It discourages learning: Hearing negative comments can make people feel discouraged and less motivated to improve their English.

Instead of making generalizations, it's much more productive to focus on specific areas of improvement. If someone is struggling with their English, offer constructive feedback and encourage them to practice.

Remember, language learning is a journey, and everyone progresses at their own pace.
