Do My Words Reach
Her Ears?
 This post was sent by Kanchan Bannerjee. Kanchan Bannerjee is a Trustee of Pratham Books. She
is a sociologist and is trained in communications and teaching childrenwith learningdisabilities.
 She is also the Managing Trustee of Akshara Foundation. She has been associated with the
planning, design and execution of several of AksharaFoundation’s programmes since 2000.
 Under a UNICEF programme, she has created graded readers for entry level classes in
Kannada and Hindi for Karnataka and Chattisgarh State Government syllabi. She writes
books for early readers, especially bilinguals, designed to introduce a second language in
agraphicandfriendlymanner.
 It puzzled me when some people say, "I used to be able to speak in such-and-such
language, but now I have forgotten it". How can one forget a language one has learnt, I
wonder. Perhaps this is possible if the immersion at the time of learning has not been
effortlessandstress-free.
 This is one of the Indian Classics Stories which is related to languages, so I try to grab
every opportunity to speak the languages I know - when I am in appropriate company,
rather than speak in English which is now the 'universal' language - no questions asked.
(Comic BooksOnlineIndia)
There are some quaint words in Konkani, which are increasingly being replaced by
English words in conversation. (Konkani does not have a script of its own - it has adopted
eithertheDevanagariorthe Romanscript).
 There are some quaint words in Konkani, which are increasingly being replaced by

eithertheDevanagariortheRomanscript).
I like the way some of these words roll off the tongue. For example "kuler" meaning 'spoon' is being almost
entirely replaced by the English word. Or the word "alli" whichmeans that 'there is less salt in the food'. And
I try to find the etymology of the word, the sister language that it might have come from into Konkani. and
sometimes Ifind no answers.
I am trying to expose my almost-two-year old grand-daughter who lives in the USA to Konkani every time
we have a Face time session, which is twice or thrice a week. She is always flitting around, but I am sure my
words reach herears.
THANKS!
