That is what mother tongue influence has done to the beauty of English Language. A lot of people refer to mother tongue ‘influence’ on English, as mother tongue ‘influenza’ and have a good laugh at others’ expense. Of all the influences, the mother tongue influence is the most difficult to get rid of, or so we believe! In my Verbal Ability sessions, I invariably come across people who carry around an inferiority complex, just because they speak English with a mother tongue influence.Some people pronounce ‘measure’, ‘pleasure’,‘treasure’, ‘support’, ‘develop’ etc, and some cannot say ‘school’ or ‘zero’. The words are coolly influenced by mother tongue, making them ‘meayure’, ‘pleayure’, ‘treayure’ ‘sport’,‘divolp’, ‘iskool’ and ‘jero’ . But as you go out into the world for further studies or some other reasons, your ears open up to correct any pronunciation errors that we inadvertently made.If you are not sure about the pronunciation of a certain word, don’t feel shy or hesitate instead, ask, practice, and learn (you can take help of a Dictionary). After all any language is learnt over a lifetime!
