Be competent not English.
You can judge the "ignorance" of Turkey and the Turkish people by the fact that you will hardly find a single Turkish doctor in the whole of Turkey who knows the meaning of the English word "pain".
If you don't speak Turkish or don't have an interpreter with you, then it's very difficult to get around your Turkish.
Take the example of China, Mao Zedong's "ignorance" was that he never spoke English all his life. Whenever a joke was told to him in English, his eyelids never twitched, and when someone told the same joke in Chinese, he laughed out loud. He always said that the Chinese people are not dumb.
Take India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his mother worked as a domestic worker all his life and his father sold tea at the station. He became the prime minister of a big country. Pick up any speech of Narendra Modi and you will find him speaking in Hindi.
Such is the state of India's self-confidence that even its External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj speaks in Hindi at the United Nations. President Turki Tayyip Erdogan came to Pakistan and addressed the joint session of the Senate and the National Assembly in Turkish. The Pakistani nation, the Prime Minister and the Parliament were also told that the symbol of a nation's progress is its pride, not English.
We have reached such a level of immersion that if any of our cricketers speak in Urdu outside of Pakistan, we start laughing. His performance is measured by English instead of cricket. Unfortunately we have the standard of beauty blonde and the standard of ability English. In our country English is the sole purpose of enrolling children in school.
Sometimes I wonder why parents in America and Britain should enroll their children in school. Look at the spectacle of our mental slavery, we have made schools English and Urdu medium. The poor and decadent section of the nation will read Urdu while the rich and wealthy section will read English. In the known ten thousand year history of the world, no nation has developed in the language of another. Creativity, research and exploration are not associated with English and if you associate these things with English then that is what is happening to this country. You will not find any notable scientist, any research doctor and some innovative engineer in the entire country. How can a youth of this nation think of anything whose sole aim is to improve his English and get a top job. Who has become a pauper of the line.
The result is that now our children do not know English and Urdu is difficult. Stop any young man on the road and tell him to write a petition in English and he will start making left turns. The real shipwreck of this mobile phone is done by Roman Urdu. Our new generation has forgotten to write even Urdu words. Even the official messages of the mobile companies are received in Roman Urdu and there is no one to ask.
brother ! With which other language in the world is this cruelty becoming great that in the presence of its fonts you have to write "Roman"? No one wants to do WhatsApp or message in English, the whole nation does it in Urdu but "Roman" in Urdu. I am still unable to understand who knows how to download an app from play store and write urdu on it. We have to write in Urdu and we don't have to write in Urdu either.
I have rarely met a parent who did not discuss their child's manners, character, speech and civility, all the while bemoaning his moral condition and finally concluding that you somehow Get your English right. I have not seen any model of merit in this country and in this world because of English. China, Japan, Turkey, Germany, France and now rapidly emerging India, which of these countries have achieved success and progress due to English?
Qasim Ali Shah, the greatest motivational speaker of Pakistan at that time, and Javed Chaudhry, the best writer of Pakistan, who among them has developed because of English? Or have you ever heard them speak English? So God try to be able yourself and make the children also not English.
