Albert writes:- One is seen grumbling that we were fined for speaking in Konkani. The idea behind this was to help us to be fluent in English. When I was studying for my premiro grav in portuguese in Lourdes Convent school we had to converse in Portuguese during the portuguese class which was held in the evenings. In the morning we had to converse in English. Konkani is our mother tongue which requires no practice as it is the language born with us. English is the language that needs to be practiced as the pronounciations are tough and not like french or portuguese which goes by sound and writings.
