The Mysterious weaving of the English Language
The structure and
teaching method of the English language has been totally renovated by Jacob Nettikkatt of Nettikkadan family,
a born philologist, through his new book “Easy Way To Learn English”
in four volumes, out of his personal research for 52 years at home as a
hobby. It may create ripples in the global educational field, because it
contains a Hi-tech, novel method, a mysterious way of weaving the English language.
The four volumes of the book “Easy Way To Learn English” is the
storage of 5700 inventions and discoveries on the English language, making
the inventor/discoverer the No.1 philologist in the world. It can be verified first whether there is anybody
else who has made 570 inventions/discoveries on the English language so far.
The book also claims to have pushed the western world behind by
hundreds of years in the English teaching method. Also it is claimed that the
newly invented methodology is a long ladder with 1877 steps to climb to the
zenith of the English language from the bottom. A bigger claim is that an average English
Medium high school student can gain more useful knowledge about the English
language from this book than a postgraduate in English literature gets from his
degree course.
Another claim the inventor can make is that the book facilitates the
fastest English Class in the world, because he conducts a residential
English course for 10 days for those who
can understand English very well but who have no confidence to speak well. Such people, by doing sufficient practice,
can get good communication skill and ten times more knowledge in English
than they got from their college studies.
For the weaving of the English clothe, Mr. Nettikkatt uses all the eight
categories of Verb he has discovered.
Each category of Verb is shaped into maximum 15 Tenses (these being
his own discovery). Then each Tense
of each category of Verb is processed through 32 families of sentences based on 32 purposes (undergoing change in
the verbal form or its position in the sentence 32 times).
The
new book “Easy Way To Learn English” enables one to set the journey from one
end of the English language and sail to other areas very scientifically ie
very easily, systematically, fast, comfortably and with high interest to get
communication skill and a scholarly grip of the whole language in an
unimaginably short period. It helps to produce the simplest sentence in
English by teaching how to fill in the three columns of a sentence under the
captions ‘Actor, Action and Receiver of Action’. The book further enables one to change the
sentence maximum 15 times by changing the Tense of the Verb in the sentence and
by adding appropriate timing, which varies in meaning.
The book pioneers the learner to drive those sentences through 32
families of sentences. In each family either
the form of Verb or its position undergoes some change. Also the purpose and meaning of each sentence
change.
The
book further leads the learner to move forward through Voices - Active Voice
and Passive Voice sentences. Thus the total number of types
of sentences discovered by him in English and taught in the book becomes
1877. 1877 simple techniques
(formulae) are invented by him to teach as many types of sentences, one
technique being ear-marked for one type of sentence.
A great
contribution of Mr. Nettikkatt to the English language is the depiction of
all 1877 types of sentences in English in a chart form, which has been
divided into the written area (1125 types) and the spoken area (752 types).
For the picture, visit another heading “Science in language learning” in
this website. Again in the spoken area, sentences are categorised according to
their priority for effective teaching based on his discovery that ‘a
selected 15 categories of sentences are repeatedly used by people in ordinary
conversation at least 75% time’.
Another discovery is that ‘a selected six categories of sentences are
used 50% time’. The most stunning
discovery is that ‘a selected three categories of sentences are used 35%
time’, offering an average gain per category of sentence learnt at the rate of
11.6% of the total communication need in ordinary conversation. Such
capsules of discoveries excite the learner and motivate him tremendously to
start the learning on a high pitch of enthusiasm.
Thus the new
book ushers a learner into the wonder terrains of the English Language with
amazing speed and equal quantum of interest and thrill, making the learner
a master in English language. It is
an enlightening process of progress and enrichment of the English language as
well as the learner at the same time.
The entire
system of teaching English in the new book is built up on a rational and
logical footing. The headings for the three columns Actor, Action and
Receiver of Action are assigned very rationally and logically, through an
experiment under the caption ‘research’, so that the learner will be absolutely
convinced about the need for that. Then
some sample sentences are given to convince the learner of the viability and
guarantee of result of the method.
Let us
have an example how the system progresses.
Let us suppose that we have made the simplest sentence as “ Tom watches a bird ”. The Verb in
this sentence can undergo changes according to 15 Tenses, as :
(1) Tom watches a bird. (2) Tom watches
a bird daily; (3) Tom is watching a bird; (4) Tom has watched
a bird; (5) Tom has been watching a bird; (6) Tom watched a bird;
(7) Tom used to watch a bird; (8) Tom was watching a bird; (9)
Tom had watched a bird; (10) Tom had been watching a bird; (11)
Tom will watch a bird; (12) Tom would watch a bird; (13) Tom will
be watching a bird; (14) Tom will have watched a bird; (15) Tom will
have been watching a bird.
Each of the above sentences can be processed through
the 32 families of sentences, in which case either the Verb will change the form or it will take a
new position in the sentence. All
the Tenses and all the categories of Verbs will not fit in all the 32 families
of sentences. An example will make better understanding in the serial order
of families of sentences :
(1) Tom watches a bird; (2)
Tom does not watch any bird; (3) Does Tom watch any bird
?; (4) Does Tom not watch a bird ?; (5) Watch a bird; (6) Do
not watch any bird; (7) Please watch a bird; (8) Please do not
watch any bird; (9) Tom has to watch a bird today; (10) Tom does not have to watch
any bird; (11) Surely, Tom does watch a bird everyday; (12) Certainly,
Tom does not watch any bird now; (13) Tom can watch many birds
now; (14) Of course, Tom cannot watch 200 birds today; (15) Tom may
watch a few birds today; (16) Tom may not watch any more birds
today; (17) Tom should watch some more birds today; (18) Tom should
not watch any more birds today; (19) Tom must watch at least 200
birds today; (20) Tom must not watch any bird today; (21) Tom ought to watch some more birds
today; (22) Tom ought not to refuse to watch any birds today; (23) Can
Tom watch some birds today?; (24) Can Tom not watch some
more birds today?; (25) O.K. Let Tom watch some birds today; (26)
No, Tom cannot watch any birds today; (27) May Tom see 500
birds today!; (28) May Tom not
watch a single bird today!; (29) Come on Tom, let us watch some
birds today; (30) No, Tom, let us not watch any bird today, but read a
book instead; (31) How nicely Tom watches birds! (32) How
badly Tom watches birds!
In Passive Voice :
A bird is watched by Tom; A bird is not watched by Tom: Is
a bird watched by Tom? Is
a bird not watched by Tom? etc.
(A few families will be omitted in Passive Voice).
When one learns to make each type of sentence in
English by knowing the following four items, the learner gets perfect knowledge
and builds up incomparable confidence :
(a) The
technique (formula) to make each type of sentence; (b) what is the exact time or occasion of use of each type of
sentence; (c) what is the purpose of the sentence and in which family of
sentence does the sentence fall in; (d) what is the accurate meaning of the
type of sentence.
Mr. Nettikkatt ascribes this method of teaching to
be responsible for his success in inventing the “Linguistic Yardstick” to
measure unwanted complexity in each
language, so as to be able to assess which language is easier or more
difficult than another language, and to arrive at the conclusion that
Malayalam is the easiest language
in the world to learn and practise.
It should be noted that his request for financial help was rejected by
NCERT, New Delhi, on the ground that their top scientist along with two
American scientists failed utterly to invent the mentioned “yardstick”
inspite of their effort for long years and came to the conclusion that “it
is futile” to try to compare languages. It may not be out of place to
mention here that Mr. Nettikkatt taught Malayalam to a lady Dentist from
Karnataka and a lady from
The book also demands that future research in
languages should be based on the line of teaching described in this book,
particularly going through the usages of Verb (total 1877 in English).
