Dear Diana,
My girlfriend is from Himachal Pradesh. She moved to Mumbai a year ago for better job prospects. Her English, however, is not good. She understands the language and can speak it as well, but messes up on the grammar and pronunciations. I often correct her. Initially, she was eager to learn, but now when I correct her it is a cause of concern. She ends up fighting with me.
