I am responding to a wonderful proposal by Mr P Rodrigues In the Goanet Digest Vol.3 Issue 156 - The Internet: A Teaching Tool For Konkani.
Mr Rodrigues makes a proposal I would gladly make myself available as a pupil. I would be interested in the Roman Script as Devnagri is more than beyond me. Furthermore, it would suit me to log on at a time convenient to me to pick up at a point in a lesson where I might have left it previously. I would find it difficult to log in at a particular time or daily for that matter. I am sure there may be others like me who would prefer this flexibility I request. Secondly would there any written text I could avail myself of and to which all contributors, to the teaching of Konkani on the Internet, would conform to in order to be consistent with a logical and programmed presentation of grammar and vocabulary for the benefit of the Internet pupil? It would be sad for this wonderful idea to lose support because pupils may find it difficult to keep up with the pace or the presentation. Then there is the question of the different dialects and there must be many though my limited knowledge brings to mind the dialects for Salcete and Bardez in Goa. I would be very interested in knowing how the presentation would best be progressed in due course. Thank you Mr Rodrigues for coming up with this proposal and as a would be pupil I would like to see it come to fruition. PS. I enjoy reading the contribution from Mr Domnic Fernandes (in Konkani and with translation) under the title 'AICHEA DISSAK CHINTOP'. I wonder if Mr Fernandes would consider producing a compilation of all these wonderful gems. Domnic Agnelo Fernandes
