You will learn to

Judge mixed-language text by audience, meaning, and project rules.

Why this matters

Code-switching is common across Bharat. Penalising it automatically can erase real language use.

Three things to remember

  • Identify the intended audience.
  • Check whether meaning changes across scripts or borrowed words.
  • Follow the task guideline, not a personal purity rule.

Task

A Romanised Hindi workshop reminder for college students.

Weak approach

Reject every English word.

Stronger approach

Accept clear code-switching when it matches the audience; record script requirements separately.

Why the stronger approach works

Audience fit and project rules are observable; language purity is not the task.

Make something yourself

Write a short mixed-language message for a local learning circle, then explain why the mix fits that audience.

A useful starting pointChoose the script, tone, and borrowed words deliberately.
