How to avoid teaching English at the expense of our Native Languages? Rabindranath Tagore in his visit to Chennai in 1934 took a firm stand in favour of cultivating regional languages. On May 7, Rabindranath Tagore, had he lived, would have turned 154. Despite earning international acclaim and a Nobel Prize for the English translation of his Bengali poetry in 1913, Tagore was a staunch endorser of regional languages. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/when-the-national-poet-spoke-up-for-tamil/article7178633.ece

An affinity towards regional languages or one's mother tongues would perpetuate individuals and societies their unique identities along with providing the human culture other ways of perceiving the world, that is unique to those languages.

While it is absolutely important to cultivate regional languages it wouldn't be unnecessary to develop our English speaking skills especially in today's modernised corporate world. Regional languages are for the government jobs.

Before you learn any other language, you need to master your mother tongue. Next, love the language that you wish to learn. You do not have to learn one language at the expense of other. You can learn any number of languages once you master your mother tongue. Greater exposure helps you in learning.

What's the meaning of "blend in with somebody," like in this sentence, “This teacher is capable of blending in with the students.” Does it mean the same as "identify with somebody?"
'Blend in' would mean close to the meaning of mixing up so well so that the person does not stand out. SO the opposite of 'blend in' would be 'stand out' ' be different'. Whereas 'identify with' could mean understands very well and be in sync with.
