It's sad but I don't understand my language .My parents didn't see the need to speak it.I guess it's cos they're not from d same place.People tell me I shld be able to speak mumsy's language,at least.But even my mumsy doesn't speak her language to us. The only language I know rite now is English.Tryin to learn a bit of yoruba cos my bf is yoruba.

Unfortunately, I can’t speak any Nigerian Language.

At least I speak pidgin, vernacular, and broken English fluently.

klas: ^^^ what language is vernacular?

Vernacular in this context is the same as pidgin, which is the same as broken English. Moreover, I was monkeying around.

I grew up in my native land, that's enough reason to learn it.

i dont remember learning my first language,english..I must have learned from my family raiseing me...my second language was Yoruba with friends at school because we did not speak yoruba at home or in the classroom lessons...2 years of playing with friends at primary school and my yoruba was sufficient for normal life there...My third language now is spanish and i just move to a spanish speaking country and study a book and watch the television with written english caption as they speak spanish and i have dictionary and some times friends give me short lessons to help..I still have a ways to go,but i have such a good foundation in spanish now that its easy to understand whats being said if the people are talking about what they are doing at the moment to include actions as examples and i can understand some abstract conversations but those are the hardest without my translation book...yo apprende poco des lengua espanol todos las dias aqui..esta bien,A Dios Vos

learnt yoruba in school(pry nd sec), Igbo was a bit of a challenge cos my friends back in sch(fed univ of agric,Umudike)constantly yab me. lol. I served in Zamfara(learning d lang(hausa) was 4 ''survival".

When I think about it now, I never really "learn" my language, and i didn't even "learn" english either. The two language just came naturally to me.

It was spoken at home. So my siblings and I had no choice but to learn it . leaned english from tv and school.

My family. Grew up in a huge family where all tribes are well represented courtsey of marriage.

at home and school
