Siena:

Unless you're saying the 250-odd languages in Nigeria are Nigeria's first languages, then there's nothing to discuss here.

DerMeister:

If you had learnt English as a first language, you might have comprehended his post!

Anybody who criticizes another parent over his/her decision on what language(s) to teach his/her kids is an im.be.cile!

If you want your kids to learn English as their only language, you surely have your reasons and if you want them to learn vernacular 1st, you also have your reasons.

Nigeria isn't the only country where languages are getting extinct.

I would like my kid to learn Mandarin... that's probably going to be the most important language in the world soon, who knows...

. We do not have the 'v' sound in my mother tongue neither do the Dutch! What's your point again?

i-smoke-weed:


let of descend to your level of reasoning . . . Just this once . . .

listen, the word 'HAVE' is NOT your mother tongue. It is an ENGLISH word and MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH

while pronuncing it the consonant sound 'V' is NOT SILENT and should under no circumstance sound like 'fff' as in the word 'HALF' .

if you want to do something i believe its to be done right, you can say you FLUENTLY understand/speak english and still make that kind of mistake. i an aware that your mother tongue forbids the correct pronunciation of english words . . . want to know why ? . . . BECAUSE IT IS NOT A WORD FROM YOUR MOTHER TONGUE

so when you try to speak english in future ( and yes i know you must one day come out of the village you are living in) just try to focus on the kind of grammar you use on people lest you MURDER THEM with your accent riddled bullets

dayokanu: ^^ The Nigerian born kids who never learn their Local language, Which accent do they now speak with? Or do they dont speak with accents?

honeychild: well, as for me, my children speak English first. I cannot stand people who speak English with a very pronounced accent. I also agree with the poster who said It slows you down when you think in your native language and have to translate it into English.

Languages have different structures. Constantly translating from our various native tongues to English is what is responsible for the way a lot of Nigerians 'murder' the English language- mixing up our tenses and generally speaking atrocious English. Since my kids need to speak good English to excel at school, work and business, that is the language they will have to think in.

jidegirl12: The word Schedule

English pronounce as => sedule s sound as shhh

Canadian, American schedule=> skedule

Bros leave matter for Mathias Abeg, my kids British cousins ascent is waaay different from theirs, we have to open our elephant ears to understand them.

naijababe:

Yeah, the word 'HAVE' is English and should be treated as such but most native Dutch speakers would pronounce it as 'haff' just like my Ibadan brother would! So, again what is your point?

i-smoke-weed:


is that pronunciation right ?

i-smoke-weed:


is that pronunciation right ?

dayokanu:

What is the right pronunciation for Schedule?

What is the right way to write colour, Labor, odor etc?

Tabawababy:
Our lecturer in school of Ligal studying in Kano said it is ske-dool not shai-dool that is how to say schedule.

jidegirl12:

Your lecturer should be traded in for a sound one.

naijababe:

Try listening to a Glaswegian or Brummie, you go hear am plenty

Tabawababy:
If you dont know something is better to axe becourse he is correct.
