Secondary school grammar.

I pity people who had bad English teachers.

Meanwhile, there's the American English and the UK version, nigeria claims to use the UK version but manage to sound somewhat American.

Onyejemechimere:
There are words we use in almost our day to day activities, words we pronounce wrongly everyday, without Knowing we are.

Using the word “Sachet” as an example, we pronounced it “Sah-chet” While the correct oral pronunciations should be “Sa-shay.”

Here are a few correct pronunciations to guide us:

1. Vegetable

2. Divorce

3. Vehicle

4. Often

5. Sachet

6. Résumé

7. Chaos

8. Data


Did you just learn some new tips, Well that try to is what we all should do everyday to be more smarter for a smarter Nigeria

I couldn't read through all the replies, hope someone has pointed out to the OP to refrain from using double comparative.

Thanks professor.

I do not know the difference between country and the language. It that makes you feel good about yourself. John speaks England and he lives in English. Ego must be the size of adult elephant now. cheesy grin grin grin grin


My point remains same. Oral "England" is poor in Nigeria. Far below the level of 1940s to 60s. It wasn't and isn't about written language.

Good luck to you anyway.
