Hi Nairalanders's
I have a friend who is not very good in speaking and writing english language.
He wants to develop him self personally in that area.
If you guys knw a place where they study language in Lagos plz let me know.
He has been to Alliance Francaise in Yaba, they don't do English language, only foreign language.
He just need a 3 to 6 months study thing.
He is in a place that require's good communication and presentation
Pls reply

I'm not particularly sure of a very good center in Lagos.

However, i'd recommend you advise your friend to buy and read as many novels and journals  as possible, this has proven to be one of the best and most effective ways of polishing English speaking skills, he should also try contributing to online forums such as Nairaland.


He might not stand to gain so much from attending English classes, except of course if he has an exam to write

Tell your friend to go to Unilag, and ask for Professor Mrs Ebun Clark. She's the wife of the famous JP Clark.
She runs a consultancy called 'Lagos School of English and Mathematics', specializing in speaking and writing skills for individuals and corporates.

Hello exttobliss, tell your friend to meet Mr. David, the English Language Guru, for one-on- one coaching in English Language. I vouch for this guy. You and your friend are assured of an excellent service. He stays in  Lagos. Call him on 08031890545. Good luck.

Wish I knew.
I will ask someone though. She used to organize Business Writing training for my former employer, around 8 years ago.

Well, speaking is almost independent of writing. It is actually easier to write and communicate effectively than to speak and try to do the same. Speaking grammatically correct English is mostly about practice and knowing what the rules are.

To write, here are a few books that might help:

1. The Grammar Bible: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Grammar but Didn't Know Whom to Ask
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805075607/ref=oss_product


2. Painless Grammar (Painless Series) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764134361/ref=oss_product

the frankly truth have been told by violent and wallie. Learning is a process and not a quick magic.
My contribution is that you join the Visionites' Forum. Effective Communication is what the Forum exists for. I believe that should help some more, with what others have said.
Good Luck. cheesy cheesy
