Girl there's many different types of broken englishes (pidgin if you prefer)......cameroonian, ghanian, sierra leonan, nigerian, all these speak pidgin in different ways......personally i am cameroonian, and i speak mine well as well as nigerian pidgin really good. You pick and choose which country you want your pidgin to reflect and then someone fluent in that can go ahead and teach you.......if you want to be pro and classy about it smiley
