you cant help her if she's not ready to improve and if she had wanted to improve,she'd have worked on herself a long time ago!
Its hard to change a grown woman but there's no harm in trying!
Encourage her to read books,newspapers,and watch english speaking movies more(Not Nollywood!).
I pray its not too late!

Nigerian men dont have time for women with vocabs. All they want is a good cook, romantic, clean and faithful women. Then every other thing shall be added unto it grin

What is wrong with her speaking her native tongue? Maybe she was only speaking English for YOU. Have you ever thought of that? I guess not! undecided

OP its not wrong to want to help someone improve for the better but didn't you know about that flaw of hers before you started dating her?

You know its not everyone that must know how to speak impeccable english,maybe she's amongst those who's calling has nothing to do with english language,you could tell her though and see how she takes it but i just wonder how you go take present the matter give her.

I have to tell people how it is, else it will frustrate me and I end up taking it out on them. Please sort out the problem before it becomes embarassing. Tell her in a nice way. Something along the lines of baby I love you, you're perfect for me. Your only flaw is your English. Or,maybe just keep correcting her?

Swear that you'll be happy when someone says that to you. . . grin

Anyway, he could try that. But "love" entails loving her for who she is. . . Her english included. wink

are u not a Nigerian? tongue
Re: k by Adaeze003(f): 5:14pm On Mar 31, 2012
Well English is our official language so being a graduate its kinda weird that she can't speak it well. Its not a flaw and its definitely not part of who she is so my advise is that you let her know, get her books and try to correct her but don't correct her often coz it can be really annoying. Don't know how you're gonna tell her, anyone will be embarrassed by that but in the end she'll realise that its a good thing because people will also take her seriously outside, in her work place etc.

lol, u really are funny and must have a low opinion of Nigerian men. On the contrary most of them do care, if the lady can communicate or not. I know 4 sure that all my enlightened pals do care alot and all have very enlightened chicks as wives.
