@ poster,


Forgive me for being rude, but your English is just as horrible so be very careful pointing fingers.

If your ashamed of him and can't teach him, then leave him for someone else who's ready to help him through his faults.
But remember we might not know what we have till we loose it.

Who says to speak english na small thing. . . Ee easy

I'll rather not go out with u in the first place than deal with it. I'm sorry good diction is part of the things that attracts me. That would be a large clause to overlook.

grammar no be money.
the french ,german and other nationalities would rather speak their language than speak english.
help him correct his mistakes.he'll appreciate you more for it.
just try and do it in a subtle way.
cheers

I suggest you buy him "English without tears for Xmas".

It can be a very embarrassing situation for you when he speaks in public. Let him know your feelings and concerns in a way that won't hurt his ego. I don't think correcting him each time he makes a mistake would help for long, he'll soon start getting offended. Prove to him that you love him and he'll do whatever it takes to show that he loves you.

Here are 3 ways to keep the love aflame - http://www.peleodiase.com/blog/love-in-marriage

I agree wit u odiaseo

Or an alternative is to speak his local language whenever u're wit him. afterall oyinbo english no be our language

One more reason why it's better to marry someone from your tribe - you won't have to speak English to each other.

Yes, that's is the best option. To save you the stress of choosing what word to use and when.

According to SIr Shina Peters, "Grammar no be Money" and again, Grammer no be our Language.

I understand how it is for the Babe expecially if she speaks well, but then this is not a big case, Buy lots of books and novels for him and he'll sure change. ALternatively, the babe can be the spokesperson whenever they are with other people.

Afterall no be say the Guy na Thief, murderer or Otokoto sef,

As you described the guy couple with the fact that you yourself learned the language, if you derive interest or likeness in him i will advise you be his teacher as nothing is impossible if you want to help irrespective of his rigidity.

How come u're complaining about his english now, do u just notice?

Abi he employed someone come talk to u when he dey woo u?

why did u agreed to the relationship in the first place when u know u cannot cope

Or tell us, wether u just fine one yahoo yahoo boy wei dey use grammar deceive u.

ANOFIA--------return the guy money wei u chop oo

there was nothing wronging in a man spoked poor grammar,it is not english that a man spoked that mattered but a man abilities to tooked very good of his wife,childrens and familieses. i advising you that you should not allow english to comes among you and your boyfriend,if he loved you try and be loved him back.

Abeg wen he was "Spinning" o what were u thinkin or are u a gold-digger who is after the money and other things. See it not all about the he cares,and loves mi thing but his total "come out". OMG how embarassed u will feel in public!!!!!!

If the guy is not stubborn and he admits his english is poor. U can teach him.

Cos it can be very embarrassing

My husband spoken English is naught, but love is amazing even with all that he knew where my black box was, and i never stopped loving him since the first time he gave me a head,it was quite hard to want to say you love someone but you can only say very few or nothing at all in the language she will understand, just say it. It should make you laugh so much, that on itself is the fun part, when ever you are out there will never be a dull moment. Imagine being teleported to a Chinese village and you want somebody to eat your forbidden fruit, old count

wonders. UNA WAN CARRY AM ENTER "KPARAKPOR"( local language).
it will be too crazy to leave a guy or girl simply because of that.

solution: let him listen to BBC NEWS, CNN , SKY NEWS, very often,i mean atleast 5hrs a day, i bet you in the next one year, he will be better than you, his ascent will almost be changing, he will need to limit the language with which he speaks with friends and close associate for it to really have effect, this will work if he has a real desire to change though.

Only us nigerians blow things out of proportions, some countries don't even speak english at all.

To me, this is not even a case. u have d right 2 do what u want. But think of it this way, would you prefer those guys that could paint the whole world red with grammer but love only exsists in thier lips? He can always learn if you are redy to teach him. [img]http://Maybe you only like his money[/img][img][/img].

the package is never complete or perfect. if u truly love him then enourage him and work it out together. otherwise u know what to do.

I agree

let me come down to our level,
me no fit blow gramma for girl front because I wan make she friend me, my Igbo language is OK if she no like am make she go friend her papa.
in as much as I possessed the basic characteristics that a girl need in a man, I give no shit about English, it's only for official use.
Besides, how many poor PH.d holders get a girl of their choice?
fellows, if a girl bounce you for poor English another one will accept you for your wealth,
Bleep English, Bleep who think it's a priority.
speak that your Hausa,Yoruba, Ibo, Binni, anyone.
you can be merciful to speak broken English.

The best thing would be to teach him, even talk with him and u for an english teacher, there is no problem without a solution

@poster,

I think u shld be ashamed of yourself coming out to tell us, can't u for God sake help him out? it isn`t a disease, its just a flaw that cld be amended while blowing IT out of proportion?as if its something out of this world,imagin yourself getting married to a chinese man without english background OR baba Adedibu of Ibadan,wunt u cope if u love him?u are very selfish because uv also mention in your post that the guy get moni well well na him make u no want to leave the guy sha u be thief,don't u see it before kick starting the relationship in the 1st place why the clamouring now?make u take your time ooooooo.GOLD DIGGER.

how did the guy toast u sef sure it went lyk this (good mornings my names is MUFU what is your names
"i don dey" sorry i af bin seeing you 4 everywhere so i wan hail you

he realises he cant continue wit the eng so he says

em, how ur papa nw,
hope say everything dey ayt
i go like seeu for my house
u go fit come,

a, ya, i feel 4 the guy and he is sucessfull, the only person i blame is his english teacher in pry sch omo the guy no try at all

If he has money,we can manage

why should i even toast a girl in english? These unna self wey carry another people language and culture above unna own, na you pipulu dey spoil our mother Afrika. There's a Yoruba saying that goes: "Odo kii san ki o gbagbe orisu re, "! And any river that does forget it source would surely dry up. Forget the boy's spoken english and look at the character! If its good, go get him before someone else does. Remember, Obasanjo census claims there are more men than women in Nigeria. Dont be too snobbish and selective.

In this oyinbo country wey i dey so jeje, if i no fit talk dem Girama, yet i fit nakk, I go get dem phlenti phlenti. As long as mething is strong, who needs spoken language?

BTW: I am very fluent in spoken and written Yoruba (n Ilaje dialect ofcourse), German and English. I can also say some dirty words in Hausa, Igbo, Chinese, Russian, Kiswahili etc.

Abo oro l'a nwi fun omoluabi, ti o ba de inu re a di odindi. Epini ti mo ni l'eyi!


Fun gbobgo awon Kenimani:
E ma ma yeee, eyin keni ma ma ni o, e je' nlo 'gba ara mi o, ebe mo be o.

Hun ara Ilaje, ahan olobele oma 'malokun ati dede oma Naija:
Mo ki dede oma Ilaje ati dede one yi mi fe ire 'pe: Odon yi a tu dede wa n'ara o. Ede Ilaje mo fo rin o. Le o yemi, le o bami, an le o dede one.

Pls: I am looking for some1 to teach me Hausa and Igbo. I am no more the youngest, therefore you have to be bery bery easygoing and patient persons.

Addendum:

Honestly, a girl that complains about my poor english is gone for good, however beautiful she might be. At this stage I have reached now, I have no admiration for any of these english apologists. Get real people and adore the real thing. If i wanna get low with a hausa yanriya, i'd try to toast her in Hausa. If its Igbo, I wont even speak. I'll let me EURO talk for me. And if its a Yoruba girl, ma gbe lenu jo pupo pelu ede tashere mi. Ma jeki o mo wipe: "omo o ti wa ju! Ti o ko ba ba mi lo, ma comit nitori e ati beebee lo, ".

lol

Ladies put it this way
wealthy man but poor english
english master but poor man
ladies vote and see how many of you in the house will choose poverty.

fizofly:

Hello ladies can you go out with a guy with poor spoken english? This guy is okay financially, he is good looking, and with a nice atitude. but the greates flaw is that he speaks his english really badly and considering that fact that the chick he is dating is quite creme.
Should she leave him or what 'cus she has tried her best to correct or caution him but mbah the home boy still dey trow missles.

I understand that you are the guy in question! but keep ya head up and don't let any village girl run you down because of language(foreign).
