hi everybody how y'all doing, ok how can i learn and speak pidgin english, i was raised as being poised, clean nails, diny table, always speak english and shhyt like that, i cant speak pidgin but i wish i could, in college people speak pidgin sometimes and i wish i could as well, they'd be laughing and talking fast i understand them but i wont be able to say anything because its not cool when i say it lol even other students from other countries have asked how come i dont talk like the other nigerians, i have learnt some pidgin words like 'how you dey' or 'make it dey waka, oya alele' but how do you say it all together and express the things you want to say, i've been told its not always cool to speak pidgin though but i just want to learn and speak a little anyway, even when i went back to nigeria all my friends from SS1 are now speaking pidgin they had learnt it from university, so who know how to speak n learn it, i just want to learn a little and have a little idea.

~Check Out the "Culture Section" there are a couple of threads there on Pidgin!

iice:

When you stay and mingle enough with naijans[b]_{not 'forming' ajebotas} ,[/b] you'll pick it up eventually. Or maybe have a friend who speaks it teach you. Even sites you can learn from like here

~Dunno why i find the word "Ajebotas" funny,i aint even got a clue what it means!
