My Girlfriend's Grammar Is Terrible, How Can I Help Her Pls? by Prolificdeman: 3:25pm On Aug 27, 2022
I'm a Crypto trader, and my lifestyle is more of a solitude type. I met her about 5 months ago, though the relationship start-off in more of a funny manner. She complements my lifestyle reason I choose to stick with her.

I must say, she's respectful and a very good listener and highly caring. But my only problem with her is her Use of English.

Somehow, I noticed its a foundational issue. She went to a bad primary and secondary school. And secondly she kept dull friends who doesn't help her improve herself. She's a very slow learner. I have tried my very best to avail her some resources to aid her growth, yet little or no improvement from her end.

I referred her to quora, some facebook groups and our own Nairaland, yet from one excuse to another.

I believe everyone can't be so smart but one should able to express themselves, and be intelligent to a functional capacity.

I'm from a background where people compete so much with educational and literary prowess, now imagine rolling with someone that can barely write few lines without an error.

To be honest, I'm not the womanising type and my profession barely gives me such privileged.

I personally love this lady due to her godly and caring nature(wife material) and won't want this stuff to set us apart.

I'm afraid of ending up with a slow partner that may likely affect the next generation. And I'm keen on helping her in a every way I could.

People that have had such experience, how did you help your partner grow.

PS: I have to rush here to type this stuff without proper proofreading after we had a heated argument this afternoon because of this same issue.

Stop wasting your time or hers if you can't accept her the way she is. There's no perfect human out there.

Certainly in Nigeria of today, you will see a good HOME TEACHER who will brush her up in no time with 10-20k every month.
Get the lady English teacher and stop ranting...
Or better still you go for a lady who speak fluently.
NB
Just know that their will be pro and cons to this.

Someone who is ready to learn will be serious when being taught. Her attitude towards learning proper English shows she isn't willing to learn and such person will be difficult to teach, even in other areas. If you can't cope and accept her the way she is, you can call d relationship off.

If you like, listen to people telling you SIT HER DOWN, TAKE HER TO SCHOOL, IF YOU LOVE HER, IS ENGLISH OUR MOTHER TONGUE?
she would dump you or mock you with her LEARNED boyfriend if tables were reversed. Life is too short to worry about a girl you have not married. it is just like you are writing an exam but you want to spend all your hours solving one question when there are 100 others with less problems.

You want to start teach an adult how to read & write? All the stress. Is that what you should be enjoying in your relationship? You can't even go out with her. Even in private she will still disgrace you with her text/whatsapp messages. Even if you take her to Havard, she will still turn back tomorrow and use her enhanced grammar to say WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THAT NOBODY HAS DONE FOR ME BEFORE?

5 months? you try sha. Maybe her pussy lips speak better in languages that you like and that is why you have kept her for so long. My dieck can't even shift if we can't have a proper conversation at first sight. Men dey try sha.

Dump her and find the one that suits you so she can also find someone who is comfortable with her jagajaga grammar and everything will be balanced. Stay with her & you will keep frustrating her and yourself too. One day she might get pissed off with your endless corrections, pour hot water on you and claim that you always make her feel bad & bullied.

It's a matter of choice. If she's too dull and can't comprehend things, and also poor in english as well, don't marry her. Except you're ready to invest in her to meet up with the standard you want. Intelligence in children is gotten from their mothers. Even no matter what, think of your children academic performance in future. Your babe is not intelligent.

A child's intelligence is from the mother; don't marry a woman who doesn't have good memory or who can not keep up with intelligent conversation.
Op, just keep Fvcking that girl and dump her when you're ready to marry.
Do otherwise and regret.

Thumbs up for you man.

I wrote my daily plan on a piece of paper because I might forget something due to office activities.
One stupid girl I was initially planning to ask out saw the paper and began to laugh. She called her dump friend and both foolish girls laughed together. They were like "why will someone write his programs down?"
I smiled scantily and continued my work. That was the day I ditched the plan of asking the pretty girl out.

Another girl saw it and was like "hmmm. You're an intelligent man. I do this too". We became good friends with her later that day.

Moral lesson: don't date stupid girls and don't keep foolish people around you; they're worst than COVID-19.

Many valuable relationships have ended in disaster because one side thinks they can change the other. You can't change her — and shouldn’t even try to in the first place. Her grammar is her problem. And your family completing for educational and literary prowess makes everything worse.

If her grammar is not a big deal for you, you could encourage her to improve. But unless you sign her up for a diction school or app (I think the BBC has one), I doubt there's anything else you can do to "help" her. Quora, Nairaland, and Facebook Groups will not improve her English even if she tried. Alternatively, she could read news sites like the BBC and The UK Guardian to learn how native English speakers write and talk, but that will only work if she's the type who likes reading the news and is interested in studying how English is written and spoken.

Other than that, if her grammar is a big deal for you, and her good characteristics are not enough to compensate for it, end everything and let her go.

Who the hell told you this?

You guys will just be giving advices anyhow.

If her spoken or written English is the only problem she got, then I would say you are lucky.

Patience Jonathan isn't better and her husband was a president/lecturer, you should complement her.

Don't stress her to learn, atleast you guys can communicate properly, you are more concerned about how she will impress your friends and families.

NB: if you dump her and marry wahala, those people you want to impress won't be at your home to suffer with you.
