BRATISLAVA: It's like u never hear a typical Indian man speak English or eastern European. Even some Scottish accent na war. All those polished accent u encounter amongst foreigners is as a result of living in English speaking countries for years. 2 Likes |

BRATISLAVA: 'Hair' is not pronounced as 'air', and 'hears' as 'ears', my dear! The 'h' in them is not silent as is obtainable in 'honour'. Check out their phonetic transcriptions You guys should stop giving wrong teachings boldly in this social media |

You should respect Nigerians when it comes to English language. I am in school here, we write a lot of reflections in each of the courses and I have received wonderful comments from professors about my writing skills. And they do not find it difficult hearing me and my other Nigerian coursemates. Some Canadians speak English in fast, long and winding bursts and I always wonder how they breathe as they do but if you pay attention, you'll grab one or two things otherwise, you just nod your head in agreement. I agree that pronunciation is a problem and that is why you have to learn. It is not a crime to. And that is why it is good to enroll in a program here, it makes your integration smoother.

Bankowner: Thanks for your educated response. I don't have a problem with the Nigerian accent, as every country has an accent. My problem would be pronounciation. It's what makes understanding Nigerians difficult. When it comes to writing, most are capable. I would say Nigerians are better at writing in English than some English owners. |
