Evangkatsoulis:
How you take meet this kyn person?

facebook

Bass123:
Bros I have a friend who had same issues, do you know what he did?
He started teaching her primary one English till she improves. If you think you have the time go ahead and tell her how bad her English is and the need to improve.

Thanks a lot bro

Quiescere:
Since pronunciations are the only problem, all she needs is practice. A tutor should come in handy.

You're being condescending + stopping her from improving by switching to Yoruba when she's trying to keep up with you.
That means she wants to learn and is the moment you should be correcting her mistakes, not shutting her down!

There was no where i said i shut her down, the reason i switch is to make it easy for her to pass what ever she wants to say easily

If he tolerated her native-screaming during sex without complaining, he should also do the same outside the bedroom.

we have not had sex yet

MissRaine69:
Tell her the truth.
Explain how it will help with work and interacting with people who don’t speak Yoruba. As that is a true reality.

waoo.. i never thought of that, that is very smart of you, i will tell her this night!

Oyindidi:
make una use Yoruba na, no be by force to speak English

hmmm

MissRaine69:
I have never met a native English speaker who looks done upon those that speak English poorly when it is their second or third language.
Have you tried to explain this to her without being condescending or patronising? Is she open to lessons?
She cares for you but you are worried about her English maybe she is too good for you.

I dont know how to tell her, i don't want her to feel bad about it that is why i am trying to help indirectly. I live in Lagos, and i have friends.

donstan18:
Which language she dey scream in if you dey fvck am?

seriously?

Hi Nairalander,
There is this girl that loves and care about me so much but i don't like the way she speaks in english language.
I understand that she was born in Ogbomoso, Oyo state and still lives there so this has really affected her pronunciations .
Am looking for how i can help her. I try to speak in english to her when we talk,but it cuts the flow of the conversation as she tries to keep up with me by forcing herself, so i will have no choice than to switch to Yoruba.

Guys i need your advice on what to do.
Thanks
