How Do We Sound When We Speak English by blackjack21(m): 3:14am On Nov 15, 2017 |
Hello guys, I've something I really want know. I'm a Hausa guy, but I'm grew up here in Lagos and a large percentage of the people I know and hang out with are not northerners, I even speak Yoruba like kilode. Due to the nature of my job I've come to meet different people from all over the world, most people I've met, especially Nigerians, after a short conversation their question would be "are you a Nigerian? " 3 in every 5 strangers I speak with would ask me that question. Even today I got ask if I'm a Nigerian. I noticed that it's only after people hear me speak English that they get curious. So my question is: how do we, Hausa people, sounds when we speak English? Or is this particularly to me alone. And I'm curious if I sound wired or cool |

Using the President as an example is extreme to me. Most educated Hausas I have heard speak, sound very cool. I like the way their diction is...maybe it's just me. 1 Like |

blackjack21: Hausas sound fantastic. My first chick was a Christian Hausa ! Damn, she sounded different. The way the tongue curled around her words, oh my ! No solid internet connectivity/phones then, damn it. That's how i lost her...Lolz, but you hausas sound different like the doctor in Blind Spot, see the movie, that's how you guys sound ! You sound different, uncommon, so you're definitely gonna turn a few heads when you speak. Cheer up ! I love Christian educated hausas any day any time 1 Like |
