How Can I Make My Baby Speak Good English by jaksmillioniar: 4:14pm On Aug 16 |
My baby girl will be 4 years in december to enter nursery2 soon I wish to ask dat how can I make her speak good English. I see some children dat Neva even travel out yet wen dey talk dey speak like oyibo. Thier English is so nice. I dont speak English to her cos is important she learn yoruba now. Dan I Neva want dat she cant cos I wish to travel abroad soon. The problem is dat I put her in a skool were I pay over 100k a big skool yet I Neva like how she talk. I meet d H.M she say dat dey try dia best I dont know weda to change her skool. Also I warn my wife not to speak yoruba to her but she wont listen she disobey me. As dad I speak yoruba to her why u as mum do same. It alredy causing issue between me and my wife. Wat can I do? |

No be those schools wey dey collect 100k and below produce those children you dey admire. Those children you dey admire, their nursery school fees na millions. Their play class alone cost at least 200k per term. In Nigeria, only a Catholic school will charge 100k or less and still provide quality education. 4 Likes |

immortalcrown:you don’t have sense. So a school of 100k at nursery 2 is too poor or what? OP where are you guys located? Environment matters a lot….forget how you and your wife are communicating with your baby. If Una dy town…we’re the general language is English,,she will learn from her age grades. 1 Like |

jaksmillioniar: @Op. You and your wife are the ones with the main job to do and not the school. How can you and your wife speak yoruba and expect the young child to speak phonetics? At 4 years, she is still so young and is observing her environment as children learn by imitating others. Please, you and your wife should speak good English to her and teach her to respond in like manner. She can still change, but the earlier, the better. 1 Like |

Start making her watch only foreign films and movies even kiddie shows. She will learn to understand and pronounce English words better faster than most her age On no account should you allow your kids watch nollywood stuffs those their shows usually reduce the IQ of budding kids who are to survive in our future. DON'T HANDICAP THEIR FUTURES also teach them their mother tongue in between their oyibo shows so as to make them get accosted to it. Pidgin is what they will unconsciously learn themselves 1 Like |

jaksmillioniar: Smh. No be you again? Please put cartoons for her. Ensure it is not the cartoon with LGBTQZF. Make the pikin no confuse. You are not wrong for speaking Yoruba to her. Neither is your wife. From what you typed, your problem is her accent. Not that her English is bad. You said she doesn't speak like "oyibo". So the poor girl speaks well, but you want her to speak through her nose. Many people you see who speak that way learned it. There are teachers for that and they are different from English teachers. Not every school has them and I don't see why it should be a bother to you. You don't speak that way. Your wife doesn't. She isn't taught in school. Why are you stressing that small girl? Finally, 100k school fees per term isn't bad anywhere in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Take your child to a standard Montessori school and employ a phonics teacher to train you and your wife. That way your child will learn both at home and at school. It is money sha but your girl will do better in both English and Mathematics. 1 Like |

jaksmillioniar: The combination of two or all of these will produce the desired outcome: Watching children cartoons Get her children tab with many games, children rhymes and video English lessons. Enroll her in phonics class! |
