English isn't our first Language. We're all learners. If she's open to learning, then her case has solution. 3 Likes |

Life na WA o. English can be taught, he should enroll her in an English class or find a house teacher to teach her figures of speech till she knows how to use English to a certain level that won't cause embarrassment. If she can't speak it, what about pigin and her native tongue? Did English originated from Nigeria? ![]() Who has English given scholarship to heaven? ![]() My dear, there is not a perfect human on this earth. If he likes he should leave her and marry a slay mama that can spoke and broke English like a pro but he will still complain for one shortcomings or another. Another man out there will take her and love her like she is, her English not withstanding. He should be wise. 1 Like |

Lillyane: I suggested that idea to him which he actually did, even bought her some novels and a smart phone to be surfing Nairaland and other social platforms, but he said the interest isn't even in her as all books are just dumped in one side of the wardrobe ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Ginaz: Lol this is one of my many suggestions to him because it's hard to get a complete package. English should not be a reason to leave a good girl. She is actually a good girl ![]() |

If he loves her, he should continue to date her. Learning English is not quantum physics. If his is good, chances are, she'll pick up a word here & there over time, thus improving her understanding of it. From observation, people who spend a lot of time together tend to mirror each other. I remember some time ago, someone mentioned that me & a friend of mine have the same laugh. LOL! I've never paid attention to that before but apparently we copied each other, unintentionally. After what the lady said, I started noticing it in different people eg. couples. Most couples share the same vocabulary/expressions, that's why you can tell easily when someone's been hanging around a new crowd or person...they start to speak differently or use "unfamiliar" words. 4 Likes |

No be small thing o..... I understand the fear of your cousin, that type of fear that you face, when your girlfriend is introduced to your siblings and extended family, and you just keep praying the question session should be a yes/no, else na die o. A girl I know of, once faced this challenge, she even opened up to me that the moment she stopped watching Africa Magic Yoruba and those Yoruba movies, she improved drastically, whenever she watches American movies or nollywood, she is more interested in listening to sentences, instead of what the movie is about. Though she makes little mistakes, but since I wouldn't listen to her in her dialect unless she speaks English, she improved and gained confidence in speaking well, right now Dictionary is the main app on her phone after the other social ones. If this girl is homely as you said, your cousin should just explain why she should be able to express herself well in English, as well as her dialect. We always can't have it all like oliver twist o Her certificate language is in English, her country's official language is English, her phone's settings is in English, so bro don't mind those telling you who English help. 1 Like |
