THANKYOU.
YuliTube it’s melanin sis
Lmao. This reminds me of when I first came to U.S in July last year. And everybody I was talking to were like "come again"? I was like common, I speak good English not knowing my pronunciations were flawed. It was so crazy. Well, subsequently, I dedicated so much of my time to learning phonetics/diction : how to position your tonugue when pronouncing the "TH" sound and the likes. Now, I ball and boss conversations with them. Although, when I communicate with my Nigerian friends, they are always like : "are you trying to intimidate us by faking an accent. Were you born in the U.S?". I laugh and wish they know how many months I dedicated to learning diction and phonetics(still learning till date). Nigerians actually got great English (most especially written) but many of the words we pronounce are wrongly stressed and not with the proper pronunciation. Even some Nigerians in U.S just learn the flow of words but their pronunciations are flawed. The best way to it is to learn all the sounds and practice them regularly. Your diction is gonna be GREAT! Do not lose the Nigerian in you anyway.
Olugbenga Pelumi thank you for the comments, my dear I totally understand them asking about they couldn’t hear what you said and one has to start learning to pronounce words the American way when we were taught the British way.
Olugbenga Pelumi Language is dynamic. That's why you have dialects. We need to learn to accept the Nigerian accent as our English dialect. Even in England they have different dialects. I've seen a good number or white men learn the raw pigin English even better than most Nigerians. So why should I be ashamed?
owoma ogbayibo exactly why should you. I personally love the different ways we all speak and languages. It would be boring otherwise, but it’s also good to learn a the people’s tongue so you can better communicate well. 😊
Rose&Phil Yes it is good. And we can adjust because we have the opportunity to learn it at school. Why it is important is the fact the you need to keep the flow while communication.
You girls are both GORGEOUS.
sure I love Nigeria including the accent
Nigerian accent is very beautiful.
That's a lie
Lol, it is o that's what makes us unique o
@@tessa_xx4938 lie for wat? Yo head dey jonze.

I had to learn the hard way. In high school, I answered a question by saying tit(breast) instead of teeth. It took me years to understand why the whole class laughed.
marclaaq I know, we all make mistakes 😊

As a black American from the Midwest in northeast ohio I have trouble with fast talking people from the east coast like New York or the Louisiana accent
loufromthe90s the Louisiana accent is so hard please. And they never try to understand our own accent.
Gorgeous
U guys are so cute

My dr is from Nigeria and I absolutely love him and everyone from Nigeria. I wish I would have friends from there besides him his wife and beautiful daughters. You girls are beautiful.
Aww thank you very much .➡️
You’re welcome
Yall cute as hell...
Damn, y'all are beautiful
Reminds me of my first few months in the UK, I hated a course because I can’t hear a word off the lecturer! I was laughed at the day I pronounced the word “balloon” I felt so bad ‘cos I thought my English was perfect lols olodo.... I pronounced balloon with all my big lips Hahahaha😀. but it doesn’t matter how good you may be, if you don’t have that accent most of them won’t get what your saying! Selfish people. I remember the day my wife upset me to the core I started speaking Yoruba! Lols excuse me she said, I can’t comprehend your funny language, go and learn ogbeni. So she’s started her Yoruba classes lols! I can’t imagine visiting Nigeria and boom started blowing British accent😀!!! I trust my conscience won’t let be sleep. I will rather speak slow and ready to repeat myself than try to impress! Who that one help. Lols
For me the issue is not speaking but hearing what they say...my mum schooled in Wales...I always ask how on earth did you understand your lecturers lol
I like American accent than British accent. Black American rock tho still love my Nigerian accent Ngbati ngbati🏃
Awww, I love this video 😊😊🤓.
thanks dear.
You're welcome 😚.
Oh my God. A Nigerian girl used to flirt with me on the phone in this accent. Memories. 😍
wow nice
your sister is so pretty
Thank you
I went to the United States in 2016 from Ghana and I am 15 and when I say stuff to the people they laughing or stand there looking confused and asking me to repeat what I said again many times,it’s like I just spoke gibberish and it irritates me all the time have to repeat what I said.
Hilda-Blessing Kale I totally understand how you feel, I was always talking too fast or pronounce differently. Don’t change who you are just focus on communicating better, talk slowly and better grammar pronunciation. Ok 🙂
@@roselyn9666 thanks for the advice
You are welcome 👍🏾
im in britain and my accent just slowly creeps up on me when i'm reading in public
Beautiful chocolate
This is a great video. I can't imagine how to communicate with the Americans having raised in Nigeria.
Davidson Vincent I know, but you always adjust, I did 😊
OK, thanks dear. I will definitely. Please if you have more tips for me email me: davidsonvincent1@gmail.com
Hahaha... do you like America? is fine :D

I love your video ... I’m in Australia and I’m taking to an African American who lives in Atlanta Georgia. She pronounces aspirin as “assperine” ... is this usual for Georgians to pronounce aspirin that way?

Pls dont let li, be who you are.
🌸🌸🌸
Beautiful woman I would love to visit the motherland
Jason Bailey thank you.
Hello, Im from Romania.Cool video.I have two questions. In Nigeria , the tribe to whom someone belongs is much more important than the country?Also what do you think about black americans calling themselves african?
It is no different from you a Gypsy calling yourself Romanian.
Nigerians.. Are the same, all tho we have different tribes, we still relate and respond to each others accent. Technically most people sound the same....except for the really illiterate ones
No matter where you're from, if you're a "Black Man" you're an African!
@@mellawrence9952 not true. Being African has nothing to do with your color, please. It has to do with culture. If you claim to be African, u must say from where, and be able to know everything about that culture and.. Let's just say the culture is crazy complicated. Blacks from other countries should just stick to being called blacks.. Period!
Wow! You didn't let her speak! I wanted to hear her accent!
Oh, she did lol and it was random. But we will do one soon.
i know, it was just a random video
what to do? what do you think?
This is so relateable lmao. I used to not talk unless it was necessary cause no one could understand me. I don't really talk to new people lol it's sad.
Sharon Aderinwale we get it, but we still need to communicate somehow lol
Same ...but you only learn by communicating .
Sharon Aderinwale lol omg it's all good
you strike a resemblance to yemi alade

😭😄

Yes
hollah by disfigure
2:58 she's speaks West Coast American English with hardly any accent foreign accent.
So does the word Wahala mean problem?
Shanelle Pierce yes it does 😊
yes
Hey,did you attend Nigerian Navy Secondary School?
yes we both did.
Am i the only one who thinks the one in black looks like nicki minaj just a lower version? cute ladies btw
Patson Juniior alright on a lower version 😊
@@roselyn9666 I really liked this video, I'm going to watch more haha ♥️
Patson Juniior thanks I appreciate it .
I used to value accent very much and I actually ended up speaking well but that's not more important to me now than money making. You can be a multimillionaire without being able to speak American or British phonetics. Think about the number of African billionaires who employed Americans to work for them.
Akuma Nwoke very true! Be yourself.
@@roselyn9666 yes oh. Accent is not what counts these days. It may not get you a Range Rover Vogue. Nothing to be proud of it.
I'm Black (not African American, and not Black American), just Black, and American language accent for a good part is all that I know how to communicate with relative ease.
However, some of my fellow countrymen for example: those from (SE part of the USA), and while I'm from (NE part of the USA) are worlds apart in understanding each other.
So, when trying to learn American accent as a 2nd language, don't be to hard on yourself - because it doesn't make a lot of sense, but somehow it does!
There's this CZcamsr who has an accent that I can't really make out. I thought he was Jamaican but after listening to Jamaicans he sounds nothing like that. Nor African or Guyanese. I'm beginning to think that his accent is fake
“Water” with a “t” is actually correct pronunciation, that also happens to be how an English person would say it, only it will have a little more poshness to it, rather than the American “Water” with a flapped “t” and all those annoying “r(s)”. Americans re-invented their own English and someone sold it to the world by virtue of becoming the world largest economy. Your English is “not necessarily” more “developed” than your sister’s simply because it has more Americanism, but I still understand the point you’re trying to make, you are definitely more developed towards the sense of American English.
I feel like Americans somehow murdered English, though.
If you speak of developed English, please do listen to someone who speaks the Queen’s English. You will definitely be shuttled straight into a celestial realm
I totally understand and agree partially. Point is to talk better and audible so you are understood. Accents are cute, but i love my naija accent.
Roselyn Abang I may have been a little too brash in my response, in a way, you are right though. Even though Nigeria is the third largest English speaking country, the Nigerian Accent still has a Long way to go. As literacy rate increases so will the accent and the overall English language spoken in the country.
At the moment, Nigerians, unlike the West, pay much more attention to grammatical construction than phonation. As Nigerian economy globalises and literacy increases further against the need for sound communication and Human Resources, we can expect to see the country’s English more balanced and posh.
I may have forgotten to tell you that you both are gorgeous. Una too fine, no be lie.
@@MooneLightEntertainment thank you oh.😊
opooooo iki ???

That's a WHITE ACCENT not an American accent lol
Worst accent in the world I'm beginning to rethink my life as a Nigerian
The Technocyte nah , our accent is bomb , don’t be ashamed
Ode... I love our accent, it's cool. I used to feel ashamed when I started talking on camera and posting online but after a while, I got used to it. Try to think about the Indian CZcamsrs who speak the way they do and don't really give a shit about thier accent, u see that u don't get bothered about it, so they probably won't with ours.
The Technocyte
Wow. You're one of those 🙄
Too much make up
