12 words Nigerians Usually pronounce wrongly or pronounce like Americans instead of British people

So, because I love you guys, I have decided to help the people who have asked me to teach them on how to speak well. well, there is absolutely no magic to it.



 I do know that a lot of people will still ask me to helpp them in the future, I decided to prepare this on daily basis for people who care to have a polished accent...whether British or American accent. so, i mentioned a couple of words we as Nigerians usually pronounce as Americans. i am really emphatic about this because, anywhere you go, people tell you that 'we are nigerians and should speak british because they colonised us'. 

 Well, I don't have a problem with anyone speaking any of the languages though. I am very concerned about speaking correctly and enunciating words in ways even native speakers of the languages can understand. 

 In this video you will learn correct pronunciations of words like tomato, privacy, pomade, advertisement, penchant, can't, and many more just check it out and follow me for new words

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather than say, I know it offha
