Phonetics

More than 10 years experience

Oral English forms a part of U.T.M.E and WAEC syllabus. It has also been given a space in the primary school curriculum. Besides learning Phonetics to pass your Exams, you need it for effective communication. Poor diction can hinder effective communication and no employer wants to hire someone who can't communicate effectively. For your speech to be intelligible it has to meet the international standard. This means that people outside your region including the international community should be able to hear and understand you when you speak.

Most of the English phonetic sounds do not exist in our local alphabet so we use the sounds available to us in place of the English speech sound not available. This accounts for why many Nigerian English speakers pronounce "bird" as "bed" and "mother" as "moda". Unfortunately, not many English Language teachers are good at phonetics. But, cheers! I can help you learn phonetics and improve your speech quality. I will help you learn all the English phonetic symbols (pure vowels which are divided into 7 short vowels and 5 long vowels; 8 diphthongs, and 24 consonants) and how they are produced. You will also learn about stress and intonation. I will not stop at that, I will help you improve your diction as well. I have helped many students and even adults in this regard. I can help you too if you let me work with you.

The best time for a child to gain proper speech acquisition is from early childhood, as soon as the child begins to speak, and before the local language spoken in his environment gains strong hold on him/her.

Let's catch them young. I will always be there when you call.
