Learn to Speak Pidgin English in One Session

What you will experience

Pidgin English is one of the most expressive languages on the planet. It's spoken across West Africa by millions of people and once you hear it you'll never forget it. It takes English and bends it into something warmer, funnier, and more direct. Instead of "I'm very hungry" you say "hunger dey tear my belle." Instead of "leave me alone" you say "comot for my front." It's poetic and it's hilarious. In this session I'll teach you how to hold a basic conversation in Pidgin English. We'll cover greetings, common phrases, how to express emotions, how to argue, how to flirt, and how to order food. Everything you need to survive a day in Lagos or a conversation with your Nigerian coworker who keeps saying things you can't understand. The lesson is interactive. We'll practice back and forth, role play scenarios, and by the end you'll be able to string sentences together that would genuinely impress a West African person. I'll also teach you the phrases that get the biggest reactions so you can drop them casually and watch people's faces light up. This is one of the funniest experiences you'll ever book because Pidgin is inherently comedic. The expressions, the exaggerations, the drama baked into every sentence. You'll be laughing the entire time while actually learning something you can use. Perfect for couples where one person is Nigerian, coworkers who want a fun team activity, language lovers who want something completely different from Duolingo, or anyone who's ever heard Pidgin in a song and wanted to know what was being said. Wetin you dey wait for? Come learn.
