Kenyan English

Watch this video. An amazing display of a Kenyan's mastery of the English language. This individual should be knighted and built a small castle in Wales. Tanzania has to wake up! :majani7:

Mhh! How and why Tanzania comes in?? This is very common...should be clearly known that English Language in most countries worldwide, USA and UK excluded is the language for learned persons! I feel good when a broke it but feel really bad when I broke my Vernacular ("Father tongue")! We should also wonder why the interviewer failed to use the language of the interviewee!

Kenyans are mostly not good in English,their accent is too strange and rogue to understand,though they pretend to be!

These KENYANS,
They have probably the Worst and un-inviting pronunciation of the English, Perhaps more than any other African country.
Yet they look down on their fellow Tanzanians- 'The Pot calling the Kettle black'.

sounds like he is speaking in Pokot

One individual does not represent the entire nation and generalizing is a matter for another day. English is not his mother tongue and he should be commended for making that attempt. How much did he study the language? How many Englishmen can speak his native language well? Well, since chest-thumping is good for the ego, we may as well take the lovely Vanessa Mdee's articulation to be the benchmark for Tanzanian English! :cheer2:

We are always proud of our mother tongue and we speak our languages a lot, but we also speak foreign languages like Swahili which came with Arabs, we have even attempted to make it a national language. We also do use English, mostly for business and in the cities, it's a very advanced language, I am proud of my fellow Kenyans even from the villages are able to speak it even if little. In Kenya, we celebrate our diversity, we encourage our children to speak as many languages as they can, including French, Germany etc.
The world is moving fast and the more you're stuck in the rut with just one language the more you'll be left behind even with the so many mineral resources in your backyard.

By the way to be sincere, I've interacted with Tanzanians on several occasions, though they use Swahili most of the time, but very few speak it fluently, try check this out if you've studied Swahili literature, especially the ones from Coastal region. Most from other regions like Mwanza are good in the language, but the Coastal guys only tend to add some flavor in the language flow but do speak very broken Swahili.

Mhh! Sounds like a "WestGate" attack in Bongoland!:fencing:

Kiswahili ni lugha ya taifa ya Kenya. Kiingereza ni lugha ya biashara. Lugha ya nyumbani (tribe yenu) ni yako kibinafsi, na zipo zaidi ya 46.

Ni mjadala wa kawaida tu, hakukuwa hata haja ya kuandika hayo. Kwa heshima yako na ya JF, I please request you to withdraw this!
