Variations of English language I was listening a radio from Nigeria and I remembered the days that I've learned English with a teacher from Lagos. When I finished my course, I had a Nigerian accent and for some people, it was strange, but for me, it was really interesting because I was speaking differently from other people. In my country, the schools have the American English as a pattern to teach. However, until today, I'm very curious to visit Nigeria and South Africa one day. Unfortunatelly, I've lost a lot of Nigerian accent and words. Since when I've been teaching English, all materials come from US or UK, but, I always teach the differences between UK, US and African English and I think it's an important subject to teach, as well as when I've learned Spanish and the teacher showed for us the differences between the Latin American countries.
