It is a handbook that promotes quick and effective communication with Nigerians in the three major languages. It includes • easy-to-read translations from English into the three main languages spoken in Nigeria—Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa, • all translations include the phonetic pronunciation for each word and phrase; • translations for greetings, everyday phrases, and a reference dictionary.

Download or read book Nigeria Culture Smart written by Diane Lemieux and published by Bravo Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa with an internal market of 150 million people and an economy growing at around 8 percent a year, is potentially Africa's next powerhouse. It is nearly one and a half times the size of Texas, with a landmass varying from sandy beaches and tropical jungles, to plains, mountains, and desert. This important West African nation is made up of 250 culturally distinct ethno-linguistic groups. The largest communities are the Hausa in the north, rooted in the Islamic city-states of the famed trans-Saharan trade routes; the Yoruba of the southwest, where ancient kingdoms nurtured some of Africa's best-known art forms; and the Igbo of the southeast, where decentralized, egalitarian communities have produced many of the country's most successful traders and businessmen. Nigeria has had a bad press: international reports of violence, corruption, and natural disasters completely overlook the vibrancy and artistic sophistication of its diverse cultural groups, most of whom live peacefully in mixed communities. Although Nigeria is the world's fifth-largest producer of oil, there is a huge disparity in income. The competition for scarce resources and the country's dense diversity have fostered ingenuity and perseverance on the part of its ambitious citizens. They are natural entrepreneurs, and intelligent and shrewd negotiators. They are also proud, and sensitive to criticism. Most are devout, gregarious, and hospitable, and disgusted by corruption. Now, in the twelfth consecutive year of democracy after years of military rule, major political and economic reforms are under way. Culture Smart! Nigeria is a unique introduction to life there today. Most of what is written about the country comes from the perspective of one or other tribe. There is nothing quite like this concise description of its major cultural traditions. The people most visitors will meet are well-educated, sophisticated, and well-versed in Western ways. Nonetheless, foreign businesspeople cannot hope to be successful without understanding the ancient and complex systems of behavior, values, and attitudes that underlie the country's vibrant social and business life.

Download or read book Exploring Digital Communication written by Caroline Tagg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate studies or taking an introductory MA course, as well as advanced undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative ‘practice to theory’ approach, with a ‘back-to-front’ structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations. Exploring Digital Communication aims to discuss real-world issues pertaining to digital communication, and to explore how linguistic research addresses these challenges. The text is divided into three sections (Problems and practices; Interventions; and Theory), each of which is further divided into two subsections which reflect linguistic issues relating to digital communication. The author seeks to demystify any perceived divide between online and offline communication, arguing that issues raised in relation to digital communication throw light on language use and practices in general, and thus linguistic interventions in this area have implications not only for users of digital communication but for linguists’ general understanding of language and society. Including relevant research examples, tasks and a glossary, this textbook is an invaluable resource for postgraduate and upper undergraduate students taking New Media or Communication Studies modules within Applied Linguistics and English Language courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues discussed in this book reflect not only research work, but also experience by the author, to guide the mind of individuals who had been prejudiced by mind-sets, training, doctrines, beliefs, and peers. Some individual had accepted poverty, and believed they will never be rich. Some others had accepted defeat in life, and lay blames on their surroundings, friends, and families, instead of blaming it on their lack of persistence, perseverance, selfimprovement, and unceasing prayers. However, after reading this book, you will hone your thoughts. You can think yourself into success, or into poverty. You can think yourself into progress or retrogression. Our mind-sets are the powerhouse of our actions – success and failure in all areas of our lives: love, faith, sex, business, education, profession, marriage, friendship, etc... The perspectives in this book are the issues of fears, the four Idols that prejudice understanding, emotional pitfall (love, faith, sex, and anger), power of knowledge, truth and reality, power of thoughts, cultural and ethnic miscues, perseverance, persistence, prayers, peers, mental capability, information quality, and more, and their respective influences on individuals’ behaviours and successes. The author concludes this book with final words of mind guide, which encompass almost all the areas discussed in the preceding twelve (12) chapters.
