Dear Readers ,
Am a married man within Lusaka, My wife is extremely beautiful, just the way I always wanted. We are happy in our personal life, but it started getting awkward, when I took her for outings with me. Her inability to speak fluent English ended up embarrassing me in front of my friends and colleagues. As a result, I have stopped taking her out for gatherings. It has led to a lot of misunderstanding between us. Recently, things blew out of proportion when she saw my photo tagged in an office party on Facebook with a woman sitting close, who happens to be my office colleague as well as friend. I don’t want to hurt her feelings by telling her that she embarrasses me in front of my friends. What should I do?
Just pay for her English studies at any university and you will prove yourself wrong.
Why not use your local language or may she is fluent in Tonga????
aii! Pretenders using other peoples language. I’ve never come across a group of chinese people using english among themselves, Kamofye bachifita fititi, bena ati echipale kanshi bungwa!!
In the United States we do have people from all kinds of nations and languages, many of whom are not very conversant with the English language and are not even embarrassed a bit for the fact.
Am sure you love your wife and she does love you too and that she’s loyal too. Never mind the office girls, they do have their issues too.
you are very foolish. take her to school
You idiot
Use the language she’s comfortable with even when you are with friends. Be proud of your spouse because you knew she was not educated when you married her. You can then either take her back to school or better find her a private tutor. Some former first lady used the latter strategy and life became easy. Stop complaining foolish boy. Those educated workmates will never fit your loving wife’s shoes. Imagine how you would feel if you were in her position. You are even lucky that she speaks broken English that is courage on its own and am sure she is willing to learn. English is just but a language we all learnt for convenience’s sake and hence should not be a measure of ones intelligence. Do what pleases your family and not friends.
one d you have impressed me with your comment. that is how a good man should think. i am proud of you dear .
I salute you one d ulimuntu sana!doing what’s best for ones family than friends! You’re very correct mdala&thumbs up!
one d your comments are very mature and good.Keep it up
You fool! Did you marry her for her ability to speak English? Is English your mother tongue? Is it her mother tongue?
Ninshi taumufishapo kuli sex….the more orgasms a woman has,the more she moans & screams in english! So uposeko amano
Plz take her to school. Education never ends. She will be as good as Dr. Mpombo
You seem to have another woman in your life. Stop that. She will just spoil you and yo home. get it from me.
just be proud of your wife and I am sure she speaks well. Some people are just haters mwaba ukukpula abana no wonder men run away from you coz you are idiots.
IWE GUY ULISAKA SANA,YOU ARE IN LOVE AND MARRIED TO THAT WOMAN AND NOT HER BROKEN ENGLISH.BE PROUD OF HER YOU ARE LUCKY SHE CAN EVEN SPEAK BE-INGLISH
Thats why they say marry with someone you are compatible with (though not necessarily!), its not just English there alot of cases some girlfriends/wives cant express themselves in current affairs, general knowledge, foreign issues etc. E.g “Obama just landed in Germany” and your woman goes like “…who is Obama!?…” Now that sucks!
Tumfweko where is my post? This sucks.
You are foolish! Didn’t you get to know her before marriage? If you did then it means you wanted a beautiful uneducated woman you can easily manipulate. Why complain now?
Your plan was to be deceiving her by showing her Zesco or Zamtel Bills in place of your payslip because she could be illiterate. Now with Zesco prepaid scheme & coming of cellphones you may not even be owning a land phone meaning you have no bills to present to her. Wait a minute! Shift to Kitwe & use Nkana water & sewerage bills that look more like payslips instead because I’m told Lusaka water is now on prepaid!
However, like others above have advised send her back to school. Better late than never.
My brother me is to no not is speak the good, this boring ancient language you is the call English, if is embarrassing the wife speak, give me mingle with her and tangle we is can compatible.
Iwe bukala bwanama wabe tole finshi ulelanda ati boring acient language ninshi ulelembela mucisungu if its boring chikala bukala bwanama. Anyway what is so special ne cisungu foooolish

YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT YOURSELF FOR NOT HELPING YOUR WIFE!
wecipuba we. bushe umukashi obe musungu? nga iwe uli musungu? why are you so eager to help the british speak their language. so umukashi obe ngatasambilila ninshi kumubela insoni mwa?
Pamputi chikala why being ashamed of yo wife’s vocabularly? Didnt u court before u got married? Tawaishibe ati icisungu teti balande? Use yo natural language and thats it! Are u happy to see yo friends smiling or yo wife? “ati embarassed over my wife’s English” swine akaputi ifyabupuba. Grow up please makaka.
English is a language just like any other language spoken locally.Lack of it on your wifez tongue should not bother you much.you should ve learnt about it during your courtship.However,tek ha bak to sch.
Back to school man,after all ni language fye
Uli cisushi sana anso futi icisushi ceshilu. Bushe ilyo walemufwaya tawaishibe ati taishiba ukulanda icingeleshi? Iwe waposele fye amano on her beauty. Nangu taishibe ukulanda icisungu mukashi obe. Swaini!!
We r not white stick to ur mother tang n enjoy ur life
Ine ifyabusungu panse!!!
This is the same mentality and inferiority complex NEZ has.He is always telling us about his imaginary trips to Europen countries.He thinks in this way he will look very important.We are Zambians and must be proud of who we are.
Kiki this is the stupidity i talk about. You should understand that I am a public figure who is accountable to my supporters here. Therefore any official business and travel I do under upnd sponsorship I am obliged to inform people. For your information I find flying irritating and tiring. Nothing to brag about. The pf poverty in you is talking

Kwena mwebana ba Mfumu mwalanda,ala nifwefye fwebena zambia tumekela English,its not our mother language,we even change the accent,ubupuba,tulaseka nomuntu nga alanda broken english,what foolishness.just take your wife to school,somebody mentioned of the University,rubbish,do people start from the leaves or is it from roots??evening classes are all over,get her enrolled,you will not regret.
English has no master bambuli imwe. Even a white person makes errors in gramma.
Iwe you have no respect for your wife. What has the English language got to do with having a good time with friends? Wangumfwisha ubunang’ani. Atase!
OH! POOR NEZ CIKALA.
OH! POOR NEZ CIKALA
why not take her to school to sharpen her English or u stop goin out and spend time with her at home.u are a very selfish man hu wud rather continue to go out while leaving yo wife at home.Goin out is more important than yo marriage.wen dating her dint u notice her English?or I guess u were only interested in her beauty.i doubt if u luv her.u are a foolish man.grow up.
What’s wrong with you! This is a wrong slave mentality. Why should one be forced to speak English? Is it your mother tongue? Learn to be proud of your own language.
While English is not the mother language, we should not ignore that it’s a global language. Many countries tht were not using it have now started teaching it in some schools. E.g. Spain, German, China, France, Brazil, Japan, Congo DR, Tanzania, Angola, Mozambique. We cannot ignore the importance of English globally.
However, u shud not get worried, just take your wife for private lessons to learn basic English for communication or even as a subject followin our school system from the grade she stopped. Language is a science therefore, there’s no language tht is more or less difficult to learn all one needs is interest and exposure to the particular language.
cheap is expensive.
Since u love her be pround of her and u should be taking her out becoz english techupo so what u should do since u are educated its yo duty know 2 start teaching her english.jst be pround of our lagueges am sure she is fluet in one of our langues so u should be using one.dot forget also dat even her there is one thing dat she is not pround of u.but she has kept it.jst becoz u are da husband may be yo smell in yo mouth she doest lyk and mayb she has never told n 1abt it.iwe u are biz ebarasing yo lovely wife 2 da world.idiot be careful when u are talking 2 da public
