Ghanaian brothers and sisters are amazing, humble, beautiful and peace loving people. I have admiration for them. South African.

[iloveyou]

From my own personal experience in Ghana, Ghanaian's prefer to speak the Akan language (TWI) over English, when you interact with them, so this is very helpful.

Hi Deborah, I'm an African-American born and raised an Memphis, TN. I do certainly plan on visiting Ghana in the near future. I'm totally fascinated with the country and it would be my dream to visit. Your lesson is a great benefit to people like me so please continue them whenever you can. Language learning takes time because there are so many peculiarities to learn and figure out: tense, mood, gender, standard form/conversational form, etc. I will be looking for additional language videos from you/Vanessa to share with my Keep up the magnificent work. By the way, you are an Absolutely Gorgeous woman that I would love to meet when I arrvive in Ghana (that is if you are not married or involved with someone). God Bless.

Speak to a man in a language he understands it goes to his head. Speak to a man in his language it goes to his heart - Nelson Mandela.

Learning the language (colonizer languages don't count) is arguably the most important thing you'll need when moving to the Continent. It takes time but is criminally overlooked and is key to survival on the Continent. Great vid Vanessa.

I lived in Ghana for several years and I can tell you that if you spend some time learning a little Twi it will go a very long way. Even just a few phrases will show respect, and win you lots of friends!

Thanks for sharing!
My parents are from west Africa, Guinea-Bissau. But I do understand some phrases in Twi Akan. When the lovely sister says "Yoo MA TE" which means " I Hear you". In manjak, we say " MA NTE" and it means " I Hear you"! or I understand. You can add "wo" at the end of the phrase and it means "you". " Ma nte wo".
Aane= yes. In manjak we say " Aa" =yes.
ME MA WO AKYE = I GIVE YOU A MORNING GREETING. in manjak we can say "Ma wo lu mboss" = I give you my greetings.
= oba = a child?
In manjak we can say " Opa" = a young man.

Is Deborah a trained teacher? She is just flawless the way she teaches

[LadyBC]

WOW WOW WOW! DEBORAH IS SOO AMAZING! WHAT A GREAT TEACHER AND BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING INSIDE AND OUT! LOVED THE LESSON!

[ivargasiv]

I really appreciate this video, I'm Puerto Rican, and I work with alot of guys from Ghana. Most of them actually speak spanish very well, so I'm going to learn the basics and hopefully better understand and speak with them in twi. Learning how to properly pronounce the words is important to me. I want to sound right. So, thank you for this.

[youngenola]

Oh my goodness, this sister is so beautiful, i can`t even pay attention to her lesson. I`m gonna be serious in learning Twi language cuz of you....

Twi has lot of words that can be found in English that's why Twi is so easy to learn. By the way, I found out that English pronunciations came out of Twi/Akan alphabets. Anyonr that doubts me should check out the Twi alphabets.

God bless you ladies for this project. Please don't stop. It would help a lot of people especially, Ghanaians born abroad whose parents have done them a disservice by not teaching them their mother tongue. Indians, Koreans, Mexicans etc teach their kids their respective languages. Ghanaians don't know how to do this, making the kids feel ashamed to speak. The sad part is our folks back home (urban areas) who have found a new love for the english language. Kids born in Ghanaian cities today speak english only and hardly understand a word of the mother tongue. Our culture and who we are starts with our language. Let's take pride in it. Medaase.

Thank you very much for the lesson. I just found out I have Akan ancestry and i am planning to visit Ghana someday. Nice job! Cheers!

[welekid]

Amazing how Twi is so close to Anyin and Baule. We would say "Wo houn ti se" and "Mi houn ti ye" or "Mi houn ti pka "

[michellepalmer]
