Course Description

Introductory Twi is an eight class course where you will learn the essentials to function in a Twi-speaking environment within a Ghanaian cultural context. You will learn greetings, introductions and basic conversational skills. You will learn pronunciation, sentence structure, regular verb tenses and noun classes. Cultural lessons are part of language learning and you will learn how to count and tell time, how the family and community are structured, how to address different people, proverbs and the names of important food, places, items etc... Learning activities are appropriate for all ages and will include listening, speaking, singing, reading, role-playing, writing and games. You will be expected to reinforce learning between classes by completing homework assignments and by learning and using vocabulary words. A practical assessment of acquired skills concludes the course.

Reasons to learn Twi at Abibitumi Kasa

(An Abibitumi Kasa Student Testimonial)

"Maaha. These are just a few things learning Twi at Abibitumi Kasa has done for me.

Baako- It increases your brain power-Having to think, comprehend, and respond in logical manner in another language causes you to stretch the limits of your mind.

Mmienu- It adds to your own personal development - Being able to learn another language gives you a deeper sense of achievement. It gives you a cursory glance of what your mind is capable of doing.

Mmiensa- It gives us another means to communicate without relying on yt.

Enan- It bridges gaps amongst Africans. - This is the most important reason for me. While I was visiting Ghana, I used as much Twi as I was capable of. When I spoke to my brothers and sisters in Twi, I was regarded with respect for taking the time to learn a mother tongue and for trying to use it. This feeling of acceptance by my Ghanaian brothers and sisters goes way beyond anything I have ever experienced. It also tore down the barrier of relying on yt language to communicate.

And as a side note, I was commended for the tonation used while speaking. Everyone thought I had learned Twi from a native speaker. When I told them I learned from an African in the u.s. through Abibitumikasa, they were shocked. So I am a personal witness on the importance of learning our languages and the thorough instruction provided by Abibitumikasa.

If you are serious about being an African and your aim is to help Africans
throughout the Diaspora, it would behoove us all to learn our own languages.

I will continue studying Twi and hope to learn other languages as well. I
challenge others to do the same.

Medase pa"
