This is a brilliant lesson. Even though I know most of the greetings, there were quite a few things that were clarified for me. So really appreciate it. thanks
Another great lesson. Medaase papaapa Yaw. I have watched nearly all your videos and I can already have simple conversations in Twi... The only problem is that sometimes people speak really fast and then I cannot follow them. But that will get better for sure.
I enjoy Highlife music, and I'm grateful because these topics use words that are more likely to find in lyrics. Introductions and weather are accessible to learn, and theres lots of those classes, but its hard to find lessons on these advanced words from a colloquial approach.
This is fantastic Yaw, I’ve been enjoying all your lessons, including the ones from 5 years ago! This media dialogue is fabulous. However, this length is perfect for us beginners - you mentioned making lengthier ones. Perhaps have short, medium and long to cater for all abilities! After nearly 20 years of marriage to a Ghanaian and 3 children I’ve finally decided to take Twi lessons seriously (too late for the kids 😢). Keep up the good work!
i have a question about a phrase that you used at the start of this video: "megye di sɛ". i hear that phrase being used a lot. is it a figure of speech? when i try to do a word-by-word breakdown of the phrase i am not able to come up with anything that makes sense.
Hello...if you would allow me to ecplain. gye di is a phrasal verb that means to believe.; gye di s3 means to believe that...and is used to express an opinion. So in the intro Yaw was saying that he believes that this lesson is helpful... I hope this help.
@@learnakan He is doing amazingly well. He still remains in hiding because the police never caught who did it. He has a TH-cam channel. The name is Scorp Gh Media. There is even an interview with me that was filmed while I was there. I am SO FAT! Eiiii ! When I got home I started seriously eating better and exercising and since May I've already lost 11kg but there is more to go! 🤣
there is a "saa", as stated in this video, which means "that's right/so". but there is another way in which people say "saa" while pinching off the nasal passage. that "saa" seems to have a very difference meaning - from what i can tell, you would use this second "saa" when referring to some unfavorable event. could you say what this second "saa" actually means?
"saa", like most other two and three-letter words, can mean quite a number of different things depending on where it is used. You'd have to put what you are referring to in a sentence for us to be able to tell.
@@learnakan note the two different ways of saying "saa" in the following video. the first way: th-cam.com/video/Z3iPNjp8lSk/w-d-xo.html this first "saa" sounds like a confirmation of what he was being told; versus the second way: th-cam.com/video/Z3iPNjp8lSk/w-d-xo.html it sounds like the second "saa" is referring to a negative experience.
This sort of dialogue breakdown is very useful for me, thank you!
I'm literally In love with that format, wish I can see more often these kind of videos.
The production and editing is AMAZING. Your word-by-word break down is crazy organized! High quality all around
You’re really helping me
I want to learn how to speak Twi fluently by the end of the year
the "dialogue review" series is a great idea. it works really well to reinforce topics discussed in previous lessons.
