First words in Twi

Wo ho te sɛn? (wo-ho-te-SEN?), How are you?

MA-chay / wo-ho-te-SEN

Maakye (ma-CHAY), Good morning

Formal greeting

Did you know? Ghana carries an exceptional artistic heritage. Kente cloth, with its intricate multicolored patterns, was once reserved for Ashanti kings and is now worn at major African and African-American ceremonies. Adinkra symbols, visual Akan ideograms, convey deep proverbs and philosophies. Each design encodes an entire concept. Ghana was the first Sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957, under Kwame Nkrumah, a visionary of Pan-Africanism. Today, Accra is one of Africa's most dynamic metropolises for culture, tech, and Afro-diasporic tourism.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Twi

Is Twi a difficult tonal language?

Twi is a tonal language with four tones (high, low, mid, and falling). Tones are essential, they can completely change the meaning of a word. But with a native teacher correcting tones in real time, your ear adapts progressively. Many learners from the Ghanaian diaspora already have an intuitive grasp of the tones through family exposure, our lessons formalize that instinct.

What is the difference between Asante Twi and Akuapem?

There are two main variants of Twi. Asante Twi, spoken in Kumasi and the Ashanti Region, is the most widespread and considered the standard. Akuapem is spoken in the Eastern Region of Ghana and is historically tied to the first Bible translation into Twi. Both are mutually intelligible. Our courses teach Asante Twi, which is the most widely spoken variant in the global diaspora.

Is Twi useful within the Ghanaian diaspora?

The global Ghanaian diaspora is estimated at 3 million people, with significant concentrations in the UK, the United States, Germany, and France. In France, the Ghanaian community is active in music (the Parisian Afrobeats scene), commerce, and cultural associations. Speaking Twi with a Ghanaian instantly creates an exceptional connection, Ghanaians take deep pride in their language and culture.

Can Ghanaian Afrobeats help with learning Twi?

Yes, it is one of the best methods. Sarkodie, widely regarded as Africa's top rapper, raps primarily in Twi with a sprinkling of English. Black Sherif has conquered African and international charts with a blend of Twi, Hausa, and English. Stonebwoy and Amaarae use Twi across their dancehall and Afrobeats productions. Our teachers can build lessons around the lyrics of your favorite artists.

How long does it take to speak Twi fluently?

For a French speaker, 8 to 12 months with 2 lessons per week is enough to reach B1. Twi uses the Latin alphabet, which simplifies reading. The main challenges: the tones (four to master), the vocabulary with no common roots with European languages, and the gap between formal Twi (standard Asante) and Accra slang (heavily influenced by English). That said, oral progress comes quickly with regular practice.

How much do Twi courses cost on Targumi?

Reviews

They are learning Twi with Targumi

Verified learner testimonials.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
