Asante Twi is the most widely spoken dialect of the Akan language. It is spoken by about 40 percent of people in Ghana as their first language and about 20 percent of the remainder speak it as their second language. Nkyea Twi Primer is meant to introduce a non-Twi speaker to the spoken language. It may also be used by those who have some knowledge of the language, but who want to improve their competence in it. The focus of Nkyea Twi Primer is the spoken language, and we have made every effort to ensure that all the words and phrases are what you will have to know to be able to speak fluent Twi quickly with minimal learning effort.

I really want to learn Fante but I could not find courses in Fante. I decided to study twi and later learn the differences if I could communicate in twi. Is this a good approach? Is there enough interest to develop a course in Fante?
Yes, it’s a reasonable approach considering the fact that both dialects come from the same Akan language. When you learn Twi you will be able to understand what a Fante person says even though the accent is different.
