In Ghana you hardly hear people counting numbers in Twi, except when they are doing transactions where the range is 0 to 10. With numbers greater than 10, most people switch to English. It is only during Twi programmes on the radio or when you visit places like Kumasi and Sunyani that you hear people saying huge numbers in Twi. Let’s learn how to count from 0 to 10 in Twi.
Click the speaker buttons to hear how to say each number. Practice how to say them until you get each one right.
