Twi Phrasebook

What you’ll learn

Twi Comprehensive is meant to introduce a non-Twi beginner 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.

Twi Comprehensive is divided into 3 sections; Vocabulary section, Dialogue section and Exercises section.

Vocabulary section

A vocabulary section comes before every dialogue. Each vocabulary section contains all the important words that will appear in the dialogue.

You should play, listen and memorize all the words in this section before you start the dialogue. This will allow you to grasp the language and how the words are used.

Dialogue section

The dialogue section is designed like a chat app and needs your input to steer the direction of each conversation. The dialogues contain words from the vocabulary. As you continue a dialogue you can play it to listen and shadow (repeat with the native speaker) the conversation. Shadowing helps with retention, confidence and fluency.

Exercises section

There are two exercises that test your listening and writing skills after every dialogue. The Listening Exercise asks you to choose the correct response from four sentences to continue a conversation. In the Writing Exercise you type the correct Twi translations for words from the vocabulary section.
