A Comprehensive Course in Twi (Asante)
Asante Twi is the most widely spoken of the dialects of the Akan language. Akan is spoken by about 44 percent of Ghana’s population as a first language, and is also used as a second language by a large number of the remainder. This book 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, and also has a considerable English-Twi vocabulary. The main focus of this course is the spoken language, and every effort has been made to ensure that the dialogues are as natural and as close to current everyday usage as possible.
This book is a must not only for anyone who wants to relate to people in Ghana whether he or she is on a short or an extended visit, but also for other Ghanaians who are interested in the Twi language or require a working knowledge in the language.
Professor Florence Abena Dolphyne taught in the Department of Linguistics in the University of Ghana from 1965-2001. She has published several books, including The Akan (Twi-Fante) language: Its Sound Systems and Tonal Structure, A Course in Oral English and the accompanying Teachers’ Handbook, and the best-selling Emancipation of Women: An African Perspective.

Baba Atenga has ten cows. He is fond of them all. One afternoon, one of the cows breaks loose. This happens when he sends them out to graze. Its name is Paka the cow. It fiercely jumps unto the street and off it goes. It goes through various places, enters a township, moves straight to a school compound, then to other places. Its roaming leads it to the lorry station as well. As to whether it is going to board a lorry, no one knows. Everywhere it goes it creates fear and panic.
How is Paka the cow tamed?
