Why Learn Twi?

static block photo

Native to Ghana, the Twi language is one of the primary varieties of the Akan language, mostly used by the Akan people. The Akans are the largest of Ghana’s seventeen ethnic groups, making Twi one of the most spoken languages in the country. Throughout Ghana and several other countries (Ivory Coast, Jamaica, and Suriname), Twi is spoken by nearly 5 million people worldwide.

Given its origins as an Akan language, Twi is mutually intelligible with three main sub-languages and dialects of Akan: Asante, Akuapem, and Bono. The Twi language has a handful of main dialects spoken throughout Ghana, including Kwawu, Akyem, Asen, Dankyira, and others.

If you want to learn Twi, Pimsleur puts you on the path to confident conversations in the language. Twi is just one of the 51+ languages we offer as a course, available in our Premium Monthly (Twi only) or All-Access Monthly (all languages).

Broaden your cultural horizons. Travel with confidence in Ghana and neighboring African countries. As you learn the Twi language with Pimsleur, you can even learn to read in Twi, as the language utilizes the Latin alphabet!

Our Twi lessons are centered around the Pimsleur Method™. Developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, this proven method puts you in control as you learn to speak Twi. The Pimsleur Method is based around four core learning pillars: Organic Learning, the Principle of Anticipation, Core Vocabulary, and Graduated Interval Recall. This method is the basis for helping you learn Twi much faster than most people think!

The Best Way to Learn the Twi Language

Common Questions About Learning Twi

Is Twi a difficult language to learn?

If you’re willing to learn and bring a genuine curiosity to the table – that’s a great start. But you still need a language learning platform that’s able to maximize your oral (speaking) and aural (listening) skills to learn Twi. Pimsleur takes a listen and speak approach with all of our Twi courses, enabling you to get the most out of your learning experience. But that’s not all! Our immersive, intuitive Twi lessons – Digital Flash Cards, Lightbulb Moments, Speed Round Games, and more – ensure you’re learning key language components with growing confidence, all while having fun!

How long does it take to learn the Twi language?

Our goal is to help you learn to speak Twi conversationally, without taking endless months. Thanks to our innovative techniques, based on the Pimsleur Method, you’ll start to learn the Twi language before you know it. It only takes 30 minutes per day to learn Twi with Pimsleur (bonus points if you’re willing to devote more time, it’s entirely up to you), and many of our customers come away from their first lesson able to speak basic words and phrases. Contrast that with traditional language learning programs, focused on reading and writing skills, and the choice is clear: if you want to learn Twi as fast as possible, Pimsleur has everything you need.

What are the main challenges when learning Twi?

Learning the Twi language, like any foreign tongue, has its share of hurdles. But Pimsleur turns potential obstacles into opportunities. The Twi language has nearly 30 consonants, and at least 10 vowels. Depending on context and usage, the meaning and syntax can vary considerably in different consonant-vowel order and combinations. The Twi vocabulary also contains numerous loan words from Portuguese, Arabic, and other languages, which require refined nuance between near-similar words and sentences. Pimsleur accounts for these challenges and plenty more as you learn to speak Twi.

How important is pronunciation in learning Twi?

You can learn Twi the traditional way, courtesy of textbooks, reading lessons, grammar exercises, and more. But to truly absorb and learn the Twi language fully, you must pronounce the language’s words correctly, with the right pace and tone. Our Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback tool is a game-changer in this regard, with personalized feedback and clear guidance to ensure you grasp the unique aspects of speaking Twi. Pimsleur puts speaking and pronunciation firmly in focus with all our Twi courses.

Are the Twi lessons suitable for complete beginners?

Of course! Thanks to our inclusive, accessible platform, anyone can learn Twi, including those who’ve never spoken the language. Pimsleur also has intermediate and advanced lessons, if you want to start a little beyond novice level. Convenience is critical for beginners to learn the Twi language, and our go-anywhere app puts powerful learning tools at your fingertips – anytime, anywhere! It’s always the ideal time to learn Twi with Pimsleur. Start learning Twi (and any other of our 51+ languages) with an All Access subscription today.
