About Us

Study Twi is a quick and simple way to learn one of Ghana’s languages - Akan Twi. We are an online learning platform for Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians of all levels to improve their language skills since 2019.

 

Our Purpose:

 

With everyone’s eyes on Ghana, many Ghanaian youth in the diaspora are naturally teaching their peers about the Ghanaian culture. This of course must come with the main language - Twi. However, mustering up enough courage to form coherent sentences is an area where many of us fall short. African languages are often overlooked and deemed as too cultural, however, with the increasing interest and tourism Ghana has seen over recent years, it’s only right for those interested in the country and its people to learn and speak the official language too. We are here to teach you Asante Twi that us Ghanaians actually speak. 

​

Our Team:

We're Serwaa and Ama, Ghanaian sisters born and raised in London to wonderful Asante parents. We started Study Twi back in 2019 after one of Serwaa’s Ghanaian colleagues was shocked that she could speak, read and write Twi. 

 

He was born and raised in Ghana but since moving to London as a child he completely lost how to speak the language. We knew there was a demand as we had met so many Ghanaians who sadly struggled to express themselves in Twi. 

And this made us really see how blessed we are to be fluent Twi speakers. Here’s how it all started…

​

Our parents struggled with English, so growing up we spoke Twi at home. 

We often had to translate letters, write emails and make phone calls on our parents' behalf. Translating from English to Twi and vice versa.

​

We also grew up with a community of Ghanaians and learnt to study the Bible in Twi. We realised how our parents’ effort to communicate with us in Twi helped us because when we’d visit Ghana, we could easily converse with our grandparents, family members and friends in Twi.

 

Now with 5 years of Study Twi, we’ve helped learners from all over the world become fluent in Twi.

 

Our students have gone from zero knowledge to confident speakers in just 10 weeks! From celebrities to working professionals to volunteers we've taught them all.
