    lol your so funny, I actually heard men in Ghana speak like this when I was there a couple of years ago. I love the connection and how I could some what understand what they were saying. I didn't know any Ghanaian languages at the time so pidgin really helped. Great video loving the learning series.

      I really enjoyed learning Pidgin, it would actually be easier to communicate if you didn't know any Ghanaian language and the Ghanaian person didn't speak english. Its the closest you could get I think. Thanks for the love.

    Ghanaians predominantly speak Twi. The younger generation has learned pidgin from watching Nigerian movies and interacting with Nigerians. As the lady rightly said, pidgin is spoken across generations and social class in naija. In many parts of the Deep South of Nigeria, it’s spoken as a first language. Nigerian and Cameroonian pidgin are way more advanced than the Ghanaian pidgin. Nigerian Pidgin is a complete language with slangs, proverbs, idioms etc… the language also uses a lot of onomatopoeia. I find the Ghanian pidgin very stiff; it doesn’t sound like it’s natural to them. Nigerian Pidgin is a very dynamic language- there are many ways of saying the same thing and a word can mean different things depending on the context, tonality, etc… Pidgin is a very beautiful language.

    Chop is the Nigerian pidgin for food. In the south pacific including maoti kai kai is food, there's another universal one for family and pikinini is children. I think there's 2 other universals but I forget.

    Here in Australia one pidgin was INVENTED in for use with migrant workers from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. They are extremely similar and I speak it fluenty. In Papua New Guinea there's a different one that a relative of mine had to learn as part of military training. They were a colony of Australian until 1977 and they grew a lot of coffee but no longer do. They also produced a lot of tobacco and still do but their copper mines are big there. There was a gold mine there that caused a hell of a problem leading to one island almost becoming completely independent after the Australian arm of an American mining company caused a bit of trouble there. After the mining company tried to employ mercenaries, our special forces hopped in and confiscated their helicopters and shut it down to stop it becoming a war. There was very nearly a civil war in the Solomon Islands on the early 2000s and we stomped it out so hard we basically ran the country for a few years until everything settled down.

    Pidgin english is actually spoken in most african countries if not all. Also it's a combination of different languages as well so I could say that every time people create some words of their own

      STOP Lying, back in the 50s, 60s, 70s ghanaians did NOT speak pidgin, ghanaians would only speak English and their native language languages. my grandmother even told me how ghanaians used to laugh at the Nigerians in Ghana when the Nigerians would speak pidgin back then. some years ago when i was speaking pidgin to a elder ghanaian guy, he responded by telling "we ghanaians DON'T speak that Nigerian nansence, it is the younger ones that picked up that nansence from the Nigerians"..

    Your guest has little to no knowledge of the history of pidgin in Ghana. Ghanaians did not start speaking pidgin because of Nigerian movies. Pidgin was in Ghana event before Nigerian gained independence. But it was spoken mostly by very few people especially youngmen
