How To Speak Fantse: Learn To Speak Mfantse (#1)
More from Wikipedia: "Fante (Akan: [ˈfɑnti]), also known as Fanti, Fantse, or Mfantse, is one of the three principal members of the Akan dialect continuum, along with Asante and Akuapem, the latter two collectively known as Twi, with which it is mutually intelligible. It is spoken in the central and southern regions of Ghana, as well as in settlements in other regions in western Ghana.
Fante is the common dialect of the Fante people, whose communities each have their own subdialects, such as Agona, Anomabo, Abura, and Gomoa, all of which are mutually intelligible. Schacter and Fromkin describe two main Fante dialect groups: Fante 1, which uses a syllable-final /w/ and thus distinguishes kaw (""dance"") and ka (""bite""); and Fante 2, where these words are homophonous. A standardized form of Fante is taught in primary and secondary schools.
Many Fantes are bilingual or bidialectal and most can speak Twi. Notable speakers include Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and former Ghanaian presidents Kwame Nkrumah and John Atta Mills.
Maya Angelou learned Fante as an adult during her stay in Ghana. One striking characteristic of Fante is the level of English influence, including English loanwords and anglicized forms of native names, due both to British colonial influence and ""to fill lexical and semantic gaps, for reasons of simplicity and also for prestige"". Examples of such borrowings include rɛkɔso (""records""), rɔba ""rubber"", nɔma (""number""), kolapuse ""collapse"", and dɛkuleti ""decorate"". Native names are occasionally anglicized, such as ""Mεnsa"" becoming ""Mensah"" or ""Atta"" becoming ""Arthur"". Many people consider European Christian missionaries and schools the cause of this anglicization."

Ekow,this is a brilliant deed you are doing . Never stop! Emagin if all content creators on the motherland provided this learning opportunity of indigenous language to the diaspora. You are promoting better communication with language. I can't say enough about this. I trust it will become a trend sooner than later. Much respect!
thanks for the kind words
Hello Nephew Ekow , this is your auntie & colleague . Sister Ekua in New York . It has been a long time since I saw you on UA-cam. What's going on with you ? How are your students .
Please keep these Mfantse lesson going. My wife and I need to learn it. Medase.
I am so glad that you have started Mfantse lessons which is similar to other Ghanaian languages so if one Master it, they can communicate others instead of English
yes we can find ways to communicate other than English
Very good idea Ekow.
thanks a lot
Hey bro! Congratulations in advance,! 🎊
This is a + 4 u... Always initiating new ideas. I think we can start w/ letters and sounds b4 we proceed to 2-3 letter words, it'll mk the learning very easier.
Ekow, this is a great idea. I'm definitely interested in learning Twi and the other local dialects. Medase!
Great idea. I love the way you are trying to make this work. Every movement will have its naysayers. It is up to those who want it to work to make it work.
If you read some of the literature around the pioneering days of the Europeans in what is now USA, you will see some similar challenges. This come with building a new settlement.
Kudos to you for rooting for the PAV!
Hi Ekow these are great idea you’re bringing up much love from (Paris France )
much respect ✊
Yeah 🎉!! Medase 😁
Finally 🙏🏾
yes ooo finally
Yaay, here for it!
lets do it dear
Greetings from Texas Brother Ekow! I just returned from a rammed earth workshop in Accra & very short visit to our Asebu plots 2 weeks ago. I LOVE your idea! Since Twi lessons are so easy to find, I'd especially like to learn Fante words & numbers that are different from their Twi equivalents. For example, I a shopkeeper in Cape Coast kindly translated my counting (in Twi) to Fante numbers.
Loving your content & hope to meet again when we return in late summer.
thanks and lot and see u soon
Thank you, I’m trying to learn. Hearing how to pronounce the words is very helpful!!!
u hve to learn it , it will surely help
Thank you Ekow. It's a great initiative. Can we start from the alphabets and numbers? Then from there, you can help us know the techniques of pronunciations. This will give us a good foundation to build upon. 😊
Keep up the good works!👏
Yes,alphabets first, with sounds, then words. Let's see what the people ask for.
Good point there and I agree with you. People take basic French, German, Arabic, etc. when visiting those countries. It's only in Africa that people take us for granted. You can teach a class and get paid for your service if only you'll get the time to do that.
i will really try my best and teach
