Learning to Twi-tter

My first week in Accra was spent in in-country training with all of the other volunteers and lots of programme office staff.  The timetable was comprehensive and took us through security briefing, programme briefings, health workshop, discussions about the tripartite agreement between VSO, our local partner organisations and ourselves along with lots of other sessions. For me, the most challenging (and most fun) were the 3 introductory sessions on Twi, the most widely spoken language other than English in the Accra area. It's really not necessary for getting by here but knowing a few words is already bringing a smile to local faces, as well as mine :)

I took a short video so you could learn how to count from 2 - 10 in Twi (I didn't quite start the video in time to catch 1 I'm afraid!) courtesy of our tutor Ananay, but I don't think the updload has worked so apologies if it isn't above.
