Ewe language

[ikddihnnh]

Why do You not write down the words upon the wall? Who could learn by Your incompetent

explanations? Go to university and learn didactic before you try to be a teacher. What kind of a nonsense is that what You make. That is only English with some other words.What a curious stammer it is . Let is be. So nobody can learn EWe. Oh, I lol, I am a German language teacher. come to my facebook page.

My boyfriend is Togolese. When I am around he's family i feel lost. so I just sit back and listen. The Language is Beautiful. but hard to pronounce. You need a lot of patience. Hopefully i will be able to speak Ewe =)

Modelearth go get a life. Why did u jus say it is a pointless language. It's jus like saying English is pointless. Do learn how to speak it before you comment. Smh

[mykool2]

Wayzoh! Akpe!

[modelearth]

pointless language

[revsba]

Thanks for the video. I used to live in Lomé and traveled some through Ghana. This video makes me homesick for Africa. Like you said, some may critic your pronunciation but most people I met were very appreciative that a Yovo would attempt to speak their language.

is so funny to hear the white man speak ewe. But they are mixing the dialect. they are saying some words in togolese and some works in aglo. anyway, well done

[bmh4d0k3n]

I think this would be a bit more helpful with only one of them speaking at the same time so you could hear a native speaker more clearly rather than having a non-native try to clear it up.

[plutoice21]

@bmh4d0k3n definitley

[BreeNicole21]

ohhh this brings back the memories of being in ghana. the kids always scream yavu.(idk how to spell it)

[bennetmx]

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen on line. Simple and efficient!! Looking for more in depth tutorials from you.

[SWilson510]

This is a Togolese version of Ewe, spoken by people in Ghana. The Ewe learning materials I found on the Internet helped me get started, by my friends here in the video all laughed at me and asked where I learned to speak "Volta" (poorly!). Ewe is spoken in the Volta Region of Ghana and in southern Togo, but there are different dialects. While noticeable, most people Ewe people can understand the different dialects. Apparently the Togolese people will refer to the Ghanaian dialect as "Volta".

[plutoice21]

@roboriddy75 lol when he asked how the wife is doing in ewe i was like pause what?! then the black guys answered him and then i understood what he said.

[TheEyesOfNye]

@iheartneji13 How would you better translate it? I would like to know because I will be going there next summer.

[koudjo1]

[tobytizzle]

Steve how come towards the end when you ask how much the water is and they guy in the middle replies 5 pesewas you 'correct' him and say "you mean 500". Water sachets do cost 5 don't they?

When I was in Ghana many people would try and use the old money system, but were you correcting him incorrectly? lol

[ezridax]

i went to the link, it doesnt work anymore

[SWilson510]

when you cut-and-paste the link, there may be a '%20' that gets inserted into the web address. Be sure to delete those characters so the address reads properly.

[ezridax]
