Are you familiar with the colours of the Ghana national flag? Can you say those colours in Twi?
This lesson takes a look at the Twi names of some basic colours. Unlike in English, Twi does not make distinctions between many shades of colours. This lesson will, therefore, be a short one.
You may watch the video lesson embedded below, or continue reading beneath it.
