We’ve already taken a general look at the consonant digraphs in Twi. If you missed that lesson, you can take it here: Twi Consonant Digraphs.

From my interactions with Twi learners, I’ve noticed that the most challenging words to pronounce are usually the ones that contain consonant digraphs. So in this new pronunciation-focused series, we’re going back to break them down, one digraph at a time.

In this third lesson in the series, we’re focusing on how to correctly pronounce the Twi digraph “ky”. We’ll also go through some example words that contain “ky” to help you hear and practice it in context.
