KSM Show- Yaa Baby, an American who speaks Twi, hangs out with KSM

[@Johnincoom]

She doesn't only know the language, she is totally aware of the culture. She is amazing. She shows Kumasi girl attitude.

[@kwadwo1000]

This lady speaks good Twi with Ghanain accent.

[@jojo5818]

Yaa Baby, you have really inspired me, I'm from Ghana but live in Australia, the people here always treat me different, I really hate it, so I feel you, but I admire your courage and the way you acknowledge your husband. You are very intelligent woman. Lots of love from Australia.

Yaa baby I'm jealous. You speak Twi so well!

I have never seen an African-American doing this. I'm very proud of her as a Ghanaian.

[@hueyfreeman7810]

@2689 5467 . I honestly would love to teach an African American mine native tongue, but the ones I've come across just want to make a joke out of it. And it saddest me everytime.

She is given a high profile all because she is a white woman. How about Black Ghanaians who can rattle the Twi Language very well.

[@agnn2228]

Wonderful effort in expressing herself in 'twi' so perfectly. It would have gone a long way if KSM included subtitles as the program now is global.

[@thewordsmith5440]

Even some black americans can't speak proper English unless he or she goes to school.anyway she has done well.

[@doreenoku475]

No one should be surprised at all. We all have freedom to learn anything we want to learn. Every language can be easily learnt by anyone depending on your seriousness. I can be in my ghetto, browse the internet, go to you tube and learn any language i want to learn. Also the environment which you reside can also influence you to speak the language spoken there. Also that also depends on your willingness to speak the language in that environment. REPLY

[@isaaca6445]

Because it's not that rare, but if you're black and speak Chinese, Lithuanian, Outer Mongolian...etc., you might turn heads. You Sabi?

[@skillfulpapa]

Aaaron, please read about #SamOkyere in South Korea ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoraamltnN12sLc and kzbin.info?search_query=sam+okyere+korea) . it is not out of the way that this lady is featured on TV in Ghana considering the effort she might have put into learning Twi and also the efforts at showcasing it.

[@thomasagorhom1139]

When you start flaunting it on social media, I believe you will be recognised. Put your candle on the candle stand so it shines for everyone to see. Don't hide in your room and expect to be heard. Besides, we have locals in Ghana who can't speak their local dialect. Even our news anchors struggle to pronounce local names. We now prefer to use English as the measure of intelligence.

[@jaycollison1]

Let me say this, some Ghanaians do not even value their language they think being Ghanaian and speaking German is awesome, but they forget how some foreigners also strive to speak our local language, we think others learning our language is not worth writing home about, but we learning and knowing how to speak French, Spanish German, Chinese etc... Is mind blowing and should be on tv.

[@obornyi2407]

I am german and I am learning Twi, I wished I had the courage to speak to strangers, there are a lot of ghanaian people where I live. I always think how rude it would be to go to other people assuming they are ghanaians and annoying them with my bad Twi

[@MakzyBeatz]

@@obornyi2407 it okay to try out what u have learnt it only helps in making u better and being fluent at the language, trust me people will appreciate u more just by knowing that you are trying, they might mess with you a bit but they will cooperate you on the language speaking.

[@nananketiah9760]

People out here saying it's "normal" as if they bump into white folks in gh speaking twi all da time . If you able to speak English it's probably because you learned it in school/were taught. again if u are able to speak German or any other language it's because u need to speak it to get around there since that's wat is spoken. In her case, she doesn't/ didn't need to learn how to speak twi because English is our 2nd language and everybody virtually speaks it . As much as I don't like kissing white folks ass, the fact that she made da effort to learn how speak it and so fluently is what is amazing ..don't sit there and act like u weren't and isn't surprised she can indeed speak and express her self so well 🙄

Lynn Dhar- sorry, but your translation was a little off- 'Medase' means 'thank you', 'akwaba' means 'welcome'- a little surprised you got this basic translation wrong?- he actually said in English "welcome to the show" and she replied "medase"- it wouldn't make sense for her to reply "welcome" since she was the guest.

[@philipk.5756]

Nice one keep it up

There is no stigma around your whiteness in Ghana, Chloe. What you enjoy is white privilege. Identify it correctly so that the discomfort you feel around it drives you to change this perception Ghanaians hold about you. It's also as a result of colonialism. As a Ghanaian, I detest this attitude and have called a lot of white people and Ghanaians out for it. Few 'obronis' acknowledge their complicity even when they are called out. You sound sincere and I hope this is not simply for publicity.

[@gurumics]

On the surface, I commend her and anyone who can submerge into a foreign culture and learn the language fluently and respect the culture. To that I say, well done. Below the surface, I say to Ghanaians to be very careful! Pay close attention to historical records. A certain class of people are notorious for venturing into foreign lands and befriending the people just to learn enough to overtake it and exterminate and subjugate the natives. BE VERY CAREFUL. The new trend is to mix their seed with the natives to gain a foothold in the culture. When this happens to a large degree, the full-breeds are removed. Look around the world. There's nothing new under the sun. No hate. Just reality.
