Why Learn Twi?
Native to Ghana, the Twi language is one of the primary varieties of the Akan language, mostly used by the Akan people. The Akans are the largest of Ghana’s seventeen ethnic groups, making Twi one of the most spoken languages in the country. Throughout Ghana and several other countries (Ivory Coast, Jamaica, and Suriname), Twi is spoken by nearly 5 million people worldwide.
Given its origins as an Akan language, Twi is mutually intelligible with three main sub-languages and dialects of Akan: Asante, Akuapem, and Bono. The Twi language has a handful of main dialects spoken throughout Ghana, including Kwawu, Akyem, Asen, Dankyira, and others.
If you want to learn Twi online, Pimsleur puts you on the path to confident conversations in the language. Twi is just one of the 51+ languages we offer as a course, available in our Premium Monthly (Twi only) or All-Access Monthly (all languages).
Broaden your cultural horizons. Travel with confidence in Ghana and neighboring African countries. As you learn the Twi language with Pimsleur, you can even learn to read in Twi, as the language utilizes the Latin alphabet!
Our Twi lessons are centered around the Pimsleur Method™. Developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, this proven method puts you in control as you learn to speak Twi. The Pimsleur Method is based around four core learning pillars: Organic Learning, the Principle of Anticipation, Core Vocabulary, and Graduated Interval Recall. This method is the basis for helping you learn Twi much faster than most people think!
The Best Way to Learn the Twi Language
Pimsleur’s Twi courses take a listen-and-learn approach. When you first learned your native language, you gained the bulk of your knowledge by hearing other people speak. It’s this simple yet often-overlooked concept that streamlines the process as you learn the Twi language online. Think of it as learning the language like a child but with the added challenge of grown-up lessons, memory retention, and all the on-the-go convenience of 21st-century learning applications.
Speaking of learning on the go, Pimsleur helps you learn Twi wherever you happen to be, whenever you like! From taking a stroll in your free time to doing the dishes, it’s always a great time to take Twi courses!
Every aspect of our Twi language learning program is easily accessible from your laptop or mobile phone, including 30-minute Core Lessons, Voice Coach AI pronunciation feedback, digital flash cards, reading lessons, Speed Round Games, and much more.

Learn Twi with the Pimsleur App
Speak Twi with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Twi. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Twi language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
Don't miss out. Try learning Twi with Pimsleur today while your first week is FREE!
