I'm an NYC nikka born and raised..... But I speak Creole like a Haitian nikka fresh off the plane.... Raised by my grandmother who cant speak english.

I knew creole/french before I even knew english....

I struggle like this sometimes whether i'm with other Twi-speaking ghanaians. My family is one of the minority tribes(dagomba) from the Muslim north so i grew up speaking Hausa perfectly with family and only started learning Twi next outside the home, and of course English at school.

Nowadays i have a tendency to end up slipping in English or Hausa words for certain twi words and proverbs i sometimes forget when speaking with non-Muslim ghanaians. It gets embarassing:francis:

Because your grandma taught you. :yeshrug: Some parents didn't teach them their native tongue.

This guy is the truth. :russ: I have dealt with this dreaming nonsense. :snoop:


This must be a black people thing, because EVERY TIME I would go out late, my mother(black american) would say she had a dream, and that I don't need to be in them streets at night. If it was a full moon, she would say "and its a full moon out there!":damn:

I just thought it was my mother who would talk that dream stuff:ohhh:
